Dr. Dre's Halftime Show, Kanye West Documentary Nominated for Emmys

Dr. Dre's Halftime Show, Kanye West Documentary Nominated for Emmys

Everyone knew the Dr. Dre-helmed Super Bowl Halftime Show was a huge deal, packed with an all-star lineup that included Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent, and Anderson.Paak, and now it's clear the Emmys think so too.

The show earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Variety Series or Special. The Halftime Show received additional nominations for Outstanding Music Direction, Outstanding Variety Special (Live), and Outstanding Production Design for a Variety Special (it's up against Rihanna's Savage X Fenty Show Vol. 3 in the last category).

Also earning Emmy attention was the sprawling four-and-a-half-hour Kanye West documentary, jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy, directed by Coodie & Chike — it was nominated for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series.

Donald Glover also earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his role in the FX series Atlanta (he's up against Ted Lasso’s Jason Sudeikis, Barry’s Bill Hader, The Great’s Nicholas Hoult, and Steve Martin and Martin Short for their roles onThe Only Murders in the Building). Atlanta was also rightly nominated for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series (Half-Hour) and Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series.

The 2022 Emmy Awards will air September 22 on ABC.
