"There are hundreds of Emmy categories, not just the 26 that air during the Primetime Emmy Awards, which will be held on Sunday, September 14 this year. The categories are split across multiple events throughout the year - the Primetime Emmy Awards, Primetime Emmy Engineering Awards, Daytime Emmy Awards, Sports Emmys, News & Documentary Emmys, Children's and Family Emmy Awards, and Creative Arts Emmy Awards - and many winners and nominees are known only within the industry."
"Here are 12 famous people you might not realize had Emmys. Taylor Swift has an Emmy for an interactive version of her "Blank Space" music video. The pop star won a Creative Arts Emmy in 2015 for an original interactive program: "AMEX Unstaged: Taylor Swift Experience." It was an app that offered a 360-degree view of her "Blank Space" music video integrated with a virtual reality headset."
"The mogul won for outstanding variety special (live) in 2022 for the halftime show at Super Bowl LVI. He won in 2023 for directing the halftime show at Super Bowl LVII, which was the Rihanna-led show. He shares the award with Hamish Hamilton. He won a Sports Emmy, too, in 2011 for outstanding music composition/direction/lyrics for his performance of "Run This Town," played before Super Bowl XLIV."
