Experts slugfest: Our 2023 Creative Arts Emmys winner predictions and Best Picture update
It’s 2024, but it’s still 2023 when it comes to the Primetime Emmy Awards. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to make their winner picks for the Creative Arts Emmys.
After a three-month delay due to the writers’ and actors’ strikes, the Emmys are finally upon us. The Creative Arts ceremonies will take place on Saturday, Jan. 6 (scripted fare) and Sunday, Jan. 7 (unscripted fare), the latter being the same day as the Golden Globes, of course. Voting took place in August, so nothing that’s happened in the last three months will impact the results, like, say, Mayim Bialik, the odds-on favorite to win Best Game Show Host, departing “Jeopardy!” last month.

With “The White Lotus” shifting to drama from limited, it’ll face off against its HBO brethren “Succession” for the first time, not to mention breakout hit “The Last of Us” in multiple categories, including casting, which the Mike White series won in limited in 2022. Can “Succession” hold off both for its third win? Meanwhile, the drama guest categories are just all “Succession” and “The Last of Us” all the time. Will they each walk off with a win or will one show sweep?
Elsewhere, we discuss which guest category is most likely to see an upset and Chris explains his major Oscar change.
