Beyoncé Wins Her 1st Primetime Emmy for ‘Beyoncé Bowl’

Beyoncé is officially a Primetime Emmy winner. 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 (Aug. 12).

Beyoncé won as a costume designer for her Netflix special Beyoncé Bowl in the category of outstanding costumes for variety, nonfiction or reality programming. She won alongside fellow costume designer Shiona Turini; assistant costume designers Erica Rice and Molly Peters; costume supervisor Chelsea Staebell; and head of workroom Timothy White.

These juried awards will be presented at the 77th Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which will take place at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live over two nights — Saturday, Sept. 6, and Sunday, Sept. 7. An edited presentation will air Saturday, Sept. 13, at 8 p.m. PT on FXX.

Juried category entrants are screened by a panel of professionals in the appropriate peer groups with the possibility of one, more than one or no entry awarded an Emmy. As a result, there are no nominees, but instead, a one-step evaluation and voting procedure. Deliberations include open discussions of each entrant’s work with a thorough review of the merits of awarding the Emmy.

Beyoncé is also nominated in two other categories for Beyoncé Bowl – outstanding variety special (live) (as performer/executive producer) and outstanding directing for a variety special (in tandem with Alex Rudzinski).

Beyoncé has won 35 Grammys, more than anyone else in history. She received an Oscar nomination for best original song in 2022 for co-writing “Be Alive” from King Richard with DIXSON.
