The Television Academy is hosting the 75th annual Emmy Awards on Sunday, September 15. While many are looking forward to the night, with father-and-son duo Dan and Eugene Levy set to host, some may not be aware that there are actually two nights of events. Due to the numerous television shows, series, and categories to consider, the organization also hosts the Creative Arts Emmys, which took place on September 7, in addition to the Primetime Emmys that everyone tunes in to watch.
According to the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences website, the academy “is dedicated to the advancement of the arts and sciences of television and the promotion of creative leadership for artistic, educational and technical achievements within the television industry. It recognizes excellence in television with the coveted Emmy® Award.”
To clarify the difference between the two events, HollywoodLife has gathered some information to help you better understand each show.
