Emmy Weekend Kicks Off With Creative Arts Emmy Awards Highlights Show

It's an eclectic Saturday on television, with The Creative Arts Emmy Awards, college football, a movie with a song that's bound to get stuck inside your head, wine guzzling empty nesters, a notorious cult, and one more chance to catch Adam Sandler's terrific return to SNL last spring.

EMMYS PRE-SHOW: The main event airs tomorrow night, but a slew of Emmys honoring craft, technical achievement and guest-starring roles were handed out over two nights last weekend at the The Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Catch the highlights tonight at 8:00 PM ET on FXX
