The awards for Best Guest Actor and Actress in a Drama Series at the Creative Arts Emmys of 2023 were received by Nick Offerman and Storm Reid. The awards event took place on Saturday night. 

Both Offerman and Reid bagged awards for their performance as a guest star in The Last of Us. Offerman competed with Murray Bartlett, Keivonn Montreal and Lamar Johnson also for The Last of Us, and James Cromwell and Arian Moayed for Succession.

Reid, on the other hand, contended alongside Hiam Abbass, Cherry Jones, Harriet Walter, Melanie Lynskey for Succession, and Anna Torv for The Last of Us. 

Ernie Hudson presented the award to Reid, who was in tears when she lifted the trophy. She said, "I’m such a mess. 30 seconds is just not enough time! This is proof you can do anything. I’m just a young girl from Atlanta, Georgia,” while accepting her first Emmy Award and nomination.

Offerman, on the other hand, said, “Fortune presents gifts not according to the book. We would not be doing anything but standing around with our thumbs up our asses if (showrunner) Craig Mazin hadn’t written the most beautiful script I’ve ever been handed.” He further thanked co-star and fellow nominee  Murray Bartlett. Offerman has been nominated four times for an Emmy, but this win marks his first award. 

The Last of Us landed 24 nominations at this year's Emmys, out of which the show won eight awards, making its way to the most number of awards won. Stars Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey won awards for their lead performance on the show, along with the award for the Outstanding Drama Series.
