After 10 nominations, Beyonce won in the Outstanding Costumes For Variety, Nonfiction Or Reality Programming category as the Costume Designer for “Beyonce Bowl,” her half-time peformance during Netflix’s Gameday Christmas streaming event. “Beyonce Bowl” is up for four other Emmys including Outstanding Variety Special (Live). The Television Academy and CBS are rumored to have moved that category to the Primetime ceremony in hopes that Beyonce would appear.
Beyonce will need to find room next to her record 35 Grammy Awards. She is also an Oscar nominee for “Be Alive” from “King Richard” and a Peabody Award winner for “Lemonade.”
The other winners revealed saw “Arcane” take two trophies in Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation for Background Design (“The Dirt Under Your Nails”) and Color (“The Message Hidden Within The Pattern”). The “400 Boys” episode of “Love, Death + Robots” took Character Animation and Character Design. The “How Zeke Got Religion” episode of “Love” won the Storyboard category. Outstanding Motion Design went to Prime Video’s “Octopus!” while Outstanding Innovation In Emerging Media Programming went to “White Rabbit.”
