Other notable winners included Shailene Woodley for her performance in Paradise and David Harbour for his role in DTF St. Louis.

In addition to the major series wins, the animated show South Park received its fifth Emmy for best animated series, marking its first victory since 2013. The Dutch makeup artist Arjen Tuiten was also recognized, earning an award for his contribution to the series The Pitt. These Creative Arts Emmys serve as a precursor to the main Emmy Awards ceremony scheduled to take place next week.
