The 2024 edition of the Oscars won outstanding variety special (live) on night one of the Creative Arts Emmys. It’s the first time the Oscars have won the top program Emmy in variety since 1991, when it won in a predecessor category, outstanding variety, music or comedy program. Before that, the Oscars won the top program award in 1979 and 1988.
In winning outstanding variety special (live), The Oscars prevailed over The Apple Music Super Bowl LVIII Halftime Show Starring Usher, The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady and the latest editions of the Grammys and the Tonys.
Raj Kapoor, Molly McNearney and Katy Mullan served as executive producers of the Oscars. Jimmy Kimmel hosted for the fourth time.

The Creative Arts Emmys are being presented over two consecutive nights at the Peacock Theater at LA Live in in downtown Los Angeles. The first ceremony on Saturday (Sept. 7) focused on unscripted and documentary programs. Sunday’s ceremony will focus on scripted programs.
Rickey Minor won outstanding music direction for his work on the Oscars. It’s his third win in the category, following wins for Taking the Stage: African American Music and Stories That Changed America (2017) and the Kennedy Center Honors (2020).This year’s win was a particular achievement because Minor was competing with himself. He was also nominated for his work on The 46th Kennedy Center Honors.
The Oscars won two other Creative Arts Emmys – outstanding direction for Hamish Hamilton and outstanding production design for a variety special. These four awards bring the total number of Emmy Awards won by the Oscars to 63. (The show was known as the Academy Awards through 2012, when the show formally changed the name to the more fan-friendly Oscars.)
Saturday Night Live was the big winner on night one of the Creative Arts Emmys with six wins. This brings the show’s tally of Primetime Emmy wins to 97, the record for a series. The show is set to launch its 50th season this fall.
The show’s wins were all in technical craft categories – directing; lighting design/lighting direction; technical direction and camerawork; production design; hairstyling; and makeup.
Blue Eye Samurai, Jim Henson Idea Man and The Oscars each won four awards on Saturday. Billy Joel – The 100th Live at Madison Square Garden and Welcome to Wrexham each won three. Girls State and Love on the Spectrum each won two.
The Billy Joel special won three technical awards – sound mixing; lighting design/lighting direction; and technical direction and camerawork. But it lost the top award in its field, outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) to Dick Van Dyke: 98 Years of Magic. This is the second year in a row that award went to a show celebrating a TV legend in his or her 90s. Carol Burnett: 90 Years of Laughter + Love won last year.
As the executive producer/performer of the MSG special, Joel would have won his first Primetime Emmy if the program had won. He has won five Grammys and a Tony.
Jim Henson: Idea Man, a Disney + program about the genius creator of the Muppets, won outstanding documentary or non-fiction special, where it beat The Greatest Night in Pop, about the recording session that produced “We Are the World,” as well as separate docs about comedians Steve Martin and Albert Brooks and the Girl’s State event.
David Fleming won outstanding music composition for a documentary series or special (original dramatic score) for his work on Jim Henson Idea Man. It’s his first Primetime Emmy. The show’s other awards were outstanding sound editing for a non-fiction or reality program and outstanding picture editing for a nonfiction program.
Henson, who died in 1990 at age 53, won five Grammys and three Primetime Emmys. In addition, he was inducted into the TV Academy Hall of Fame in 1987.
The Beach Boys on Disney + won for outstanding sound mixing for a nonfiction program.
The Voice won outstanding picture editing for a structured reality or competition program.
Maya Rudolph won outstanding character voice-over performance for her role as Connie the Hormone Monstress on Netflix’s Big Mouth. This is her sixth Primetime Emmy; her fourth in this category. Rudolph’s mother, the late Minnie Riperton, topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1975 with “Lovin’ You” and received two Grammy nominations.
Alan Cumming, host of The Traitors, won outstanding host for a reality/competition program, beating Ru Paul Charles, host of RuPaul’s Drag Race, who had won the last eight years running. Cumming won a Tony for best actor in a musical in 1998 for his role as the Emcee in a reboot of Cabaret. He picked up a second Tony in 2022 as one of platoon of producers of A Strange Loop.
Jeopardy! won outstanding game show for the second year in a row, but Ken Jennings, the show’s host (and contestant with the longest winning streak), lost outstanding game show host to Pat Sajak, who recently concluded a 40-year run as the host of that show.
Shark Tank won outstanding structured reality show for the fifth total time. It beat Queer Eye, which had won the last six years in a row. These two shows are the top winners in the history of the category.
An edited presentation of the awards from both nights of the Creative Arts Emmys will air Saturday, Sept. 14, at 8:00 p.m. PT on FXX. Subsequently, the program will be available for streaming on Hulu from Sunday, Sept. 15 through Wednesday, Oct. 9.
The 76th Emmy Awards will be broadcast live from the Peacock Theatre on Sunday, Sept. 15, from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. ET/5 p.m. to 8 p.m. PT on ABC. The broadcast will be available for streaming the next day on Hulu.
Many Grammy winners for best new artist have gone on to long and distinguished careers. The Beatles, the GOAT of all groups, won the award in 1965. Mariah Carey, the queen of Christmas and one of the top artists in pop and R&B history, won in 1991. Adele, who has the longest-running No. 1 album by a solo woman in Billboard 200 history, won in 2012. Billie Eilish, who won nine Grammys and two Oscars before her 23rd birthday, won in 2020.
Two eventual EGOT recipients, Marvin Hamlisch and John Legend, are past best new artist winners.
Other past winners of note include Bobby Darin (the first winner, in 1959), Jose Feliciano, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Carpenters, Carly Simon, Natalie Cole, Culture Club, Cyndi Lauper, Sade, Bruce Hornsby & the Range, Tracy Chapman, Toni Braxton, Sheryl Crow, LeAnn Rimes, Lauryn Hill, Christina Aguilera, Alicia Keys, Carrie Underwood and Sam Smith.
All of the aforementioned acts have received at least one additional Grammy nomination since their best new artist wins. But 13 past winners for best new artist haven’t been nominated for a Grammy since their night of glory. We’re not including this year’s winner, Victoria Monét, because she obviously hasn’t had an opportunity yet to add to her nomination tally.
We’re also not including four groups that haven’t been nominated since winning best new artist because one or more members were nominated on their own. America wasn’t nominated after winning in 1973, but Dan Peek, a member of that trio, was, for best gospel performance, contemporary or inspirational, for his album All Things Are Possible. Culture Club wasn’t nominated after winning in 1984, but Boy George was, twice – best pop vocal performance, male for “The Crying Game” and best dance recording for “When Will You Learn.”
Hootie & the Blowfish weren’t nominated after winning in 1996, but Darius Rucker won best country solo performance for “Wagon Wheel.” And fun. wasn’t nominated after winning in 2013 (no surprise since they haven’t released another album since their win), but Jack Antonoff and Nate Ruess have both been nominated since that night. Ruess received two nods for “Just Give Me a Reason,” his hit collab with P!nk. Antonoff has won nine Grammys since that night.
Here’s a list of past winners for best new artist who haven’t been nominated for a Grammy since.

