Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show wins major award
The show received critical acclaim.
Some of the biggest names in the genre took center stage in the biggest musical event of the year this past February for the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show. The show began with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre combining with "The Next Episode” and “California Love”, before the cameras panned to 50 Cent, who kicked off “In Da Club” the same way he did in the music video 19 years ago - upside down.
It was then time for Mary J. Blige, who sang "Family Affair" and "No More Drama." Following a creative set from Kendrick Lamar, it was time for Detroit native Eminem with "Lose Yourself". It was then back to Dre, who sang a few bars from "Still D.R.E.".
And now, the show has been honored by winning a major award for the first time. It won this year's Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety Special.
"I am nervous, man. Jay[-Z] is watching," executive producer Jesse Collins said while accepting the award. "First, on behalf of the fellow executive producers and our performers, we would like to thank the television academy for this incredible honor. It's amazing. This is the first time this show has ever won this award, and it's so incredible to be a part of this moment. It took an incredible team to pull this together, and I thank you all."
