The Emmy, presented on September 12 during The Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony, is the fourth for the 1995 Media Arts alumnus. He won in 2017, 2018 and 2020 for Sound Editing on the Netflix thriller Stranger Things.

It’s an amazing achievement, and one that can inspire everyone in our Sheridan community to continue to strive for their goals.”

This year, Henighan was one of three graduates to receive an Emmy nod. Sheridan’s award-winning alumni from the Faculty of Animation, Arts and Design have a long history of success at the Emmys and in other top awards competitions including the Oscars and Canadian Screen Awards.