Billboard‘s R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players event returned to NYC on Thursday night (Sept. 5). Hundreds of high-profile artists, executives and more from the music world came together for a party to honor the hard-working individuals leaving their marks on the industry. The Times Square EDITION hotel played host for the night, which was highlighted by Power […]
SZA had a big night at the BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards, which were held at Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles on Thursday (Sept. 5). In addition to receiving the previously announced BMI Champion Award, she was named BMI’s R&B/Hip-Hop Songwriter of the Year and received Song of the Year for “Kill Bill” alongside her co-writers Rob Bisel and Carter Lang. The smash hit reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has over one billion streams on Spotify.
Upon receiving the BMI Champion Award, SZA said, “I have to say songwriting awards mean the most to me because when I started and I needed people to come and write for me; I didn’t have anybody. … I’m grateful to be honored today because there’s so many songwriters in here that literally made me.”
Trending on Billboard
This marked the first time the BMI Champion Award has been presented in the R&B/Hip-Hop ceremony’s 24-year history. Mike Steinberg, BMI’s EVP, chief revenue & creative officer, praised SZA “for using her voice as a champion … and raising the bar in songwriting creativity and breaking boundaries at every turn.” He added, “Her once-in-a-lifetime sound has mesmerized audiences around the globe.”
In a tribute to SZA, Bren Joy performed “Broken Clocks,” and MaKenzie performed “Nobody Gets Me.”
The private event was hosted by BMI president & CEO Mike O’Neill and BMI vice president, creative, Atlanta, Catherine Brewton.
As previously announced, Babyface was named a BMI Icon at the ceremony. In accepting the award, Babyface said, “I only know that I got here because I love music, and it was the one pure thing that I knew that I could do, and I did it with all my heart. If you do it from the heart, that’s the main thing that keeps you going.”
He then surprised the audience with a performance of his 1990 smash “Whip Appeal.” Babyface and Perri McKissack co-wrote the song, which reached the top 10 on both the Hot 100 and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.
Babyface has collected 64 BMI Awards. He received BMI’s Song of the Year three times, BMI Pop Songwriter of the Year seven times and, together with his LaFace Records co-founder L.A. Reid, was named a BMI Icon in 2006.
Several artists paid tribute to Babyface by performing his songs. Mac Royals opened with “My My My,” followed by Tamar Braxton with “Superwoman” and Mario with “I’ll Make Love to You” and “Can We Talk.” Lil Wayne paid tribute to his mentor and friend before O’Neill and Brewton presented the Icon Award. O’Neill praised Babyface’s talent and impact on generations of music makers, and for being with the BMI family for nearly five decades.
Hitmaker Tay Keith received Producer of the Year for his work on hits such as “First Person Shooter” performed by Drake featuring J. Cole, “Meltdown” by Travis Scott featuring Drake, “SkeeYee” by Sexyy Red and “Circo Loco” by Drake and 21 Savage. This marks the third time Keith has been named Producer of the Year. (He was also named BMI’s R&B/Hip-Hop Songwriter of the Year in 2018.)
Coleman, Dougie F, Metro Boomin, RIOTUSA and Jahaan Sweet were also named top producers during the ceremony.
Universal Music Publishing was named BMI’s R&B/Hip-Hop Publisher of the Year for representing 21 of the previous year’s most-performed songs, including “Kill Bill,” “Barbie World,” “Paint the Town Red,” “Players,” “Superhero (Heroes & Villains)” and “Snooze.”
Over the course of the ceremony, BMI recognized the top producers and songwriters of the previous year’s 35 Most-Performed R&B/Hip-Hop Songs in the U.S., naming 56 first-time winners.

