THE MASKED SINGER, THE TRAITORS Win Juried Emmys for Costume Design

The Television Academy has announced the juried winners of the 78th Emmy Awards in the categories of Animation, Costume and Innovation in Emerging Media Programming. The honors will be presented during the first two nights of the Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theater at L.A. LIVE, with an edited version of those ceremonies set to air on FXX. Unlike competitive categories, juried awards are decided by panels of professionals in Costume Design, Animation, Emerging Media Programming, and Motion and Title Design, who evaluate entrants without a formal nominee list and determine whether one, multiple or no entries merit an Emmy.

These juried awards will be presented over the first two nights of the 78th Emmy Awards, taking place at the Peacock Theater at L.A. LIVE Saturday, Sept. 5, and Sunday, Sept. 6. An edited presentation of these first two nights of Emmy ceremonies will air Saturday, Sept. 12, at 8:00 PM ET/PT on FXX.

Juried category entrants are screened by a panel of professionals in the appropriate peer groups (Animation, Costume Design, Emerging Media Programming, and Motion and Title Design) with the possibility of one, more than one or no entry awarded an Emmy. As a result, there are no nominees but instead a one-step evaluation and voting procedure. Deliberations include open discussions of each entrant's work with a thorough review of the merits of awarding the Emmy.
