Governors Award
During the second night of the Creative Arts Emmys, the Governors Award was presented to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, in recognition of CPB's championing "storytelling that informs, educates, and unites us and ensures public media remains a vital space where diverse voices are heard and communities are served".[6] The award was accepted by CPB president and CEO Patricia Harrison on the organization's behalf.[7] From its founding in 1967, CPB supported public broadcasters, including PBS and NPR, but following the removal of federal funding with the Rescissions Act of 2025, CPB plansnned to shut down by January 2026.[8]

Ceremony information
The 77th Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards were executive produced by Bob Bain and directed by Richard Preuss.[1] Nominations for the awards were unveiled on July 15. The winners were announced during two separate ceremonies at the Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles held over two consecutive nights on September 6 and 7.[10] The first night of awards focused on comedy, drama, and limited series programs, while the second night focused on variety, non-fiction, and reality programming. The two nights were edited into a single broadcast shown on FXX on September 13 and made available later on Hulu.[11]
Notes
- ^ The outlets listed for each program are the U.S. broadcasters or streaming services identified in the nominations, which for some international productions are different than the broadcaster(s) that originally commissioned the program. Programs broadcast by HBO or HBO Max were listed under both services in the nominations list; only the original broadcaster is listed below.
- ^
- Area awards are non-competitive; any nominee with at least 90% approval receives an Emmy. If no nominee receives 90% approval, the nominee with the highest approval receives an Emmy; for area awards in picture editing and sound mixing, there is an additional requirement that the highest-rated nominee must have at least 50% approval.[2]
- Juried awards generally do not have nominations; instead, all entrants are screened before members of the appropriate peer group, and one, more than one, or no entry is awarded an Emmy based on the jury's vote.[2]
