1st Astra Creative Arts TV Awards

The 1st Astra Creative Arts TV Awards, presented by the Hollywood Creative Alliance, recognized and celebrated outstanding achievements in television across various genres. The winners were announced on January 8, 2024, alongside the 3rd Astra TV Awards. The creative arts awards were created as a companion to the Astra TV Awards to reward specific technical categories as well as categories that were previously presented at the main ceremony in 2021 and 2022.

"We are thrilled to announce our inaugural Creative Arts Awards, an event dedicated to celebrating those behind the scenes who don't often get the level of recognition they deserve," states HCA President Nikki Fowler.

The nominations were announced on July 11, 2023, alongside the nominations for the 3rd Astra TV Awards. In terms of the Creative Arts TV Awards, The Last of Us led the nominations with six, followed by The Boys, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Saturday Night Live (all with five each). Channelwise, HBO led the nominations with 22, followed by Netflix with 17; ABC and Prime Video both received 16 each. This year, the Astra TV Awards spread across 25 Broadcast and Cable, 22 Streaming, and 26 Creative Arts categories.
