Bad Bunny won his first Emmy at the opening night of the 2026 Primetime Emmy Awards for the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show, which he headlined and produced. The Spanish-language performance won seven awards, including Outstanding Variety Special (Live), choreography, music direction, sound mixing, lighting, directing, and technical direction and camerawork, making it the most-awarded Super Bowl halftime show in Emmy history. The Traitors followed with six wins, while The Late Show With Stephen Colbert earned five and The Muppet Show won four. Other notable winners included Love on the Spectrum, My Mom Jayne: A Film by Mariska Hargitay, Mr. Scorsese, Tucci in Italy, and Antiques Roadshow, which claimed its first Emmy after 24 nominations.
