Bad Bunny's Super Bowl Halftime Show Breaks Emmy Nomination Record

Puerto Rican star Bad Bunny headlined the Super Bowl LVII halftime show, delivering a performance almost entirely in Spanish. The production earned nine Primetime Emmy nominations, surpassing Lady Gaga's previous record of six nominations in 2017. The nominations cover categories such as Outstanding Live Variety Special, direction, choreography, music direction, lighting, production design and sound. The historic nod reflects the show's cultural impact and marks it as a leading contender for this year's top‑program Emmy awards.

The Grammy Awards telecast, also nominated for the same Emmy category, has yet to win a top‑program award despite ten previous nominations, underscoring the heightened competition among major live events this awards season.
