Though the Season 5 finale of Boardwalk Empire previously aired, the HBO period drama continues to be praised by critics. The final season of Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi) and Margaret Schroeder (Kelly Macdonald) brought home major wins at the 2015 Creative Arts Emmy Awards.
During the fifth and final season, the turf war between Nucky (Buscemi) and Lucky Luciano (Vincent Piazaa) has been brewing to an intense confrontation. Elsewhere, in Chicago, the FBI is gathering evidence against Al Capone (Stephen Graham) for tax evasion. While double-crosses are being made, Nucky races against the clock as he attempts to escape from his criminal lifestyle before Luciano and his trigger-happy henchmen come crashing through his door
As we mentioned before, Golden Days For Boys And Girls earned its nods for Outstanding Cinematography For A Single-Camera Series and Outstanding Costumes For A Period/Fantasy Series, Limited Series Or Movie. The episodes, Golden Days For Boys And Girls, Friendless Child, and Eldorado, are nominated for Outstanding Production Design For A Narrative Period Program (One Hour Or More).
According to Entertainment Weekly, Boardwalk Empire took home the awards for Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Period Program (One Hour or More) and Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series.
In our MStars interview with 4 time Emmy winner, production designer Bill Groom discussed being nominated for the final season, "Well, you know I'm working with the same people right now. I'm working on this project called Vinyl. I would say more than half the people on the staff here were on Boardwalk Empire. It's the same producer/writer Terrence Winter, Martin Scorsese, and it's Mick Jagger. Bittersweet...yes but there's a sense of accomplishment when you finish something, like a whole series. That's how I feel about most projects. Once they're finished, there's a sense of completion, which is good."
The 2015 Creative Arts Emmy Awards will be telecast Sept. 19 on FXX. Andy Samberg (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) will host the Emmy Awards on September 20, 2015.
