BeyoncéAriana GrandeSelena 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.

Rilo Kiley’s Jenny Lewis marks turning 50 with playful dog wedding

Rilo Kiley‘s Jenny Lewis marked her 50th birthday in unusual fashion – by marrying her dog.

On Thursday (January 8), Lewis celebrated her birthday by marrying her cockapoo, Bobby Rhubarb, the dog recognisable to fans of her 2021 single ‘Puppy And A Truck’, in which she sings about the” unconditional love” she feels for him.

According to Stereogum, Morgan Nagler and Farmer Dave Scher performed at the nuptials, while Lewis sang the Postal Service’s ‘Such Great Heights’ alongside Ben Gibbard and Phantom Planet’s ‘California’ with Alex Greenwald for guests at the wedding party.

Later taking to social media to share pictures of her vintage white dress and birthday cake, Lewis shared news with fans by declaring: “i married my dog for my 50th birthday…
BLESS!”.

She went on to repost well wishes from fans, one of whom wished the couple “Muzzle Tov”.

 

 

Last year, Lewis and co. took the ‘Sometimes When You’re On, You’re Really Fucking On Tour’ across the US, marking their first extended run of shows since 2008, although they did play a one-off gig for a livestream benefit in 2021.

The final date in the run came on October 18 at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre, and saw Waxahatchee – aka Katie Crutchfield – serve as the opening act, having been a self-confessed superfan of the group.

Together, they sang ‘With Arms Outstretched’, a fan favourite track from Rilo Kiley’s second album ‘The Execution Of All Things’, released in 2002

News of the comeback followed Jenny Lewis telling NME in 2019 that she was open to getting the band back together. Then, in 2023 the singer spoke to us again about the prospect of a Rilo Kiley reunion, dismissing immediate hopes by saying: “I’ve got a lot on my plate […] We’re not talking about it, but it’s not off the table.”

Although live shows have been few and far between since 2011, Rilo Kiley did reissue their 1999 self-titled debut album in 2020 and made it available on streaming services for the first time.
