What's On Tonight (Saturday): Creative award show

Creative Arts Emmy Awards

Happy days are here again! Here's what's on television for tonight, Saturday, January 13!

Our Top Pick tonight is 75th Creative Arts Emmy Awards (FXX, 8 p.m.). This condensed televised version of the combined 5+-hour, 2-ceremony Creative Arts Ceremony will present the major categories and top winners. Not all 90ish categories — in everything from stunts and cinematography to music and casting — will be televised. For spoilers: the Carpool Karaoke reign finally ends, Barack Obama repeated, the Tucci gang is retained, Queer Eye 6-peats, RuPaul 8-peats, and acting vets Nick Offerman, Judith Light, and Jasmine Guy get the E. The Last of Us does really well.

Elsewhere, the Ghost and Molly McGee must save the world, Naruto bonds, big sportsballs goes to Peacock, Buddy finds the end of his Dynasty, and ACL Honors John Prine

(All times are Eastern. All listings are new unless otherwise stated. For more listings, visit The Futon Critic or Zap2it.)
