League of Legends’ hit TV show, Arcane, received ample recognition by winning three Emmy Awards — and it’s still in the running to win more.

These will be officially presented at the 2022 Creative Arts Emmy Awards on September 3 and 4 — but Arcane is still in the running to win even more.
The recently won Juried Awards are a separate category from the Nominated Emmy Awards — where Arcane was nominated for Oustanding Animated Program and Oustanding Sound Editing for a Drama Series and Animation.

Juried Emmy Awards are vote based within the select jury, thereby having no nominations. Instead, the jury openly discusses the potential entries. More than one winner could be announced — they may even decide on none.
As for the nominated Emmy 2022 awards, there’s still some time before the winners are finalized. Therefore, Arcane is very much still in the running for more Emmys.
The production team in charge of Arcane planned extensively for years, so it’s great news for LoL fans that the Netflix Series has been getting mainstream recognition.