Cyndi Lauper, who won best female video at the very first MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 14, 1984, is among the presenters at this year’s show, which is set for Sept. 11.
Lauper took best female video at that first show for her zesty “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and brought comic relief by explaining the VMA eligibility and voting rules in gibberish, which has been described as similar to “ancient Babylonian.”
Lauper was also the leading nominee at that first show with nine nods, but Herbie Hancock was the night’s big winner, with five wins.

Kane Brown has been chosen to receive the Country Champion Award at the 2024 People’s Choice Country Awards. The show, hosted by Shania Twain, is set to air live on Thursday, Sept. 26, at 8 p.m. ET/PT across NBC and Peacock from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville.
Wynonna Judd received the Country Champion Award at last year’s inaugural People’s Choice Country Awards.
“Since the beginning of his career, Kane Brown has ensured that his legacy will extend beyond music,” Jen Neal, executive vice president, live events and specials, NBCUniversal Entertainment, said in a statement. “His dedication to empowering and supporting younger generations is nothing short of inspiring, and we’re thrilled to honor him with the Country Champion Award.”

Brown, 30, has amassed 11 No. 1 hits on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and three on Hot Country Songs. He has had two No. 1 albums on Top Country Albums and one on the Billboard 200.
Brown’s awards shelf is a little bare for someone with so much success. He has won two ACM Awards (video of the year for “Worldwide Beautiful” and an ACM International Award), but he has yet to win a CMA Award (despite four nods) and has yet to even be nominated for a Grammy.
As previously announced, Miranda Lambert is this year’s other honorary award recipient. She will receive the Country Icon Award, which went to an ailing Toby Keith last year.
Winners are chosen entirely by fans at the People’s Choice Country Awards. Voting is now closed. Performers and presenters for this year’s show will be revealed in the coming weeks. A limited number of show tickets and VIP packages are available now at Opry.com.

The Awards are now under new ownership after being taken over earlier this year by Andy Grant, who recently told Mixmag that in 2024 “the most important outcome being to gain the respect of the global dance community as the new trusted guardians of this responsibility.

Marcia Griffiths received a Lifetime Achievement Award Honor and Cedella Marley received a Legacy Award at the 2024 Caribbean Music Awards, which were presented on Thursday (Aug. 29) at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, N.Y. Dancehall artist Spice and comedian Majah Hype co-hosted the show, which streamed live on YouTube.
“I’m truly blessed to continue the legacy that my family built,” Marley said in accepting the award. “I’m filled with gratitude and honor to be acknowledged for my work. I want to express my sincere thanks to the committee members and the beautiful people of our Caribbean. Your support and inspiration drive my passion and motivate me to do things I was once told ‘you can’t do that.’”
Marley dedicated the award to her mother, Rita Marley, who she described as her “shero.” “[She is] a woman of extraordinary strength, compassion, wisdom and love. It is her unwavering dedication and selflessness that have led to this moment. I am both proud and humbled to have her as my mother. As I pay tribute to the Marley legacy tonight, I celebrate the woman who has laid the foundation. One love.”
