"One of the best TV programs of the season just received an Emmy, and nobody who watches this Sunday's telecast is going to know about it. Rebel Ridge, the crackling action thriller from director Jeremy Saulnier, won the Outstanding TV Movie Emmy at the Creative Arts Emmys, where the award for that category has been presented since 2020. Held one week before the main Emmys broadcast, the two-day Creative Arts ceremony celebrates achievements in more than 95 categories that include sound, cinematography, and casting."
"A prerecorded ceremony airing on cable is a far cry from where the TV Movie category stood just 12 years ago, when Claire Danes and Bryan Cranston presented two of the most anticipated awards of the 2013 Emmys season to Steven Soderbergh's Behind the Candelabra and Michael Douglas for his lead performance in it as Liberace. There was little doubt the award, which was then given for "Outstanding Miniseries or Movie," would go this way."
"Soderbergh and Douglas (as well as fellow Lead Actor nominee Matt Damon) were Oscar winners and Hollywood A-listers representing an acclaimed TV movie that HBO had given a substantial push. It was yet another big night in what had been a series of them: For the previous 20 years HBO's TV movies had dominated at the Emmys, winning 65 major awards over that span."
Rebel Ridge won the Outstanding TV Movie Emmy at the Creative Arts Emmys, an award presented since 2020. The Creative Arts ceremony occurs one week before the main Emmys and honors achievements across more than 95 technical and creative categories. The ceremony was prerecorded and will be shown in condensed form on FXX and Hulu, reducing the visibility of the TV Movie category. Twelve years earlier, high-profile presentations of TV movie awards reflected greater prominence and industry attention. For two decades HBO's TV movies dominated Emmy competition, winning 65 major awards and producing acclaimed films like Don King: Only in America, Recount, and Temple Grandin.
