Paradise guest star Shailene Woodley won the first acting honor of the evening at night two the 2026 Creative Arts Emmys, which are being handed out Sunday evening at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
Woodley won the Guest Actress in a Drama Emmy for her turn as Annie Clay in Season 2 of Hulu’s Paradise. Annie is a tour guide at Graceland who survives the event known as “The Day” by hunkering down in Elvis Presley’s bunker.
Annie eventually emerges to meet a fellow group of survivors and eventually helps Xavier Brooks (Sterling K. Brown) on his path to finding his wife, Teri (Enuka Okuma), after he discovers she is alive. Annie, however, has a huge stake in the post-apocalyptic world because of her close relationship with one of the survivors.
Woodley’s Emmy win is her first in two tries. She was previously nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie for Big Little Lies in 2017.

This year’s main event is set for Monday, Sept. 14.
