Beyoncé wins first Emmy Award for Netflix special ‘Beyoncé Bowl'
The Television Academy announced the winners of the 77th Emmy Awards in juried categories from animation, costume, emerging media programming and motion design on Tuesday. More awards will be handed out on Sept. 6 and 7 at the dual Creative Arts ceremonies and during the Primetime Emmys on Sept. 14.
Beyoncé won an Emmy for outstanding costumes for variety, nonfiction or reality programming as a costume designer for her NFL halftime performance on Netflix, dubbed the 'Beyoncé Bowl.' She won alongside her fellow costume designer Shiona Turini, costume supervisor Chelsea Staebell, assistant costume designers Erica Rice and Molly Peters, and head of workroom Timothy White.
Beyoncé is still up for outstanding variety special (live) as an executive producer and performer of the special and outstanding directing for a variety special. "Beyoncé Bowl" also received nods for choreography in variety or reality programming and production design for a variety special.
Produced by Beyoncé's Parkwood Entertainment and Jesse Collins Entertainment, her record-breaking Christmas Day live halftime performance became a standalone special on the streaming site.
During the special, the "Cowboy Carter" creator hit the stage at NRG Stadium, putting on an intricate 12-minute halftime performance as the Baltimore Ravens took down her home team, the Houston Texans, on Christmas Day 2024. It marked the first live performance of songs from her eighth studio album "Cowboy Carter."
Beyoncé was nominated for two Emmys for her visual album "Lemonade" in 2016. Three years later, she received four Emmy nods for her "Homecoming" documentary. She also scored nominations for her 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and an "On The Run Tour" HBO special with husband Jay-Z in 2015.
Of course, the Grammy-winning singer closed out her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas on July 26. The concert signaled the end of her "Cowboy Carter" era — a 32-stop stadium tour that spanned the U.S. and Europe. The tour became the highest grossing country tour with over $400 million in earnings.
The Primetime Emmys will be held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Sep. 14.

Denzel Washington slams Jerry Jones amid Micah Parsons contract dispute, Cowboys title drought
New York native Denzel Washington, one of Hollywood's biggest stars, said he's been an avid supporter of the Dallas Cowboys for decades. But the two-time Academy Award winner expressed his frustration with the current state of his beloved NFL franchise. Washington made a guest appearance on ESPN's "First Take" program on Tuesday in support of his upcoming film "Highest 2 Lowest." While much of his conversation with host Stephen A. Smith centered on the film, Washington took a moment to call out longtime Cowboys owner Jerry Jones as the franchise's Super Bowl drought approaches the three-decade mark. Cowboys star pass rusher Micah Parsons continues to hold out and seek a trade as talks with Jones and the team's front office on a long-term contract extension appeared to stall. Washington suggested Jones handling of the Parsons situation was ultimately a disservice to the team's fans. "I don't like what (Jones) is doing… I respect the owner, but I don't like what it's doing to the fans," Washington said. "He's not thinking about us, the fans. He's thinking about his pockets. It's like… there's box office and there's the Oscars. And you ain't been to (the Oscars) in a minute. At the end of the day, I'm still gonna wear my hat with the star on it." Washington then tried to pivot back to discussing the film, but not before offering Jones more advice. "All money ain't good money, Jerry!" Washington cautioned. Washington also said he's been a Cowboys fan "since the 1960s." The 70-year-old actor has also long supported the Los Angeles Lakers. Parsons missed four games last season but still finished the year with 12 sacks. He has recorded double-digit sacks in each of his four seasons in the NFL. Last week, Jones admitted that he was not completely confident Parsons would be in a Cowboys uniform for the team's season opener against the Philadelphia Eagles. "No, absolutely not," Jones said last Tuesday. "A big part of that is his decision. How would I know that?" The Cowboys have won three Super Bowl titles since Jones became the franchise's controlling owner. However, the team has not reached the championship game since the 1995 season.

