Biagio2103 6,451 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 The Television Academy announced today their nominations for the 2021 Primetime Emmy Awards, and Disney+ was very much present, with 5 nominations for The Falcon And The Winter Soldier, 12 for Hamilton, 23 for WandaVision and 24 for The Mandalorian. However, Black is King, a musical film and visual album directed, written, and executive produced by Beyoncé, got zero nominations despite critical acclaim. It also had a high budget and was one of the first original titles of Disney+. Beyoncé has had seven nominations throughout the years, thanks to her Super Bowl performance, Lemonade and Homecoming, but is yet to win her first Emmy. So, what happened?

Biagio2103 6,451 Posted July 13, 2021 Author Share Posted July 13, 2021 I personally believe that the release date was the main problem (the film will be a year old in two weeks). She should've released it near the Grammy deadline so she could snatch awards in both ceremonies by being present in the voters' minds.

Anderson123 39,033 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Someone posted on the Emmy noms thread asking how many did Beyoncé get and I reacted with LMAO thinking it was a joke since she always gets a lot of Grammy noms but he was asking for real.

Jill 30,407 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I thought Black Is King was released like 2 years ago or something I have yet to see it. I always forget.

Bio 23,538 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I don't really care for Black is King the album but oh my god, the film is one of the most gorgeous things I've ever watched. Really stunning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy 12,140 Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Did she submit it? Lol but if she did I can see why it didn’t splash. Categorically, it’s a hard fit for what the emmy’s awards. It just doesn’t fit nicely anywhere unlike something like Mare of Easttown very clearly fitting in drama, for instance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was an actual cultural reset that just could not be ignored. It was a milestone album. They would’ve been nuts to not nominate it. 9 minutes ago, rinasawachanta said: Opportunism detected and defeated huh?

It’s better than some of the actual nominees tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
