Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez and more music stars could become 2025 Primetime Emmy nominees. And you can find out if they make it or not at the very same moment they do – on Tuesday (July 15) at 11:30 a.m. ET/8:30 a.m. PT, when the Television Academy unveils the nominations for the 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

To watch the nominations livestream, head to this page on the Television Academy site or watch the livestream on YouTube.

What We Do in the Shadows star Harvey Guillén and Running Point star Brenda Song will reveal the nominees alongside TV Academy chair Cris Abrego in a ceremony at the academy’s Wolf Theater in Los Angeles. (The ceremony is held at a much more civilized hour than the Oscar nominations reveal is each year. To watch that, West Coasters have to get up at 5:30 a.m. PT.)

Beyoncé could be well-represented in the nominations. Her Netflix special Beyoncé Bowl has a good chance of being nominated for outstanding variety special (live), where it could face the 2025 Grammy Awards – where Queen Bey finally won her first award for album of the year.

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, who were nominated for Oscars earlier this year for their performances in Wicked, could be competing against each other for outstanding guest actress in a comedy series. Erivo is eligible with Poker Face; Grande with Saturday Night Live.

Selena Gomez is likely to be nominated for outstanding comedy series for the fourth year in a row as an executive producer of Only Murders in the Building. She could also be nominated for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for the second year in a row.

Many other programs featuring top music stars have a shot at nominations in various categories. An Evening With Elton John and Brandi Carlile could be nominated for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded). Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band (Hulu) could be nominated for outstanding documentary special.

The 2025 Primetime Emmy Awards are set to air on Sept. 14 at 8 p.m./5 p.m. PT on CBS and stream live and on demand on Paramount+. Comedian Nate Bargatze is set to host the show, which will be held at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles. Bargatze has yet to be nominated for a Primetime Emmy, but he was nominated for a Grammy in 2022 for best comedy album for The Greatest Average American.

The September ceremony will be produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment (Jesse Collins, Dionne Harmon, and Jeannae Rouzan-Clay) for the third consecutive year.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Land Over $300 Million From Catalog Sale

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have reportedly sold their recorded music catalog to Warner Music Group in a massive deal valued at more than $300 million.

The agreement arrives five years after the legendary rock band sold their publishing rights in a separate deal worth around $150 million. According to reports from The Hollywood Reporter and Billboard, the band’s recorded catalog, which includes 13 studio albums and nine releases distributed through Warner Music Group, was officially acquired on Friday for more than double the amount of the earlier publishing sale.

The acquisition is said to be part of a much larger partnership between Warner Music Group and Bain Capital. Together, the companies have reportedly spent around $650 million acquiring music and publishing assets, with the Red Hot Chili Peppers catalog making up nearly half of that total. Details regarding the remaining acquisitions have not yet been disclosed.

Back in May 2021, the Red Hot Chili Peppers sold their publishing rights to Hipgnosis Songs Fund for approximately $150 million. However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, those rights could soon change hands again as Hipgnosis, now operating under the name Recognition Music Group, is currently being acquired by Sony Music as part of another multi billion dollar transaction.

The band’s recorded catalog had reportedly been available on the market since last year with an asking price close to $350 million. Warner Music Group was widely viewed as the most natural buyer considering the label has worked with the band since the release of 1991’s Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Before joining Warner, the group’s first four albums were released through EMI.

Financially, the catalog remains extremely valuable, reportedly generating around $26 million in annual revenue. Ownership of the recordings had remained with the band prior to this latest agreement.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers most recently released Unlimited Love and its companion album Return of the Dream Canteen in 2022. At the time of reporting, neither the band nor Warner Music Group had publicly commented on the catalog acquisition.
