The music-related programming nominated in this year’s Variety Special (Live) category also includes "SNL50: The Return Concert" and "Live on Saturday Night," particularly "SNL50: The Anniversary Special." Beyonc\u00e9 was also nominated for her concert, along with co-director Alex Rudzinski, marking her third nomination in this category after previously being nominated for "Lemonade" in 2016 and "Home: A Film by Beyonc\u00e9" in 2019.<\/p>\n
Both Beyonc\u00e9 and Lamar’s half-time shows were recognized in the choreography category for Variety or Reality Programming, with Charm La’Donna nominated for both shows. Tyrik Patterson, Christopher Grant, and Parris Goebel were also nominated for the choreography for "Beyonc\u00e9 Bowl." Kendrick Lamar himself was nominated for the musical direction for the half-time show, along with James Poyser.<\/p>\n
In the seven music-specific categories at the Emmys, other notable nominees include Hans Zimmer for his score "America," Adam Sandler with Dan Bulla for music and lyrics for "Adam Sandler’s Song: 50 Years" on "SNL50: The Anniversary Special," and Kristen Wiig, Sean Douglas, and Josh Greenbaum for music and lyrics for "Harper and Will Go West" on "Will & Harper."<\/p>\n
