Photos from the 2021 Creative Arts Emmy ceremonies

And last weekend's Emmy goes to... here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, September 18!

Tonight's Top Pick is the televised broadcast of the 2021 Creative Arts Emmys (FXX, 8 p.m.), which took place last weekend and spanned three ceremonies. Instead of airing a combined five-and-a-half-ish ceremony, the televised version is cut to two-and-a-half-hours, plus commercials. The ceremony includes awards for guest acting, animation, editing, stunts, casting, cinematography, sound, choreography, graphics, makeup, and more. It is unknown what awards will make the TV cut. The big Emmy ceremony is Sunday. There will be a live thread.

Elsewhere, 48 Hours kicks off season 35 with only an hour-long episode, Gillian Jacobs has a kid who is terrorized by Larry, the Meerkat dating scene isn't ideal, Side Hustlers help Munchy, Yukimaru wants to save FenaBlack Clover finds a mother killer, and Decades visits The Prisoner.
