Anthony Bourdain was posthumously awarded six Emmys last night, Variety reports. His show, Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown was nominated for exactly six Creative Arts Emmys.
Parts Unknown took home the awards for best informational series or special, writing for non-fiction program, picture editing for a non-fiction program, sound editing for a non-fiction program and sound mixing for a non-fiction program. Anthony himself won the best informational and best writing awards.
Producer Lydia Tenaglia accepted the writing award on his behalf. “Tony was nominated for this Emmy many times,” she said, per Deadline. “But it had always eluded him, the one he had always coveted so it is with tremendous bittersweetness that I accept it on his behalf…his writing was always fiercely intelligent—very real no bullsh*t."
The ceremony took place about three months after the chef died by suicide while in France filming. The final season of Parts Unknown will premiere on CNN on September 23.
