\n\tDavid Harbour<\/a> became a first-time Emmy winner on Night 2 of the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys<\/a>. The DTF St. Louis<\/a> star won for best supporting actor in a limited or anthology series or movie for his portrayal of Floyd Smernitch in the HBO dark comedy created by Steven Conrad.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI can\u2019t believe that you\u2019ve embraced our show so much, this beautiful, vulnerable, weird show that I love so much,\u201d Harbour said in his acceptance speech. \u201cIn terms of my fellow nominees, it was not a fair fight. I got to play Floyd Smernitch, who is an incredibly written character by a genius named Steve Conrad, who, in a world of a copy of a copy of a copy, is a true original. I want to thank everybody at HBO for your tons of notes. They honestly helped the show so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHarbour was up against DTF St. Louis co-stars Richard Jenkins<\/a> and Jason Bateman<\/a> in the supporting actor category, as well as Richard Gadd<\/a> for Half Man<\/a>, Charles Melton<\/a> for season two of Beef<\/a> and Nick Offerman<\/a> for Death by Lightning<\/a>. Harbour was previously nominated in the same category for his role as Jim Hopper in Stranger Things in 2017 and 2018.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI started Stranger Things when I was 40,\u201d Harbour said backstage. \u201cI\u2019ve been acting professionally \u2014 I mean, my first job, I was 19; I was paid $50 a week at a theater in Maine \u2014 so I\u2019ve been acting professionally for 20 years before Stranger Things, so I sort of knew what life was as a working actor. And then I had this huge, as you say, success and was sort of catapulted into this different world. But I always knew that if nothing came after, I could still work in the way that I know how to work. And I had a different relationship to the fame, had I been like 19. That would be, I think, much scarier. And in that way, DTF was something that Steve and I developed together four years ago. So I was well aware of that big crunch coming at the end and I wanted to hedge my bets with trying to find material and people to work with that I admired over the years and people I thought were really brilliant and would push me in the ways that I wanted to be pushed because I do feel like Stranger Things is an incredible show, wonderful, and I had a lot more in me that I\u2019d like to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDTF St. Louis received a total of 13 Emmy nominations this year, winning six for best writing and directing (Conrad), picture editing, cinematography and supporting actor in a limited or anthology series or movie. Linda Cardellini<\/a> also won for best supporting actress in a limited series against co-star Joy Sunday<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis marks the first year that the awards<\/a> for supporting actor and actress in a limited series or movie were announced during the Creative Arts Emmys<\/a> ceremonies instead of the main telecast. The Television Academy announced in July that both categories, along with writing for a variety series and writing and directing for a limited series or movie, would move from the broadcast show, stating in a memo<\/a>, \u201cGiven the extraordinary breadth of work recognized each year and the limited time available within a three-hour broadcast, a select number of categories will be moving to the Emmy ceremonies taking place the week prior to the telecast.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2026 Creative Arts Emmy Awards<\/a> were held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday, Sept. 5, and Sunday, Sept. 6.\u00a0See the winners from Night 1 of the Creative Arts Emmys<\/a> here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
