The Voice has broken a new record for music or dance programs by securing its 12th nomination for outstanding reality/competition program at the 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards. The nominations were unveiled on July 12, and the awards ceremony is scheduled for September 18. Among the numerous music-related shows recognized in various categories, The Apple Music Super Bowl LVII Halftime Show Starring Rihanna (Fox) is nominated for outstanding variety special (live), competing against the Tonys (CBS), the Oscars (ABC), Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium (Disney+), and Chris Rock: Selective Outrage (Netflix). Notably, last year’s Super Bowl halftime show featuring Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and 50 Cent became the first of its kind to win a top program Emmy.
Jimmy Kimmel Live! (ABC) received its 12th nomination for outstanding talk series, putting it in a tie with Real Time With Bill Maher for the most nods in the category without a win yet. Competing against Kimmel’s show this year are The Late Show With Stephen Colbert (CBS), The Daily Show With Trevor Noah (Comedy Central), Late Night with Seth Meyers (NBC), and The Problem With Jon Stewart (Apple TV+).
