Fey's work on Saturday Night Live won a Creative Arts Emmy—these honor guest spots and technical achievements, preceding next week's main ceremony—for best guest actress in a comedy series. Fey could win again next week: She's up for best actress for her role on 30 Rock. Also notable tonight: Justin Timberlake became the first SNL host to win for best guest actor in a comedy series.
