The Netflix series 'Ojingeo Game' achieved a triple crown at the Emmy Awards, the most prestigious award in the American broadcasting industry. On the 4th (local time), the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced that actress Lee Yoo-mi won the Guest Actress Award at the 74th Creative Arts Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles (LA), USA. The Guest Actress Award is given to actors who play leading roles in individual episodes of a drama. Lee Yoo-mi, who portrayed the deeply pessimistic character Ji-yeong, triumphed over formidable nominees such as Hope Davis, Sanaa Lathan, and Harriet Walter from HBO's 'Succession,' Marcia Gay Harden from Apple TV+'s 'The Morning Show,' and Maura Kelly from HBO's 'Euphoria.'

'Ojingeo Game' also won the Stunt Performance Award (Im Tae-hoon), beating HBO's 'Barry,' NBC's 'The Blacklist,' Disney+ 'Hawkeye,' Disney+ 'Moon Knight,' and Netflix's 'Stranger Things.' The complex and unpredictable actions of the 456 participants were praised for guiding the fictional world into a reality of massive competition and social experimentation. 'Ojingeo Game' also took home the Visual Effects Award (Jung Jae-hoon), surpassing Showtime's 'The Man Who Fell to Earth,' Apple TV+'s 'The Morning Show,' TNT's 'Snowpiercer,' and Netflix's 'Vikings: Valhalla.' Computer graphics (CG) and visual special effects were handled by Gulliver Studio. Based on director Hwang Dong-hyuk's original imagination, they effectively conveyed the grotesqueness arising from the boundary between reality and a fairy-tale-like space.

In addition to these three categories, 'Ojingeo Game' was nominated for Best Theme Song, Cinematography, Editing, and Production Design at the ceremony. The Primetime Emmy Awards, which mainly focus on actors and directors, will be held on the 12th. 'Ojingeo Game' is aiming to win in seven categories including Best Drama, Best Director (Hwang Dong-hyuk), Best Screenplay (Hwang Dong-hyuk), Best Actor (Lee Jung-jae), Best Supporting Actor (Park Hae-soo, Oh Young-soo), and Best Supporting Actress (Jung Ho-yeon).
