Hold your breath Beyhive, singer-songwriter Beyonce may be heading to the 2019 Emmys!
The 2019 Emmy Awards nominations were recently announced by 'The Good Place' star D'Arcy Carden and 'The Masked Singer' judge Ken Jeong and while many talented actors received praise for their work on the small screen, one A-list singer racked up a few special nominations.
Queen Bey received six nominations for her Netflix special documentary 'Homecoming: A Film by Beyonce', reported E! News.
The Netflix film is nominated for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded), directing, writing, music direction, production design, and costumes. Beyonce would share the award for any of those categories except the last two, being credited as co-director, writer and co-musical director as well as a producer.
And while it's still unknown if the singer will attend the award show scheduled in Los Angeles, fans are already freaking out at the possibility.
For the unversed, the film provided fans with a special look inside Beyonce's historic performance at Coachella music festival in 2018. The special documentary also includes home videos and never-before-seen photos of her family including her husband Jay-Z.
