At the second-night of this year's Creative Arts Emmy Awards, shows such as "Stranger Things" and "Westworld" ruled the roost with five awards each.

Gerald McRaney received the best drama guest actor trophy for his role of Dr Nathan Katowski on "This Is Us".
In his acceptance speech, the actor thanked, "Dan Fogelman for writing such beautiful show, Ken Olin for directing the episode of which I was nominated and the entire cast of this show who in so many ways make me better, especially Milo (Ventimiglia) and Mandy (Moore) who are simultaneously my colleagues and my masters."
The Creative Arts Emmy for guest drama actress was bagged by Alexis Bledel for dystopian drama "The Handmaid's Tale", who paid her tributes to her castmates Elisabeth Moss, Ann Dowd and the writer of the show, Bruce Miller.
In a backstage conversation, the actor who plays Ofglen on the Hulu series, said, "It's really an incredible thing when we are sparking conversation and it's thought-provoking to stand out in this way."
