‘Beyoncé Bowl,’ ‘Arcane’ Among Juried Winners for 2025 Emmy Awards
The Emmys have begun handing out trophies for juried awards judged by a panel of creative peer in categories for animation, costume design, emerging media programming and motion and title design.
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and her costume design team including Shiona Turini picked up the juried Emmy for best costumes in variety or reality programming for Beyoncé Bowl, the pop superstar’s Netflix Christmas Day halftime show.
Netflix also cleaned up with the Love, Death + Robots animated anthology series, which earned trophies for best character animation (Daryl Graham), production design (Gigi Cavenago), character design (Robert Valley) and storyboard (Edgar Martins).
Netflix also saw its Arcane animated action series earn best background design for Bruno Couchinho and best color for Faustine Dumontier. And from Amazon MGM Studios, the docu-series Octopus! earned the juried best motion design trophy for a team led by Minkyung Chung, Michaela Olsen, Hayley Morris, Julie Gratz, Anthony Galante and Sabrina Chaney.
Elsewhere, the best innovation in emerging media programming went to White Rabbit, the anime series from Shibuya Film and directors and writers Maciej Kuciara and Emily Yang. The entrants for the juried categories are screened by a panel of respective peers in the categories. One, more than one or none could be awarded an Emmy, and for this reason, winners are picked by a one-step evaluation and voting procedure, followed by a thorough review of the project.
The rest of the 2024 Emmy nominees will be voted on by their peers ahead of the 77th Creative Arts Emmy Awards to be handed out over two nights on Sept. 6 and 7. The Emmy Awards will air live on Sept. 14 on the CBS network and Paramount+.
