Summary
Bad Bunny claimed his first Emmy for variety special (live) after his 13-minute Super Bowl halftime show won seven awards at the Creative Arts ceremony.
The performance made history as the first Spanish-language halftime show, turning the field into Puerto Rico-inspired scenes and featuring Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin.
The show’s creative team said Bad Bunny, who also served as a producer, had only two months to bring the concept to life.
Mariska Hargitay also emerged as a major winner, taking documentary special and directing for “My Mom Jayne” ahead of hosting the Primetime Emmys on Sept. 14 in Los Angeles.
Saturday’s ceremony was the first of two Creative Arts Emmy nights, with an edited broadcast set for Sept. 12 before the main telecast.
