Animated television was well-represented at the Creative Emmys this year, and although a lot of the nominees were undeserving in a lot of categories, the winners turned out to be pretty damn good. The Simpsons, Mickey Mouse, and Bob’s Burgers all came out winners in the end, and truth-be-told even if the awards are judged by people that probably couldn’t even tell you why they didn’t nominate Rick and Morty in any category, I’d MUCH rather take Harry Shearer over Stephen Full or Bob’s Burgers over TMNT. We’re gonna do some further analysis on the winners during the course of the week. Here are some of the major categories that animated programming was involved in but you can see a full list of winners here:
