The Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremonies come ahead of the 75th Primetime Emmy’s. The show is usually slated for September, but it was delayed due to the historic WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes back in 2023.
The ceremonies are a part of a larger class of Emmys that are presented in recognition of technical and other achievements in television programming. The event took place over two evenings and featured a number of victorious wins for actors and television shows alike.
Guy, who is best known for her role as Whitley Gilbert in “A Different World,” won Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series for “Chronicles Of Jessica Wu,” where she plays Barbara Baldwin. This marks Guy’s very first and well-deserved Emmy win.
