“Shōgun” dominated the second and final night of the 76th Creative Arts Emmys on Sunday, taking home the most awards with 14 and putting itself in prime position for the main ceremony on Sept. 15. The celebration began early for the FX drama when it collected the evening’s first award, Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series, for Nestor Carbonell’s performance in the episode “Anjin.”

It proved to be a busy night for “Shōgun.” The period drama picked up accolades for its below-the-line achievements in casting, costumes, makeup, hairstyling, stunts, production design, editing, visual effects, sound editing, sound mixing, main title design and cinematography. “Shōgun” nearly pulled off a perfect run at the Creative Arts Emmys, winning 14 out of the 16 categories it was nominated in. It also won more Creative Arts Emmys than “Game of Thrones,” the most nominated show in Emmy history; the HBO fantasy drama took home 10 in...

“The Crown” ended its six-season run on Netflix in December after previously winning a whopping 21 trophies at the Emmy Awards (including Best Drama Series in 2021). Last month, Emmy voters sent the classy regal series off in style by recognizing it for 18 final nominations. Gold Derby has done some digging and we have uncovered all of the episode submissions for “The Crown” Season 6, including for series, acting, writing, directing and the below-the-line races. Read on for the complete list.

Season 6 of “The Crown” was split into two volumes, with the first part focusing on the death of Princess Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) in 1997, and the second part chronicling the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II (Imelda Staunton) in 2002 and the wedding of Prince Charles (Dominic West) and Camilla Parker Bowles (Olivia Williams) in 2005. The series finale is titled “Sleep, Dearie Sleep” and focuses on the Queen confronting her own eventual mortality.

Nominations...

“The Crown” can only play a pair of Queens at the Emmys.

Emmy winner Olivia Colman, who portrayed Queen Elizabeth in the series finale episode of Netflix’s monarchy drama, is not eligible to submit in the guest drama actress race by only a few seconds. However, her co-star Claire Foy, who also portrays Her Majesty in her younger years and appears in the same episode, is eligible and will be the sole guest submission for the series, angling for her second win in the category.

The “Sleep, Dearie Sleep,” written by Peter Morgan and directed by Stephen Daldry, clocks in at a robust 72 minutes, the longest of any episode across its six seasons. In the series’ final moments, Imelda Staunton’s Elizabeth looks back on the highs and lows of her reign as she grapples with the idea of handing the crown to Charles. Her younger self appears to...

This 2011 theatrical remake of John le Carré’s spy classic is a happy surprise — it’s every bit as distinctive and accomplished as the famed Alec Guinness TV miniseries. Swedish director Tomas Alfredson and the writers know how to tell a story — at just over two hours it’s neither bloated nor curtailed. Gary Oldman immediately makes the brilliant George Smiley his own — he’s younger but just as quiet and secretive. Oldman is surrounded by distinctive talent, an ensemble that serves the story: John Hurt, Colin Firth, Toby Jones, Ciarán Hinds, Benedict Cumberbatch, Mark Strong, Tom Hardy. It’s a delight for mystery-spy fans whether or not they’re familiar with the John le Carré-George Smiley universe.
