After being awarded for her successes in music, film and TV, Lady Gaga can now add sports to the list: She took home the Emmy for Outstanding Music Direction at the 46th Annual Sports Emmy Awards, bringing her one letter closer to completing the prestigious EGOT.
Gaga won the award for her touching performance of "Hold My Hand" in New Orleans, Louisiana, ahead of Super Bowl LIX. The pre-recorded performance served as a tribute to numerous tragic events that happened in the United States, including the New Orleans terror attack, Hurricane Helene hitting North Carolina and the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles.
Rewatch the Emmy-winning performance below:
She shares the Emmy with co-producers Seth Dudowsky, Bill Richards, Joel Santos, Jesse Weiss and Brad Zager. Joe Nargi is listed as the music editor.
By adding an Emmy Award to her collection, Gaga is now only one award away from completing the "EGOT," which is designated to performers who have won all four of the major performing art awards: Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Awards. She only needs a Tony Award, which is awarded for excellence in live Broadway theatre.
This marks Gaga's first Emmy Award win, but it's her fifth nomination. She was nominated for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special for "Lady Gaga Presents the Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden" and "Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga: Cheek to Cheek Live!" in 2011 and 2015, respectively. Her Super Bowl LI Halftime Show received a nod in 2017 for Outstanding Special Class Program, and in 2022, she was nominated for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) for "One Last Time: An Evening with Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga."
