The following producers from Samurai Jack have officially won Emmys for Outstanding Individual Achievements in Animation:

Bryan Andrews, Storyboard Artist
Scott Wills, Production Designer
Craig Kellman, Character Designer
Lou Romano, Background Designer
The only other show to get recognition in this category was Wander Over Yonder’s Justin Nichols, Character Animator for “Wander Over Yonder: The End Of The Galaxy”. THAT’S impressive. Something tells me, that Samurai Jack won’t be just getting Emmys this year, and that it could be a great year for the series that just wrapped its run earlier this year with an outstanding fifth season.
