Maniacally Obsessing Over The 2018 Creative Arts Emmy Categories
This week, the Water Cooler gang looks at major races within the 2018 Creative Arts Emmy categories. Plus, is it too early to start talking about the 2019 Limited Series race? (Answer: No)
We’re returning to the 2018 Emmy cycle this week. Two weeks ago, we looked at some of our favorite categories – Main Title Theme and Main Title Design. This week, we look at a host of categories within the below-the-line 2018 Creative Arts Emmy categories. We predict Variety Special (Live), Drama, Comedy, and Limited Series Casting, Cinematography, Costumes, Reality Show Hosting, and Production Design. Looking at these categories sometimes gives Emmy watchers a hint at what could dominate in the main categories. Plus, we take a quick look at this weekend’s TCA award winners. | 6 August 2018

*Current standings in the ADTV Coolie Awards
Vote In The 3rd Annual ADTV Coolie Awards!
Ever wondered what it felt to vote for the Emmy® Awards? Awards Daily TV offers the next best thing! Vote in the 3rd Annual Coolie Awards!
Things get super real as voting for the 2018 Primetime Emmy Awards kicks off today. Awards Daily TV works all year to provide Emmy analysis, predictions, advocacy, and interviews. Yet, we like to recognize series we love with our own awards. Enter the Coolie Awards. Last year, the Coolie Awards rewarded Big Little Lies with four trophies. Outstanding Drama Series went to The Handmaid’s Tale. Veep repeated for Outstanding Comedy Series. It continues to be huge fun for all of us, so here we go again.
This year, we’re continuing to include our loyal readers. Simply enter your votes following the link below (where it says CLICK HERE TO VOTE…) in the major series and acting Drama, Comedy, and Limited/Series races. But, before you begin, a few rules…
The Rules
Voting on the 2017 Coolie Awards follows the Television Academy voting process as closely as possible. You are allowed to make up to 10 selections per category. The series categories will receive no less than seven nominees with the acting categories totaling no less than six nominees. Remember, do not predict the Emmy Awards here! Vote for what you love. We’ve made available an array of top-tier candidates in each category. However, if one of your favorites is missing, then please include it in the provided text field at the bottom of each form. You can even use the Television Academy official nomination ballots to guide your choices. Those files are located here:
Program (Comedy, Drama, Limited Series)
Performance (Comedy, Drama, Limited Series)
Here’s where things diverge from the Television Academy a bit. Every Awards Daily TV reader gets a vote. That vote counts equally against other Awards Daily TV readers and the Awards Daily TV staff. Because ties are allowed in the Emmy Awards world, nominations can exceed the minimum amount (six for acting, seven for series). No category will exceeded eight nominees – an Emmy rule.
In the event of a tie with a theoretical eight nominee, the preferences of the Awards Daily TV staff rule the day.
Voting closes on June 25 at 11pm ET. Nominees for the 2017 Coolie Awards will be announced July 11, one day before the Primetime Emmy Award nomination announcement.
So, that’s it? Got it? Good.
Get to it!
Judith Light talks about working with Ryan Murphy, Broadway and the important theme of homophobia in American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace.
Judith Light has spent the day talking to press about her latest role in American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace. We talk about how she divides time between Los Angeles and New York and our mutual love for theater.
Light was recently reunited with the cast of Versace and Executive Producer, Ryan Murphy when Pose premiered in New York. She raves about the show and Ryan Murphy’s talent. It’s easy to spend all day talking about Murphy and his groundbreaking work for TV, but we’re here to talk about Light and the outstanding performance she gives as Marilyn Miglin.
Her husband, Lee Miglin, a real estate business tycoon has been murdered by Andrew Cunanan and Marilyn, the Queen of Home Shopping goes to all lengths to preserve her dead husband’s reputation and maintain that the Miglins had a perfect marriage. “I won’t allow him to steal our good name.” She says when the police are filling her in on her husband’s gruesome murder. Much later, we see Marilyn break down after much public criticism over her cold behavior towards her husband’s murder. “Am I a real wife now?” She asks the camera.
Light’s performance is extraordinary, she owns every frame she appears in. Her expressions are nuanced, but her eyes tell a million stories. She has a Tony Award, a Daytime Emmy, but if you’re casting your Emmy votes, consider Light in American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace.
Listen to our chat below as we discuss Light’s early influences, how she crafted Marilyn Miglin, transforming, homophobia in the 90’s and working with Ryan Murphy. | 13 June 2018

‘Versace,’ the PGA, and SAG’s Impact on the Awards Race
We’re in the midst of the big awards season push with Tuesday marking the announcement of the 2018 Oscar nominations. We start with a conversation about the recent Producers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild award winners in both film and television categories. How will these winners impact the Oscar nominations and, eventually, the Emmys? Then, we run through a quick preview of our Oscar predictions.
But first, we talk about the premiere of The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story. Now that we’ve all seen it, what’s the general consensus around the Water Cooler? Is this a major Emmy player or does it pale in comparison to last year’s O.J. Simpson entry? Or is it both?
