OUTSTANDING MAIN TITLES DESIGN

John LePore and Doug Appleton for Hawkeye

Elastic for Only Murders in the Building

Angus Wall and Nadia Tzuo for Pachinko

Oliver Latta for Severance

Mark Bashore and Katrina Crawford for The White Lotus

AND THE WINNER IS:

ANGUS WALL AND NADIA TZUO FOR PACHINKO

This is the fourth win and sixth nomination for Angus Wall. This is the second win and nomination for Nadia Tzuo. Wall previously won in this category for Big Love (2006) & Game of Thrones (2011, 2019) and was nominated for Carnival (2004) & Rome (2006).Tzuo previously won for designing Feud: Bette and Joan (2017).

What I love most about Pachinko's opening credits is how joyful the entire sequence is which while slightly opposite to that of the general tone of the show which deals much more in the dark themes the sequence still makes sense with the series overall. Seeing these actors you love on the show dance together in this brightly coloured casino hall is so entertaining and not once when watching the series did I skip this title sequence because i was invested in it each time it aired.

(Seeing as this category marked the only Primetime Emmy nomination Pachinko received this week I will pulling hard for the show to win that category not only because I consider it the best of the year but I want the show to be an Emmy winner in anyway possible.)
