The Outstanding Innovation in Emerging Media Programming award went to "Crafting Crimes" for Meta Quest. No Emmy was awarded in the Outstanding Motion Design category. The juried awards will be presented during the first two nights of the 78th Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live on September 5 and 6. An edited presentation of the ceremonies will air on FXX on September 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT and stream on Hulu the following day.
