On Sunday (Sept. 15) the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences presented the Creative Arts Emmys, which are largely dedicated to technical disciplines and the behind-the-scenes trades that are essential to television production.
CalArts alumnus Robert Barnhart (Theater BFA 87) won the Emmy for Outstanding Lighting Design | Lighting Direction For A Variety Special – 2013—as part of a team that created the design for the Super Bowl XLVII Halftime Show Starring Beyoncé (CBS and the NFL Network). Earning the award alongside lighting director Barnhart were lighting designer Al Gordon and fellow directors Dave Grill and Michael Owen.
Out of the six nominated programs in the category, Barnhart was nominated for two other shows—Andrea Bocelli: Love In Portofino (Great Performances) for PBS and The Oscars telecast on ABC.
For the first time, the new FXX channel airs the the 2013 Creative Arts Emmy Awards at 9 pm ET/PT on Saturday (Sept. 21), the evening before the 65th Primetime Emmy Awards are broadcast live at 5 pm PT and 8 pm ET from Los Angeles.
