Beyoncé is now halfway to EGOT with her first Emmy win
LOS ANGELES — Beyoncé has an Emmy to go with her 35 Grammys. Beyoncé 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 'Beyoncé 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 Beyoncé'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. Beyoncé is also nominated for best variety special as a producer of 'Beyoncé 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.

‘Alien: Earth' Release Schedule: When Do New Episodes Come Out?
The Alien prequel series Alien: Earth is now available on streaming and cable on Hulu and FX. When will new episodes of the sci-fi horror series be available? The Alien franchise, of course, kicked off in 1979 with director Ridley Scott's Alien, which introduced movie audiences to Sigourney Weaver's iconic character Ellen Ripley. Now, 46 years after the release of the landmark sci-fi horror movie with the classic tagline, 'In space no one can hear you scream,' comes Alien: Earth from creator Noah Hawley (Fargo). The official summary for Alien: Earth reads, 'In the year 2120, the Earth is governed by five corporations: Prodigy, Weyland-Yutani, Lynch, Dynamic and Threshold. In this Corporate Era, cyborgs (humans with both biological and artificial parts) and synthetics (humanoid robots with artificial intelligence) exist alongside humans. 'But the game is changed when the wunderkind Founder and CEO of Prodigy Corporation unlocks a new technological advancement: hybrids (humanoid robots infused with human consciousness). The first hybrid prototype named 'Wendy' marks a new dawn in the race for immortality. After Weyland-Yutani's spaceship collides into Prodigy City, Wendy and the other hybrids encounter mysterious life forms more terrifying than anyone could have ever imagined.' Alien: Earth stars Sydney Chandler as Wendy, the first synthetic hybrid to be given a human consciousness, while Timothy Olyphant plays Kirsh, a synthetic charged with training the first group of hybrids. Alex Lawther also stars as Wendy's brother, Hermit. The first two episodes of Alien: Earth premiered simultaneously on FX on cable and streaming on Hulu on Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
