Adult-skewing animation dominated the animation portion of the 2016 Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which were presented in Los Angeles over two consecutive nights, September 10 and 11.
The two key animation awards—Animated Program and Short-Form Animated Program—were presented to Archer and Robot Chicken respectively. Family Guy creator Seth Macfarlane won his second career Emmy for voice-over performance; he won his first voice-over Emmy in 2000.
Animation popped up in other categories too, including Original Interactive Program where the Oculus Rift short Henry was honored, and the User Experience and Visual Design category where Cartoon Network’s app earned recognition.
