Netflix’s “Blue Eye Samurai” tops the list of winners in the jury categories at the 76th Emmy Awards, the Television Academy announced Wednesday.
The animated series will win the award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Character Design, Production Design and Storyboard at the Creative Arts Emmys, which will be held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 7 and 8. An abridged version will air on FXX on September 14 at 8 p.m. PT.
Other winners in the jury categories of animation, costume, innovation in new media programming and motion design include Max’s “Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake,” Max’s “Clone High,” an immersive experience for “What If?” on Disney+ and the Disney+ documentary “Jim Henson Idea Man.”
The winners of each category are chosen by a jury made up of experts from the respective specialist areas (animation, costume design, emerging media programming, and motion and title design). There can be no or several winners per category.
No nominees are announced in advance. Instead, a one-stage judging and voting process is used. Deliberations include discussions of each entrant’s work and an evaluation of merit for the Emmy award.
