Also, the 2022 Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony will be held in the same place Saturday, September 3rd, and Sunday, September 4. FXX will air a edited presentation September 10th.
The main telecast lineup will remain the same as last year and will feature 25 categories. There have been no major changes.
