‘The Idol’ Wins Emmy Despite Backlash and Cancellation
The controversial HBO series now officially has more Emmys than critically-acclaimed shows such as 'The Wire' and 'Better Call Saul.'
The Idol may have been one of HBO’s most controversial productions, but the series is now an Emmy winner.
During Sunday’s second night of the 2024 Creative Arts Emmys, the series won the award for outstanding choreography for scripted programming, with choreographer Nina McNeely’s work beating out Only Murders in the Building, Palm Royale and Physical. This means that The Idol, which was canceled after only one season, has more Emmys than critically-acclaimed shows such as The Wire (which was nominated for the Emmys twice) and Better Call Saul (which received a whopping 53 nominations but no wins).
