"Broken Bow" and "Two Days and Two Nights" earned Enterprise its first two Emmy awards, in Special Visual Effects and Hairstyling, respectively.

The 54th Annual Creative Arts Emmy Awards, honoring television's top talent behind the camera, were presented Saturday night at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Enterprise had garnered five nominations in four categories (see related story).

The show was nominated twice in Outstanding Special Visual Effects For A Series. The pilot "Broken Bow" beat out the comet epic "Breaking the Ice" in that category. It also defeated the Smallville pilot and two Stargate SG-1 episodes.

In the category Outstanding Hairstyling For A Series, the Risan vacation episode triumphed over Alias, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Sex and the City and Six Feet Under.

"Broken Bow" was also nominated in Outstanding Makeup For A Series (Prosthetic) and Outstanding Sound Editing For A Series. It lost to Six Feet Under in Makeup and Smallville in Sound Editing.

The Visual Effects award was accepted by Dan Curry on behalf of his team of computer graphics animators, compositors and other wizards. Michael Moore accepted the Hairstyling trophy on behalf of his team of special-effects hair experts. They both thanked series creators Rick Berman and Brannon Braga and noted the importance of the group effort behind these honors. The complete list of names attributed to the awards appears below.

This is the second Emmy in a row for Curry and his visual effects team — in fact, for back-to-back episodes. At last year's ceremony they won for the Star Trek: Voyager finale "Endgame." Curry has accumulated a total of six Emmys. This is the fourth for visual effects supervisor Ronald B. Moore.

As for Michael Moore, this was his first Emmy win, following two previous nominations for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and Buffy. The experience of the evening was "draining," the hair designer said. "It was such a great moment, that it's hard to describe. It's now Tuesday morning and I feel like I have an Emmy hangover!"

Another winner Saturday night was Star Trek alumni Pamela Segall Adlon, in Voiceover Performance for her voice characterizations in King of the Hill. She played "Oji" in "Who Watches The Watchers?" (Star Trek: The Next Generation).

Highlights of the four-hour Creative Arts ceremony will be shown in a two-hour telecast on E! Entertainment Television this Saturday, September 21, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern and Pacific (check your local listings).

The main Primetime Emmy Awards will take place the following night, Sunday, and will be broadcast on NBC at 8:00 Eastern and Pacific. Star Trek alumni vying for honors that night include usual suspects Kelsey Grammer (TNG's "Cause and Effect") and Kim Cattrall ("Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country"). John Larroquette ("Star Trek III: The Search for Spock") was up for a Guest Actor award Saturday night, but lost to Charles S. Dutton.
