Riot Games and Fortiche Productions’ Arcane won the Outstanding Animated Program award at the 77th Creative Arts Emmy Awards this weekend in Los Angeles.

The unstoppable League of Legends-inspired series earned the award for its season two episode “The Dirt Under Your Nails,” securing a second victory in the category after making history in 2022 as the first streaming show to claim the honor.

Arcane also picked up the Emmy for Outstanding Sound Editing for an Animated Program on Saturday evening, with recognition going to Brad Beaumont, Eliot Connors, Stephen P. Robinson, Janet Pascual, Dan O’Connell, and John T. Cucci. This was also a repeat performance for the show, which won the sound editing honor in 2022 for the episode “When These Walls Come Tumbling Down.” This year’s win underscores, once again, that there is far more to the hit series than its distinctive visual aesthetic and engaging narrative, including top-tier technical execution by teams all throughout its pipeline.

These latest honors cap off a strong awards year for Arcane. Earlier this summer, the series was honored at the juried Emmys with two Individual Achievement in Animation awards. Bruno Couchinho was recognized for background design in “The Dirt Under Your Nails,” while Faustine Dumontier was recognized for color in the episode “The Message Hidden Within the Pattern.” [...] (emphasis added)
