As reported here, the 2015 Primetime Emmy nominations were unveiled today to honor the year’s most spectacular moments and people on television.
While the historic nominations of Taraji P. Henson (‘Empire’) and Viola Davis (‘How To Get Away With Murder’) could lend the first time in history an African American woman walks away with the ‘Best Actress’ primetime Emmy, other coveted categories are looking just as good for some of entertainment’s leading ladies.
‘Telephone’ duo Lady Gaga and Beyonce are considered frontrunners in their respective categories while fellow pop diva Katy Perry‘s ‘Super Bowl’ outing – like Bey and Bruno Mars before her, nabbed a mention in this year’s ‘Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program’ category.

That’s cool, hopefully she’ll win.
The tonys , globes , oscars and Beyoncé and Jay Z? They don’t even need Oscar , grammies , globes no more . They are the f****** program themselves . Boss s***
And I love love love Cookie, Taraji and the whole show and also Viola but come tell me Kerry Washington doesn’t deserve that award first ! She’s been robbed of that just like Leonardo DiCaprio of some Oscars . BS
Leo has never been robbed. He just happens to get nominated during heavily competitive years. The only year that’s a bit suspect is 2005 when he lost for his role in Aviator despite winning the Golden Globe.
What is this stan bait? They’re not even competing against each other.
That being said, Katy’s halftime show had spectacular production, so I think she might win. C2C will likely lose to SNL. Hard to tell whether OTR will win Special Class Program.
Well I know which show that no one tuned into. #888K
Biitch shut the fuckkk up keri kween we didnt forget about your trolling ignorant motherless crack baby ass so tread lightly
You sound so stupid. Fall back before you and your feelings get hurt. Career Ender!
Yawn mark dont do it tread lightly sis you dont want to rumble with me
Ooops Beyrihliyah are you threatening him?
@molly lmaooo stop being messy mark got a dragging coming
@BeyRih girl im just shocked yall fighting kii yall both love Rihanna and liyah down.
I never had a problem with him, he been talking ish. Why, because I dissed Beyonce? You clearly have an issue with my opinion because you don’t come for the Rihanna haters, the same haters you side with. Maybe because you’re just a pest in Rih and aaliyah gear. I can tell that you’re Career Ender, so back off and troll else where.
Oop.
Who are all these people?
Katy’s production team should win. Her visuals were so pretty. That’s the only reason I watch her Halftime show on Youtube.
–
Bey & Jay’s concert was FIRE. I wish I could’ve went tbh. My cousin (and her lil boyfriend) was bragging about how good the show was. Sad, I couldn’t attend.
Stfu with all that fagatry.
Hey Fan! Keep stalking me.
Wait a min, so MARK’S Keri queen!?!? LOL
Kii how did I forget? No wonder Bird Bîtch had my two year old comment bookmarked from last night.
don’t worry about other trolls wen u r 1 ur damn self…
@ Sip tea, b**** go sip on your father’s pre c_m, now exit.
Girl not Beyrihliyah and Mark fighting yall both have two of the same favs.
I cant wait to see ci new video im starting to like her
Same boo!!! She’s bout to slay us. Glad you’re warming up to her hun.
Not you kissing Molly’s sour milk ass.
@brandy stan aka alien vs predator stan get the fuckkk out of my reply box before you be the next person that will be having a dragging coming its way
Katy is about to win her first Emmy for her iconic Superbowl show. She deserves it too, she pulled out all the big guns. When Katy wins her Emmy the tired and stale Grammyless drag will become obsolete. Then what will you all cling to? Katy is slaying even off season. First female to reach a billion views with a music video, first artist ever to have two videos reach 1 billion and soon to be Emmy winner. That Katy Perry reign just won’t let up!
She’ll be dragged for her non-existent vocals as always.
Hun Katy Perry was not responsible for the spectacle. The production team was. She is so mediocre it is painful to watch. So if that show wins its category it won´t be thanks to her.
Hey @Rosie how are you boo?
Hi bb ????
Honeymoon is growing on me queen. I respect your fav for her artistry boo.
I hope Beyoncé wins OTR was pure FIRE.
Katy should give her award to Missy Elliott if she wins.
I would love to see my Queen and her husband buy this Emmy so these lessors in the comments section will seethe. #TeamCarter
I hope bey and jay win their show was the best
Bey will win. That’s no question. The only question is how bad her slayage will be.