'KPop Demon Hunters' heads to select theaters for sing-along event
Get ready to sing your hearts out and seal the Honmoon with a "KPop Demon Hunters" sing-along. The hit Netflix animated film is coming to select theaters for one weekend this month, the streaming platform announced Tuesday. A series of screenings of the film will take place across the U.S. and Canada on Aug. 23 and 24. The limited theatrical screening event will be a sing-along version of the movie, according to a press release. Tickets will go on sale Wednesday, Aug. 13, at 6 a.m. PT. News of the sing-along event comes one day after the film's viral song, "Golden," reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song, which is by the fictional K-pop girl group Huntr/x and performed by EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, made history as the first No. 1 Hot 100 hit by a female K-pop group, with nearly 32 million streams, 7,000 sales, and 8.4 million radio airplay impressions in the United States, according to Billboard. The track also continues to rise on the charts for a seventh consecutive week, surpassing 3 billion global streams to date, according to a press release. The achievement also marks the first Hot 100 No. 1 by any act with a fictional background since "We Don't Talk About Bruno" from Encanto in March 2022, as well as the first female group track to do so since Destiny's Child in 2001. The soundtrack has also claimed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Soundtracks chart, dominating for a seventh week. The "KPop Demon Hunters" soundtrack continues to hold steady at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, recording its best week yet with 100,000 equivalent album units. The album, associated with the animated action-fantasy film of the same title, has grown in popularity each week since its release. The action-packed film, which premiered June 20, follows a world-renowned K-pop girl group balancing their lives in the spotlight with their secret identities as demon hunters. The film has become a global streaming sensation on Netflix, with 158.8 million views since its debut, ranking among the streamer's most popular titles ever. It's been in the Netflix Top 10 for seven weeks, according to Variety. The movie stars Arden Cho, Ahn Hyo-seop, May Hong and Ji-young Yoo. Knowing how important the soundtrack would be, directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans collaborated with experienced K-pop producers. "Because we wanted the music to be really incredible and really speak to the K-pop fans and be legitimately fit into the K-pop space, we felt that it was important to partner with a Korean label," Kang said during a Netflix press interview, per BBC.

‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' surging in Emmy predictions after shocking cancellation
What a difference a week — and a shocking cancellation — makes. When the 2025 Emmy nominations were announced on July 15, the Best Variety Talk Series race appeared to be a slam dunk for The Daily Show. However, following CBS' so-called "purely financial decision" to end The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on July 17, the forecast has become clouded. More from Gold Derby 'We've gotta get to outer space': Phil Keoghan on the future of 'The Amazing Race' and the upcoming 'Big Brother' 'crossover' season 'Zootopia 2' trailer debuts: Everything you need to know about Disney's sequel to the Oscar-winning hit The Late Show has a 26 percent chance of winning the Emmy, according to the Gold Derby predictions. That's a 19-point surge from the 7 percent chance the show had on the day it was canceled. Stephen Colbert's ascension is the direct result of Gold Derby's experts, editors, and users updating their picks, no doubt believing Television Academy members might want to reward The Late Show for what many see as a political decision, and provide a platform for a charged acceptance Emmy speech from Colbert. Meanwhile, The Daily Show has seen its hopes drop significantly over that same time period. It still leads the Best Variety Talk Series race with a 70 percent chance of winning, but it's down 19 points from 10 days ago. The third nominee, Jimmy Kimmel Live, has remained steady in our rankings at 4 percent. Variety Talk Series Contender Odds 1. The Daily Show 69.2% 2. Late Show with Stephen Colbert 27.1% 3. Jimmy Kimmel Live 3.8% The Daily Show, the reigning champion in this category, rotates hosts among Jon Stewart, Ronny Chieng, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta, and Desi Lydic. In 2024, the long-running political satire welcomed back Stewart, who originally hosted from 1999 to 2015, to give his comedic take on the presidential election. He still hosts every Monday night, and he recently extended his contract through the end of 2025. Various iterations of The Daily Show have won this Emmy contest a leading 11 times, and a 12th victory would extend its record. Comparatively, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert has never won an Emmy in any category, despite 33 total nominations. (The Showtime special Stephen Colbert's Election Night 2020: Democracy's Last Stand Building Back America Great Again Better 2020 did win an Emmy in 2021 for Best Variety Special — Live.) Colbert's first late-night talker, The Colbert Report, took home seven Emmy Awards during its 10-year reign. He left that series in 2014 to take the reins of The Late Show after David Letterman retired. Fun fact: Jon Stewart is a producer on both The Daily Show and The Late Show, so he'd win an Emmy if either program were to prevail. But there is a third talk show in contention. Jimmy Kimmel Live is a three-time Emmy winner for costumes, picture editing, and music and lyrics ("I'm F--king Matt Damon"), though it's never won the top prize for Best Variety Talk Series. Jimmy Kimmel himself has three Emmys on his mantel for hosting the 2024 Oscars and for producing two installments of Live in Front of a Studio Audience in 2019 and 2020. This year, because there were only 13 submissions on the Emmy ballot, the Best Variety Talk Series category dropped from four nominees to a historic low of three. Left out in the cold were Everybody's Live With John Mulaney, Hot Ones, Late Night With Seth Meyers, Have I Got News for You, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Very Important People, Hart to Heart, Real Time With Bill Maher, Midnight Snack With Julie Chan, and Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. Colbert announced his cancellation during the July 17 broadcast. "Before I start the show, I want to announce something I found out just last night: Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending The Late Show in May," he said. Several boos were heard from the crowd, prompting Colbert to respond, "Yeah, I share your feelings." The host and producer also thanked the 200 people who worked on the program, saying, "It is a fantastic job. I wish someone else was getting it. I am looking forward to doing it for the next 10 months." CBS is retiring The Late Show franchise entirely, concluding a 30-plus-year run that began in 1993 with Letterman.
