The 2024 Creative Arts Emmy Awards have wrapped up, and this year’s show has been nothing short of a blockbuster. FX’s sumptuous period drama Shōgun has stormed the Emmys like a samurai on a mission, with 25 nominations and 14 wins, making it the unstoppable force of this year’s TV awards.
And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, enter Dick Van Dyke! This living legend has waltzed into the history books as the oldest Creative Arts Emmy winner ever, making history as he nears his 99th birthday.
Shōgun Sets a New Record at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards
It’s official: Shōgun is the name on everyone’s lips after the 2024 Creative Arts Emmys. FX’s grand Japanese drama has not only wowed audiences but also swept the awards with a staggering 14 wins.
This year’s Emmy tally hit a new high with Shōgun leading the way, proving that samurai are now TV’s biggest heroes. With 25 nominations, including Best Drama, Shōgun showed its strength in every category. From Hiroyuki Sanada’s nod for Best Dramatic Actor to Néstor Carbonell’s for Best Guest Actor, the show proved it’s a powerhouse across the board.
The show took almost ten years to finally hit the screens! And it’s not just any historical epic—it’s a major win for Asian representation on TV, especially after the big hit that was Squid Game. Shōgun dives into the intense world of samurai and political drama in Feudal Japan, but with a modern twist that’s seriously jaw-dropping. The production values are out of this world!
With its sweeping cinematography, intricate costume design, and a score that could make anyone’s heart race, it’s no wonder the show dominated the Creative Arts Emmys. This win not only raises the bar for TV dramas but also hints at even more exciting seasons ahead.
Dick Van Dyke’s Timeless Victory Shines at the Emmys
You won’t believe this—Dick Van Dyke just made history in the most delightful way! At 98 years old, he’s now the oldest winner of a Creative Arts Emmy. Can you imagine? He won for his special, Dick Van Dyke: 98 Years of Magic.
The actor has been making us laugh for over seventy years, and he’s still dancing his way into our hearts and the record books. How amazing is that? When Van Dyke accepted his Emmy, he was as charming as ever, cracking jokes and twirling around on stage, proving that age really is just a number.
With this Emmy win, he joins Norman Lear, who previously held the record at the same age. Van Dyke’s career has been nothing short of iconic, from Mary Poppins to The Dick Van Dyke Show. He’s even joked (via Deadline) about snagging an Oscar “posthumously,” but for now, this Emmy is a glowing tribute to a career that’s still shining brightly.
This award marks the movie mogul’s 7th Emmy. He’s previously snagged 4 Primetime Emmys and 2 Daytime Emmys, and now he’s added a Creative Arts Emmy to his collection.
