Oklahoman wins Emmys
Matthew Mungle, who graduated from Atoka High School in 1975, collected two Emmys at the 2008 Creative Arts Emmy Awards handed out Saturday in Los Angeles.
Neil Patrick Harris (“How I Met Your Mother”) and Sarah Chalke (“Scrubs”) co-hosted the event that mostly recognizes excellence in key technical disciplines and behind-the-scenes crafts essential to television production.
Mungle, one of Hollywood’s premiere special makeup effects artists, won Emmys for his work on Showtime’s “Tracey Ullman’s State of the Union” (outstanding makeup for a single-camera series, non-prosthetic) and HBO’s “John Adams” (outstanding prosthetic makeup for a series, miniseries, movie or special).
Mungle (pictured above) now has five Emmys to his credit, as his prosthetic creations also earned him statuettes in 2003 (TNT’s “Door to Door”), 2001 (Fox’s “The X-Files”) and 1993 (HBO’s Citizen Cohn”).
The Creative Arts Emmy ceremony was not broadcast live, but E! Entertainment had cameras rolling and will air the awards show as a two-hour special at 7 p.m. Saturday. (The 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards will air live at 7 p.m. Sunday on ABC).
