LOS ANGELES -- Netflix's Making a Murderer and Fox's Grease Live dominated the second night of the Creative Arts Emmys, each nabbing four wins in their respective categories.

The roughly two-hour-long awards show -- which for the first time was divided into two nights -- highlights entertainment industry folks who work tirelessly behind-the-scenes.

It's like "the junior prom" of the TV world, Jane Lynch joked.
