HALFTIME LVI, ADELE, STRANGER THINGS SCORE EMMYS

The Super Bowl LVI Pepsi Halftime Show, CBS’ Adele special, the music supervisor for Netflix’s Stranger Things, Peter Jackson’s Beatles doc, the composers for HBO’s White Lotus and Apple+’s Severance and one of the songwriters behind Schmigadoon! were all winners during the two nights of the Creative Arts Emmys, 9/3-4.

The Super Bowl LVI Pepsi Halftime Show (NBC)—curated by Team Interscope—memorably presented a low-ridin', blunt-smokin' medley by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige. It earned gongs for Outstanding Variety Special (Live) and Outstanding Production Design for a Variety Special.
