Article Summary

  • Primal scores two 2026 Emmy wins for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation, leading the juried honors.
  • Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal won for David Krentz’s storyboard work and Scott Wills’ art direction on Adult Swim.
  • The Mighty Nein, Eyes of Wakanda, and Star Wars: Visions also earned Emmy wins in the animation juried category.
  • The Television Academy will present the animation winners during the Creative Arts Emmys on September 5 and 6.

Before NBC's Law & Order: SVU star/EP Mariska Hargitay hosts the 78th Emmy Awards on September 14th, The Television Academy actually kicks off its celebration of what television has to offer the weekend prior, with the two-night 78th Emmy Awards – Creative Arts running Sept. 5th-6th. But even as Emmy voting reaches its deadline, The Television Academy has some early award winners to announce. The creative teams behind Prime Video's The Mighty Nein, Disney+'s Eyes of Wakanda and Star Wars: Visions, and Adult Swim's Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal, have a whole lot to be smiling about: each of those shows is an Emmy Award winner in the juried category of Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation. In juried categories, potential award recipients are screened by a panel of professionals from their peer group, and more than one winner (or no winners) may be selected in the category.
