Big "Little Dorrit" Emmy Wins
Masterpiece Executive Producer Rebecca Eaton had much to be happy about after "Little Dorrit" hit it big at the Primetime Emmy Awards. The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences gave the Charles Dickens drama a total of seven statues including one for Outstanding Miniseries. "Dorrit" screenwriter Andrew Davies and director Dearbhla Walsh were also honored during Sunday's televised event.
Four additional awards went to the Masterpiece production during the “Creative Arts” ceremony held last week: Outstanding Art Direction, Casting, Costumes and Cinematography for a Miniseries, Movie or Special.
But it wasn't all Dickens at the Primetime Emmys. American Masters was chosen as the Outstanding Nonfiction Series, and John Williams’ composition for Great Performances got the nod for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme Music.
