S&P was invited back to the Creative Arts red carpet where we got to chat with some of the nominees about their work and have some fun. The temperature managed to reach 100+ degrees, so we’re pretty thankful to the friends who braved the weather to come camera side for a hello – you could say it was a bit of a challenge for us that day.
You can catch the aired event, September 22nd at 8:00pm ET/PT on REELZCHANNEL.
Today is Creative Arts Emmy day. The nominees have been congratulated and now the votes are in. This year’s winners will start to be announced at 4pm PST from inside the Nokia Theater. We’ll be live blogging from the event so if you want to follow along hit “refresh” as we’ll be updating this post continously throughout the night.

This is the last category for the Creative Arts Emmys tonight. Thank you for following along! Till next year.
+Continue Reading
These past few weeks the fantastic, hard working people over at the Emmys have been putting together some of the finest parties for this year’s nominees. Either back dropped at the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre in North Hollywood or the Christopher Guy Gallery in West Hollywood, the creatives from costume design, art directors, set directors, cinematography, picture editing, stunts, interactive media, makeup, hair styling and others came together to catch up, talk a little shop, and congratulate each other while they receive a certificate of recognition from their peers and acting governor(s).
Each Emmy category had their own evening of mingling mixed with music. The food alone was spectacular, but when followed by one of specialty drinks made by Grey Goose, the night is hard to top. Even if you’ve been to one already, if you’re in town – it’s a don’t miss occasion. This year, guests were bombarded with an infusion of Asian cuisine and desserts with decor to match.

Production mixer Darryl L. Frank, CAS, on set of Breaking Bad
Breaking Bad is one of those shows when you start watching it, you’re hooked. You’re not exactly sure why you’re hooked, and when you start to explain to your friend why they should watch it too, you end up just saying it’s awesome, watch it. Production sound mixer, Darryl L. Frank, CAS, is just one piece of the puzzle that helps make this AMC drama about a high school chemistry teacher turned criminal so compelling. Now Emmy nominated, we sat down with Darryl to talk meth, explosions and one of the more giving characters in the show – Albuquerque, New Mexico.
S&P: This isn’t your first time being nominated for an Emmy, but it is for a television series. Do you look at it any differently?
Frank: Last time I was nominated for the miniseries Comanche Moon in 2008, it was such a surprise. Now being nominated for Breaking Bad, it’s even better. It’s just a different beast. We shoot 8 day episodes and it’s grueling so it’s very rewarding to see my name up there with everyone else’s.
Mad Men was doused with 17 Emmy nominations this year, including one for Outstanding Cinematography. Created by Matt Weiner, the one-hour drama takes viewers back to the 1960s and centers around the lives of a group of advertising agents. Stepping in since the start of season two, DP Chris Manley, ASC, found some down time to let us inside one of AMC’s most sought out television series.
Chris Manley, ASC
S&P: This is your third Emmy nomination for Mad Men. Has your reaction changed over the years?
Manley: Well, the thing with Mad Men, for me, is the pilot episode was done by Phil Abraham. He eventually was nominated and won the Emmy that year. It’s very important for me to at least be nominated to feel like I’m maintaining the high standards Phil started. When I don’t get nominated, I feel like I dropped the ball somehow. On the other hand, there are so many great new beautiful shows out there. Like Boardwalk Empire. Game of Thrones. That have multiple DPs. I always expect those guys to lock up the nominations, so when any of the other shows, including ours, gets a nomination, I’m surprised.
