Beyonce wins first Emmy, for ‘Beyonce Bowl' halftime show
Beyonce has an Emmy to go with her 35 Grammys.
Beyonce Knowles-Carter, her legal name, was listed as one of a half dozen people on a team that won outstanding costumes for a variety, nonfiction or reality show for 'Beyonce Bowl,' her Western-themed halftime show on Netflix's Christmas NFL game between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.
The show in her hometown of Houston brought the live debut of songs from her 'Cowboy Carter' album.
The special Emmy is Beyonce's first. She has been nominated for 10 others without a victory. And it takes her halfway to an EGOT with her 35 Grammys. She still needs a Tony and an Oscar to complete the quartet.
The award was among a handful of so-called juried Emmys announced Tuesday that are determined outside the regular voting process and given out by committees, with no official nominees. They are usually highly technical -- several involve individual elements of the animation process -- and rarely go to famous names. They are announced in advance and handed out at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony next month.
Beyonce is also nominated for best variety special as a producer of 'Beyonce Bowl' and for best direction of a variety special. Her husband, Jay-Z, is competing against her as an executive producer of Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show.

Kid Cudi discusses his testimony in the Sean Combs trial: ‘I hated every minute of it'
Kid Cudi arrives to testify at the Sean "Diddy" Combs' trial in Manhattan on May 22. David Dee Delgado/Reuters via CNN Newsource Kid Cudi, a key witness in the sex trafficking trial against hip-hop mogul Sean 'Diddy' Combs, revealed in a new interview published Wednesday that he declined to testify twice before he was ultimately subpoenaed. 'I felt I was calm. I was there because I had to be,' Cudi told host Alex Cooper in a conversation for the 'Call Her Daddy' podcast. 'I hated every minute of it,' Cudi added. 'I did not want to do it, but then I thought about, when I was up there, I'm here to support Cassie (Ventura.)' Cudi testified in the Combs trial in May that his home was broken into and his car set on fire in 2011, around the time he had been in a relationship with Ventura. 'I've always just wanted to see her thrive and do well and be happy. I know she was living a nightmare,' Cudi said of Ventura. 'I just was there to support her. That's what, kind of, gave me peace with it. When I sat down in that chair, it was just about, 'Damn, I don't want to do this' to being like 'Oh man, I got to hold homegirl down and look out for her.'' Last month, a jury convicted Combs of two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution. He was acquitted of the more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, though, he will likely receive a significantly shorter sentence, according to legal analysts. A sentencing hearing is set for Oct. 3. Cudi's new book, 'Cudi: The Memoir,' debuted this week. He also has an upcoming album, 'Free,' set to release on August 22. By Lisa Respers France, CNN

Weinstein sentencing could happen next month, but only if there's no retrial on an unresolved rape charge
Social Sharing WARNING: This story contains details about sexual assault and may affect those who have experienced it or know someone affected by it. Harvey Weinstein faces sentencing and a possible retrial in his New York City sex crimes case, but when they'll happen — and whether he'll be back in front of another jury — is still up in the air. Manhattan Judge Curtis Farber said Wednesday he could sentence Weinstein on Sept. 30 — but only if there's no retrial on a rape charge that the last jury failed to reach a verdict on. Weinstein, 73, was convicted in June of forcing oral sex on TV and movie production assistant and producer Miriam Haley in 2006. The charge carries a possible sentence of up to 25 years in prison. At the same time, the jury acquitted him of forcing oral sex on another woman, one-time model Kaja Sokola, but couldn't decide a charge that he raped hairstylist and actor Jessica Mann in 2013. Manhattan prosecutors told Farber that they're ready to take Weinstein to trial for a third time on the rape charge, which is punishable by up to four years in prison. That's less time than Weinstein has already served. Mann is on board to testify again, they said. Prosecutors requested a January trial date, citing witness availability and their own caseload. Farber balked at that, saying a January date is too far away and conflicts with another, unrelated trial he's already scheduled. He proposed having the trial in the fall. "The case needs to be tried this year," Farber said. Weinstein lawyer Arthur Aidala agreed, telling Farber he'd prefer a trial at "the earliest the court can accommodate us." Assistant district attorney Nicole Blumberg said she would ask Mann and other witnesses about their availability for a trial in the fall. If a fall trial happens, it would likely put Weinstein's high-profile #MeToo case back in court as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg is in the final throes of his re-election bid. Bragg, a first-term Democrat who made prosecuting sex crimes cases a priority, has expressed satisfaction with Weinstein's conviction on a criminal sex act charge in the Haley assault and has been resolute in wanting the Oscar-winning studio boss retried on the Mann rape charge. "The jury was not able to reach a conclusion as to Ms. Mann, and she deserves that," Bragg said in June. "This work, first and foremost, is about the survivors and that's why we're prepared to go forward." Aidala told reporters outside court that, in his view, it's on prosecutors to resolve the rape charge — either by dropping it and clearing the way for sentencing, or promptly taking it to trial again. Weinstein sat in court in a wheelchair while wearing a blue suit and black-rimmed glasses. The Pulp Fiction and Shakespeare in Love producer is committed to fighting the rape charge at another trial, Aidala said, though the lawyer didn't rule out the possibility of reaching a deal with prosecutors to end the case. For now, the trial date remains unresolved, leaving Weinstein's possible Sept. 30 sentencing in limbo. Earlier proceedings At Weinstein's first trial in 2020, jurors convicted him of raping Mann and forcing oral sex on production assistant and producer Miriam Haley. Then an appeals court overturned those convictions and sent the case back for retrial because of legal issues involving other women's testimony. This spring, a new jury convicted him again of sexually assaulting Haley and acquitted him of doing the same to another woman who wasn't part of the first trial. But amid fractious deliberations, the majority-female jury got stuck on the charge related to Mann. Mann has testified that she also had a consensual, on-and-off relationship with the then-married Weinstein, but that she told him "I don't want to do this" as he cornered her in the hotel room. She said he persevered with advances and demands until she "just gave up." Weinstein already stands convicted of sex crimes in California. He denies all of the allegations against him.
