Two Alberta-shot productions scored on Saturday at the Emmy Awards, which handed out creative arts awards to the HBO MOW Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and the AMC mini Broken Trail.

Bury My Heart won five of its 17 nominations, including a best makeup prize for Gail Kennedy, Rochelle Pomerleau and Joanne Preece, and best sound mixing for the team of George Tarrant, Rick Ash and Edward Carr. Bury My Heart also won for cinematography, picture editing and sound editing.

Broken Trail — coproduced by Nomadic Pictures in Calgary, U.S.-based Once Upon a Time Films and Butcher’s Run Films — won best casting for a mini for Wendy Weidman, Coreen Mayrs, Heike Brandstatter and Jackie Lind.

Xenophile Media, meanwhile, together with ABC Family and Double Twenty, took home the prize for best interactive TV for the Fallen Alternate Reality Game. The Toronto shop, together with Shaftesbury Films and Zinc Roe Design, won an International Emmy in the spring for their ReGenesis Extended Reality Game — based on The Movie Network/Movie Central science drama.

The Emmy Awards continue on Sunday with the primetime awards gala.
