Anthony Bourdain received six posthumous Emmy awards Sunday for his CNN show Parts Unknown and its digital spinoff.

Bourdain died by suicide in June, at age 61. Parts Unknown was up for six awards at the Creative Arts Emmys, and it won five: best informational series or special, writing for nonfiction program, picture editing for a nonfiction program, sound editing for a nonfiction program, and sound mixing for a nonfiction program. Bourdain won two of the Emmys personally, as well as an Emmy for best short-form nonfiction or reality show for Anthony Bourdain: Explore Parts Unknown.
