With all eyes on the major Emmy nominees in star-studded contests, let’s not forget that well over 40 familiar faces are popping up in lesser-publicized categories. Most of these winners will be announced at the Creative Arts Emmys in two separate ceremonies on September 14 and 15, a week before the primetime telecast on September 22. Check out the complete list of nominations here.
The Best Narrator category is filled with stars, including Emmy mainstays Sir David Attenborough (“Our Planet”), Angela Bassett (“The Flood”), Charles Dance (“Savage Kingdom”) and Liev Schreiber (“The Many Lives of Nick Buoniconti”). First-time nominees Juliet Stevenson (“Queens of Mystery”) and Anthony Mendez (“Wonders of Mexico”) round out the contenders. Attenborough is the reigning champion in the category, having prevailed last year for narrating the nature doc “Blue Planet II.”

The number of eligible contenders in the short-form categories at this year’s Emmy Awards has been cut drastically following the Television Academy’s introduction of anonymous panels tasked with determining if entries are competitive enough to warrant Emmy consideration.
Last year, 50 different shows made the ballot in the Outstanding Short Form Comedy or Drama Series category at the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards. This year, though, that number was cut to 30.
The Outstanding Short Form Variety Series category, meanwhile, fell from 26 nominees to only 14. (Academy rules say that any category that does not field at least 14 nominees in consecutive years can be eliminated.)
And the Outstanding Short Form Nonfiction or Reality Series category dropped from 64 nominees last year to 47 this year.
