The 2025 Creative Arts Emmy Awards showcased the incredible range of performers who bring stories to life—not only on screen but also through voice and narration.
Among the night’s most celebrated winners was Barack Obama, who claimed his third Emmy for Outstanding Narrator with the documentary Our Oceans. His steady, authoritative delivery added both weight and warmth to the project, reinforcing why his voice has become a staple in nonfiction storytelling.
Voice acting was also honored in a big way. Maya Rudolph earned recognition for her scene-stealing role in Big Mouth, adding another accolade to her growing collection of comedy honors. Her ability to balance humor with heart once again stood out in the animated category.
On the dramatic side, guest actor and actress categories spotlighted standout performances that brought layered characters to limited screen time, proving that sometimes the briefest roles can leave the strongest impressions.
Overall, the Creative Arts Emmys offered a reminder that beyond glitzy main ceremonies, it’s often the narrators, guest stars, and voice actors who shape the stories that resonate with audiences long after the credits roll.
