Beyonce is nominated for outstanding directing for a variety special with “Lemonade,” which she shares with co-director Kahlil Joseph. “Lemonade” is also up for outstanding picture editing for a variety special and production design for a variety, nonfiction, event or award special.

Adele’s special aired on NBC last year and featured live performances of songs from her earth-shattering comeback album, “25.” It will also compete for outstanding directing for a variety special; lighting direction for a variety special; and technical direction, camerawork, video control for a limited series, movie or special.
