OUTSTANDING CHOREOGRAPHY (DANCE/STUNT)

Jamaica Craft for P-Valley

Marguerite Derricks for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel

Christopher Gattelli for Schmigadoon!

Rowley Irlam for House of the Dragon

Amy Wright for The Boys

AND THE WINNER IS:

CHRISTOPHER GATTELLI FOR SCHMIGADOON!

This is the second (consecutive) win and third nomination for Christopher Gattelli. He previously was nominated for Schmigadoon (2022).

Yet again I couldn't help myself but want to award the choreography work on AppleTV+'s Schmigadoon!. Gattelli truly created some iconic dance routines this year with the standout being the "Bells and Whistels" number. The number was a showcase for Krakowski and I'm sure the two worked together so extememely well to make for an incredible dance number. No one did better than Christopher this year and I hope we get more Schmigadoon! to highlight his work especially.

OUTSTANDING VOICEOVER PERFORMANCE

Tituss Burgess as Cole Tillerman for (“Lunar Palaver”) in “CENTRAL PARK”

AND THE WINNER IS:

LESLIE ODOM JR. AS OWEN TILLERMAN FOR ("A STAR IS OWEN") IN "CENTRAL PARK"

This is the first win and nomination for Leslie Odom Jr.

Leslie Odom Jr. has been such a great performing on Central Park for three seasons now and what he does so wonderfully on the show is provide a great acted and sung performance all at the same time. In the third season premiere Odom performed at his series best with some wonderful sung musical numbers and some brilliantly delivered dialogue scenes. It is impressive how effective Leslie is in his voiceover performance and I for one adore whenever I head Odom's smooth voiceover work.

OUTSTANDING HAIRSTYLING FOR A SERIES, MINISERIES OR MOVIE

The Crown (“The System”)

George & Tammy (“Stand By Your Man”)

The Great (“Choose Your Weapon”)

Poker Face (“Dead Man's Hand”)

Schmigadoon! (“Something Real”)

AND THE WINNER IS:

THE CROWN ("THE SYSTEM")

This is the first win and second nomination for the hairstyling team for The Crown.

Simply for recreating he iconic Diana 90's hairstyle I had to award the hairstyling team for their work this season of The Crown. Sure there were other great hairstyling moments on the series but truly everything they did with Diana was exactly what it needed to be and worthy of a hairstyling prize.

OUTSTANDING EDITING FOR A SERIES, MINISERIES OR MOVIE

Skip Macdonald for (“Saul Gone”), Better Call Saul

Timothy A. Good for (“When You're Lost in the Darkness”), The Last of Us

Andrew Fitzgerald for (“The Fielder Method”), The Rehearsal

Ken Eluto for (“The Munsters”), Succession

AND THE WINNER IS:

ISAAC HAGU & KYLE REITER FOR ("THE GOOF WHO SAT BY THE DOOR"), ATLANTA

These are the first wins for Isaac Hagy & Kyle Reiter. Kyle Reiter was previously nominated for Atlanta (2018).

While it is sad Atlanta as a series has now completed I am thankful for this season because it gave us this incredible documentary spoof episode. This truly was a special episode and stands out among many of the best episodes of the series. What I appreciated most about the editing of this episode is how the mocumentary style carried throughout entire episode and kept my attention. There were so many incredible reveals throughout the episode and I for one recommend anyone watch the episode even if you are not sure about tuning into the entirty of the Atlanta series.

Glenn Weiss for Oscars

Glenn Weiss for 75th Annual Tony Awards

AND THE WINNER IS:

BRIDGET STOKES FOR A BLACK LADY SKETCH SHOW

This is the second win and nomination for the Bridget Stokes. She won this category last year for directing A Black Lady Sketch Show (2022).

Yet again I find myself awarding the directing for A Black Lady Sketch Show and truly no matter how episodes or seasons I watch I constantly find myself impressed by the directional choices made by the team behind the sketches every year. I could watch the episodes so regularly and always find myself chuckling.

OUTSTANDING VARIETY SERIES/SPECIAL

29th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards

75th Tony Awards

A Black Lady Sketch Show

Inside Amy Schumer

Ziwe

AND THE WINNER IS:

ZIWE

This is the second win and nomination for Ziwe in this category.

It saddens me that due to the cancellation of Ziwe this past year this is my last opportunity to award Ziwe the show. Yet again I was impressed by the string of episodes this year and it only felt right to award the series for it's quality but also as a great parting gift to a show ended far too soon.
