The Television Academy also released some additional photos of the Star Trek stars from the event.
At the event, the stars spoke about what the franchise means to them. Shatner said that Star Trek "represents an idea that is greater than all its parts" and "I accept this award for all of the artists who have worked to make this show a success."
"It resonates because we were talking about topical issues and socio-political content," said Koenig, who played Pavel Chekov.
"It's all about good storytelling," added Burton, who played Geordi La Forge.
"We still worry about living together and having a fruitful and joyful experience," Koenig continued. "We are beset with problems that we had in the '60s."
Martin-Green and Kurtzman spoke about Discovery and the franchise's future.
Martin-Green says"It was very important to us" to do justice to the Star Trek name, "but be our own at the same time."
Kurtzman says Star Trek "has been a beacon of hope for so many people for so long. In dark times, we need that hope."
The Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony took place on Sept. 8th, 52 years to the day after Star Trek made its television debut.
Every episode of Star Trek television ever produced is available now to stream via CBS All Access.
Star Trek: Discovery Season Two is now filming in Toronto and will premiere in early 2019.
