The "Beyoncé Bowl" halftime show aired on Netflix and took place in Beyoncé's hometown of Houston. This victory comes as Beyoncé has been nominated for two additional Emmy awards: best variety special as a producer and best direction of a variety special.
Meanwhile, Beyoncé's husband, Jay-Z, is also nominated for an Emmy award as an executive producer of Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl halftime show. This achievement further cements the power couple's dominance in the entertainment industry.

However, she has won fewer Emmys, primarily for her work in televised performances and documentaries. Beyoncé has not yet won an Oscar or a Tony Award, making her an EGOT contender.
In summary, Beyoncé's Emmy win for the "Beyoncé Bowl" halftime show marks a significant step towards her goal of achieving an EGOT. With her husband Jay-Z also nominated for an Emmy, the couple continues to make waves in the entertainment industry.
