Beyonce receives first-ever Daytime Emmy Award nomination

Agencies

Los Angeles, May 8: Beyonce received her first Daytime Emmy nomination for the upbeat track she wrote for her mom Tina Knowles-Lawson’s Facebook Watch show.

The 40-year-old singer was recognized in the outstanding original song category for her 90’s sitcom-inspired tune, Talks With Mama Tina Theme Song, which debuted in December.

Despite earning eight Primetime Emmy nominations since 2013, the mom-of-three has yet to take home one of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ prestigious trophies.

If she wins, she’ll become one step closer to the coveted EGOT title, which has only ever been earned by 16 other people. 

The potential accolade comes after she’s earned 28 Grammy Awards and a recent Academy Award nomination for her track Be Alive featured in the film King Richard. To earn the title, the Partition hitmaker still has to win an Emmy, Oscar, and Tony Award. 

The superstar wife of Jay-Z came close to adding an Emmy to her trophy collection after receiving a whopping six Emmy nominations for her film Homecoming. Homecoming documented her intense preparation for her 2018 Coachella appearance. 

She earned nods in the Outstanding Variety Special (pre-recorded), Outstanding Directing besides co-creator Ed Burke, Outstanding Music Direction, Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special, Outstanding Production Design, and Outstanding Costume categories.
