Getty Images Bad Bunny has won his first Emmy for the Super Bowl Halftime Show. He won in the outstanding variety special (live) category.
“The Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show Starring Bad Bunny” took home a total of seven nominations, winning music direction, choreography, sound mixing, lighting design, technical direction/camerawork and directing.
Bad Bunny and the event’s producers and directors pulled off what may have been the most intricate halftime extravaganza in Super Bowl history. Superstar guests included Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin, a real-life wedding and authentic business owners (including Los Angeles’ own Villa’s Tacos) among the set.
Speaking about the performance, creative director Harriet Cuddeford previously told Variety, “The performance is celebrating normal people, and what it is to be human and love and have joy, and really appreciate one another. This was to show how much he values his community, to celebrate normal people on the world’s biggest stage, especially people who are of importance in Latino culture. He’s a very authentic person, Benito, and it’s about just being authentic and very real and very human.”
