The Super Bowl halftime show receives multiple nominations for Emmys 2022.
This year’s Super Bowl Halftime show was a hip-hop spectacle with a performance from rap icons Dr. Dre, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige and the surprise guest 50 Cent. The incredible show has now earned multiple nods at the 2022 Emmy Awards, which is taking place in September.
The group received a nomination in Outstanding Variety Special (Live), which is for the performers only. The halftime show also received other nominations like Outstanding Music Direction, Sound Mixing, Production Design and Directing.
Justin Timberlake (2018) and Jennifer Lopez/Super Shakira’s Bowl halftime performances, for which Blackstone served as the music director, have received nominations in this category before (2020).
