- Apple TV's 'Widow's Bay' won eight Emmys on Night 2 of the 78th Creative Arts Emmys, positioning it as the frontrunner among comedy contenders heading into the September 14 Primetime ceremony.
- Apple TV totaled 18 Emmys on Night 2 — more than any other outlet — including four for 'Pluribus' and three each for 'Margo's Got Money Troubles' and 'Palm Royale.'
- HBO Max's 'DTF St. Louis' won six Emmys, sweeping both supporting acting limited/anthology categories (Harbour and Cardellini) and earning Steve Conrad double wins for directing and writing.
- Prime Video's 'Spider-Noir' took five Emmys just days after the show's cancellation, including stunt performance, special visual effects, and cinematography for a series (one hour).
- Julie Andrews won her fourth Emmy — her second in character voice-over — at age 90, extending her own record as the oldest woman ever to win, which she set at 89.
- The Television Academy presented its inaugural 'Legacy Award' to 'I Love Lucy' for its foundational role in sitcoms and TV syndication.
- To free up time for NBC's September 14 telecast, five categories were moved to Night 2, and the Academy dropped the 'Creative Arts' label, now referring to all three ceremonies simply as 'the Emmys.'
Why it matters: Apple TV enters the September 14 Primetime ceremony with a clear comedy-category lead, having collected 18 Emmys across Night 2 — well ahead of HBO Max's six (via 'DTF St. Louis') and Prime Video's five (via the canceled 'Spider-Noir'). The Academy's decision to fold five additional categories into the Sunday ceremony and retire the 'Creative Arts' label signals a structural rebrand of how the Television Academy presents its awards going forward.
