Everything from gowns to the diva’s passport were being made available to bid on.

The reason offered? To allow supporters to have a little piece of their idol, who died aged just 48 in 2012.

Per a new report, one item now ineligible for purchase will be Houston’s 1986 Emmy Award.

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.

See who they’ll be competing against below:
