First-time winners, including Judith Light, clean up at Creative Arts Emmys

Judith Light poses with the award for outstanding guest actress in a comedy series during night one of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards on Saturday at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Judith Light from “Poker Face” and Nick Offerman and Storm Reid from “The Last of Us” were winners at Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmy Awards on a night when the theme was first-time Emmys for actors of all ages. Offerman praised “The Last of Us” for its “decency and inclusivity” and Reid said she was grateful for its “representation of young, queer Black women.” Sam Richardson, 39, won his own first Emmy for playing a billionaire soccer enthusiast from Ghana on “Ted Lasso,” the Apple TV+ series that is the year’s most nominated comedy with 21 nods. Another 1980s and ’90s sitcom star, Jasmine Guy of “A Different World,” won her first Emmy on Saturday, for best actress in a short-form comedy or drama series for “ Chronicles Of Jessica Wu.” Tim Robinson won the same award on the actors’ side for “I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson.” It’s his second Emmy for performing on the Netflix show. “It’ll pay off eventually.” When the Creative Arts Emmys continue Sunday, nominees will include former President Obama, Michelle Obama and Oprah Winfrey.
