Beyonce has won her first Emmy for outstanding costumes in her "Beyonce Bowl" halftime show. She is nominated for a total of three Emmy awards, including best variety special and best direction of a variety special. The win brings her halfway to an EGOT, with two remaining awards needed to complete the quartet.
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has achieved a significant milestone in her career by winning her first Emmy Award. The singer and actress earned the Outstanding Costumes for Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Programming award for her "Beyoncé Bowl" halftime show on Netflix, which aired during the Baltimore Ravens' Christmas Day game against the Houston Texans [1].
This win marks a notable achievement for Beyoncé, who has been nominated for Emmys on several occasions but has yet to secure a victory. The award brings her halfway to an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony), a prestigious quartet of major awards in the entertainment industry [2]. She has already won 35 Grammys and has been nominated for an Oscar, leaving the Tony as the remaining prize.
The "Beyoncé Bowl" special was produced by Beyoncé's Parkwood Entertainment and Jesse Collins Entertainment, showcasing a 12-minute halftime performance from her eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter." The show was a record-breaking live event, marking the first live performance of songs from the album [1].
Beyoncé is not only a recipient of this award but is also nominated for two other categories: Outstanding Variety Special (Live) as an executive producer and performer of the special, and Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special for directing the special [1]. Her husband, Jay-Z, is also competing against her as an executive producer of Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show [3].
The win was announced as part of the juried categories from animation, costume, emerging media programming, and motion design, which are determined outside the regular voting process and given out by committees [2]. These awards are usually highly technical and are typically not awarded to famous names, making Beyoncé's win particularly notable.
The Primetime Emmys will be held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 14, where Beyoncé will have the opportunity to win additional awards and potentially achieve her EGOT status [1].
