Brie Larson wins her first Emmy during Night 4 of the Creative Arts Emmys

Four years after winning her Best Actress Oscar for her stirring performance in Room, Brie Larson has won her first Emmy for an innovative VR experience.

Larson, 30, won Outstanding Interactive Program for Oculus’ The Messy Truth VR Experience, which she produced with Van Jones, Jana Carter and her boyfriend Elijah Allan-Blitz, who also directed the program.

The Captain Marvel’s Emmy win was one of the many highlights during Night 4 of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards, including Trent Reznor’s first Emmy win, putting him just one Tony Award shy of the coveted EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony) win.

While Larson didn’t deliver the acceptance speech, she did take to Twitter to share a video of her and Allan-Blitz, expressing her thanks for the Emmy win.

‘My favorite part of this years #Emmys? That we are safe at home. My second favorite part? Being barefoot. And last? #TheMessyTruth won, and so did empathy. Thank you to everyone who voted, we are honored,’ Larson said in the caption. 

In the video itself, both Larson and Allan Blitz cheered from their couch, as an overwhelmed Larson said, ‘Thank you so much!’

Allan Blitz added, ‘To the Television Academy, to everyone who has supported this for so long… oh my God.’

Larson chimed in, ‘We’re so incredibly grateful, thank you! We hope this brings some momentum and life to this project so that we can bring this out to the world so that we can equally distribute this technology and this incredible project that Elijah has created with Van, so thank you!’  

Allan Blitz went on to thank more collaborators like Hutch Parker and the team at RYOT and his family, adding, ‘This is so crazy! This all started with a phone call! Van and I were like, how can we use technology to bring us closer together?’

Larson added, ‘This is so crazy. We have ascended. We’re gonna celebrate. Bye!’

The Messy Truth VR Experience features several episodes where people can step into situations they normally wouldn’t find themselves in.

The first episode stars Winston Duke (Black Panther) as a Black man being pulled over by the police with Larson featured in the second episode about sexual harassment.

In other Creative Arts Emmy news, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross won their first Emmy for Outstanding Music Composition for A Limited Series, Movie Or Special (Original Dramatic Score).

The duo beat out Nathan Barr for Netflix’s Hollywood, Mark Isham and Isabelle Summers for Hulu’s Little Fires Everywhere, Antonio Gambale for Netflix’s Unorthodox and Kris Bowers for Mrs. America.

The Emmy win puts Reznor and Ross just one step closer to the EGOT, following their Oscar win for Best Original Score for The Social Network and their Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media for The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. 

Other highlights from Night 4 of the Creative Arts Emmys included Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s second Emmy win for Outstanding Innovation in Interactive Programming for his HitRecord platform’s Create Together initiative on YouTube.

The Project Power star had previously won in 2014 for Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media – Social TV Experience for HitRecord on TV.

Quibi’s #FreeRayshawn picked up two Emmys, one for Laurence Fishburne for Oustanding Actor in a Short Form Drama or Comedy Series and one for Jasmine Cephas Jones for Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Drama or Comedy Series.

Other key wins were Eddie Perez for Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Comedy or Variety Program for Shameless and Labirinth winning Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for All For Us from the Euphoria season finale And the Salt Of The Earth Behind You.

The fifth and final night of the Creative Arts Emmys takes place Saturday, September 19, before the Primetime Emmys telecast on Sunday, September 20.
