Beyonce wins first Emmy for NFL half-time show
Beyonce won an Emmy for outstanding costumes for a variety, non-fiction or reality show for Beyonce Bowl, her Western-themed half-time 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.
The award was among a handful of so-called juried Emmys announced on Tuesday that are determined outside the regular voting process and given out by committees, with no official nominees.
The awards 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 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 half-time show.
Beyonce now has an Emmy to go with her 35 Grammys.

Netflix ‘putting out the trash' releasing season two of Meghan Markle's cooking show
Broadcaster Dee Dee Dunleavy criticises Netflix's decision to renew Meghan Markle's cooking show 'With Love, Meghan' for a second season after negative reviews of the first. 'It was filmed at the same time as the first season, it's not like Netflix went, 'oh, that was so great, let's go back and film some more'," Ms Dunleavy said. 'This feels very much to me like Netflix's picking up all the rubbish and putting out the trash … they're just getting rid of the last bit of content they've made with these two. 'There are four chefs on the show, all of whom have Netflix shows. It's almost as though they were contractually obliged to say, 'Yes, I'll appear with Meghan.' I would love to see the list of who was asked to be on the show but said no.'

Wednesday star Jenna Ortega attends Sydney event as major plot twist on hit Netflix series
Warning: Contains spoilers from Wednesday Season 2, Part 2 The stars of Netflix's hit series Wednesday descended on Sydney's Cockatoo Island on Thursday afternoon – and the overcast Sydney weather was a perfect backdrop for the event. Clad in her character's signature dark attire, titular star Jenna Ortega put on a haunting appearance alongside Emma Myers – who plays her cheerful best friend Enid Sinclair – as they attended an 'Outcast Assembly' on the famed island to promote Season 2 of the gothic series. Joining them at the event was the master of the macabre himself Tim Burton, who is the director and executive producer of the show. 'I love the character,' the Oscar nominee told the crowd about the iconic Wednesday Addams. 'I agree with everything she says, everything she feels a about family, school, psychiatry and society, so that's why we're here in this beautiful place. It's something I really identify with.' The trio are in Sydney for the final stop on the global Doom Tour, and are also joined by series creator/showrunners Alfred Gough and Miles Millar. The group have visited England, Poland, Italy, France, Romania, the US, Canada and South Korea. But they left a major announcement for their last and final stop in Sydney. In dramatic scenes, actress Gwendoline Christie emerged from behind a giant moon suspended from the warehouse ceiling to reveal in a world-exclusive announcement that her character, Nevermore Academy headmistress Larissa Weems, will be brought back from the dead in Season 2. 'Did you really think Nevermore would let me go so easily,' her voice echoed in the warehouse. 'I was never gone. You just stopped looking.' Fans would know that Weems, a shapeshifter, was the former roommate of Wednesday's mum Morticia Addams (Catherine Zeta-Jones) when they were at school and would later become the principal of Nevermore Academy, where Wednesday and Enid attend. Weems was a major character on Season 2 and many fans were left shocked when she was tragically poisoned with a laced syringe by the deranged Laurel Gates, aka Marilyn Thornhill aka Christina Ricci. 'This season we'll see a different of Larissa Weems' suffering,' Christie later told the crowd, which was filled with superfans dressed in the purple Nevermore uniforms. 'It's such an honour,' Ortega said from the stage when asked about being back in black as Wednesday. 'Oftentimes you don't get to revisit your character, so to be able to do it with some like Wednesday. I feel very, very lucky.' Burton, Ortega and Myers will again take centre stage on Saturday at Cockatoo Island when the harbour attraction is transformed into Wednesday Island – a makeshift purple playground where fans lucky enough to secure tickets can walk through a gauntlet of haunting experiences, such The Raven's Passage and The Dead Lounge, while also taking a peek at The Doll House and Wednesday and Enid's Room. Season 2 sees Wednesday return to Nevermore Academy with her razor-sharp remarks and deadpan demeanour. Armed with her sharp detective skills, she soon finds herself obsessing over a new supernatural mystery that sees her get up to all sorts of kooky mayhem. Despite almost a three-year break between Seasons 1 and 2, Netflix numbers show that there was a zero per cent drop in viewership when Season 2: Part 1 premiered on August 6. According to Forbes, Wednesday got 50 million views in its first five days of streaming, which puts it on par with the Season 1 debut in November 2022. It's worth noting that Season 1 premiered with all eight episodes in one drop, whereas Season 2 premiered with only the first four episodes, with Part 2 premiering on Netflix on September 3. Therefore, expect another viewership spike next month.

‘Boycott': Aussies fume over Netflix's latest price hikes
Aussie Netflix users have been quick to call out the streaming giant following its sixth price increase since entering the Australian market in 2015. On Wednesday, the platform announced all subscription tiers would be impacted as early as September this year. Understandably, it's not been met with open arms by users already impacted by the cost-of-living pinch. Taking to social media, users even threatened to 'cancel' their subscriptions as they vented their frustrations. 'Greedy company. Raising prices multiple times per year will only push more ships into the sea,' one person said. 'Boycott Netflix. Raising prices again...,' another added. Aussies react to Netflix price rises. Credit: Supplied In response to the promotion of the Netflix original film My Oxford Year, other Netflix subscribers argued the quality of content available for streaming didn't warrant the uptick in price. 'Worst content on your platform in history losing so many shows and you think you need a price increase 😂,' one user said. 'Another price increase? Cancel time,' another chimed in. Subscribers on Netflix's two standard plans will be forced to part with an extra $2 every month, with the 'standard with ads' option shifting from $7.99 to $9.99, and the ad-free Standard plan now set at $20.99 monthly. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have become regular features on Netflix. Credit: Netflix / Netflix Premium subscribers are looking at the steepest leap, with a $3 rise, taking the plan from $25.99 to $28.99. According to tech site Tom's Guide, Netflix's initial prices for Australian users were $8.99 monthly for a basic ad-free plan and $14.99 for premium access, making today's Premium option nearly double the cost. Netflix said the higher prices would allow them 'to bring you even more exciting, new entertainment', promising 'fresh, can't-miss shows and movies every week'.
