As a consequence, there are no nominees, but instead a one-step evaluation and voting procedure. Deliberations include open discussions of each entrant's work, with a thorough review of the merits of awarding the Emmy. After each deliberation, the jury considers the question, "Is this entry worthy of an Emmy award – yea or nay?" Only those with unanimous approval win. The 2017 Creative Arts Emmy Awards, executive-produced by Bob Bain, will be held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles beginning at 5:00 PM PT each evening. FXX will broadcast the awards on Saturday, September 16 at 8:00 PM ET/PT. # # # Contact: Stephanie Goodell Breakwhitelight (for the Television Academy) [email protected] (818) 462-1150 .
