Unknown parts has also won awards for editing, editing, mixing and online series, but it was the Outstanding Writing Emmy that was particularly significant for the show's crew, as it was Bourdain's coveted award before his suicide on June 8th.

"Tony has been nominated for this Emmy several times," producer Lydia Tenaglia said in her acceptance speech on the exceptional writing on behalf of Bourdain (via Deadline).

"But [this award] he had always escaped him, the one he had always coveted, so it is with a bitter sweetness that I accept him in his name … his writings were always fiercely intelligent, very real without bullshit … he was there , he would thank his long-time literary agent and friend Kim Witherspoon for bringing his words to life through books … in fact, he would not have done that at all … he really went for a trip to unknown regions. We would have liked to be there to film him with him and he would have really written this episode.

During his race, which ends with a season finale from September 23rd, Unknown parts was nominated for 31 Creative Arts Emmy Awards, and won four: from 2013 to 2016, the show received exceptional or special series of information four consecutive years, as well as an exceptional cinematography for non-fiction programming in 2013.
