Here is the press release:

The Television Academy today announced the winners of the 76th Emmy Awards in juried categories from Animation, Costume, Innovation in Emerging Media Programming and Motion Design. These juried awards will be presented at the 76th Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which will take place at the Peacock Theater at L.A. LIVE over two consecutive nights, Saturday, Sept. 7, and Sunday, Sept. 8. An edited presentation will air Saturday, Sept. 14, at 8:00 PM PDT on FXX.

Juried category entrants are screened by a panel of professionals in the appropriate peer groups (Animation, Costume Design, Emerging Media Programming, and Motion and Title Design) with the possibility of one, more than one or no entry awarded an Emmy. As a result, 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.
