Creative Arts Emmys Night 2: Julie Andrews Wins Big as 'South Park' Snaps 11-Year Losing Streak

The second evening of the Creative Arts Emmys brought massive victories, surprising snubs, and iconic Hollywood royalty to the stage. Television’s finest craft talents and top guest stars took center stage as the Television Academy continued handing out coveted gold trophies ahead of the main primetime ceremony. One of the biggest highlights belonged to legendary screen icon Dame Julie Andrews. The beloved star captured the trophy for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance for her signature narration as Lady Whistledown on *Bridgerton*. Andrews ultimately came out on top over *South Park* co-creator Trey Parker, who was nominated in the very same category for his work voicing Satan. ## Who won at Creative Arts Emmys Night 2 Even though Parker was passed over in the voice acting bracket, *South Park* still celebrated a massive comeback story. The long-running animated phenomenon, created by Parker and Matt Stone, took home the coveted award for Outstanding Animated Program following its politically charged 27th season. The victory officially snapped a decade-long drought for the animated series. Although *South Park* dominated the category with five wins between 2005 and 2013, the show had gone empty-handed through eight subsequent nominations over the last eleven years before finally returning to the winner's circle. In the dramatic acting division, Shailene Woodley locked down the evening's first acting honors. She took home Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series for her standout performance in *Paradise*. Moments later, veteran performer Ernest Harden Jr. picked up Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for his work on *The Pitt*, marking the series' very first acting Emmy of the night. ## What shows won casting awards at the Emmys The behind-the-scenes casting achievements also took center stage early in the program. *The Pitt* got its night off to a strong start by capturing Outstanding Casting in a Drama Series. In the comedy bracket, *Widow’s Bay* snatched the trophy for Outstanding Casting in a Comedy Series. Finally, *Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette* earned top honors for Outstanding Casting in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. With major stars celebrating big moments and long-standing dry spells finally coming to an end, the second night delivered plenty of excitement for TV fans everywhere.
