The Creative Arts Emmys, a preliminary Emmy ballot dedicated to so-called “technical categories,” awarded Ed Sheeran his first Emmy on Saturday night (6/1), for best original television music of 2023.
Sheeran was honored for the song “A Beautiful Game,” featured in the third-season finale of “Ted Lasso.” The artist, who was not present in Los Angeles to accept the award, competed with songs from the series “Ginny & Georgia”, “The L Word: Generation Q”, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”, another song from ” Ted Lasso” and the television movie “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story”.
The award honors a song or soundtrack created specifically for a television program. Last year’s winner was Cinco Paul, who wrote original material for “Schmigadoon!”

The series “Ted Lasso” also won the trophy for Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for Sam Richardson. The Apple TV+ comedy is a hit at the Emmys, racking up 61 total nominations and 13 wins to date.
The Creative Arts ceremony takes place over two days, with a new wave of awards on Sunday (7/1), totaling nearly 100 (mostly technical) trophies ahead of the telecast of the so-called Primetime Emmys, scheduled for January 15th.
