Can the pop icon win an EMMY come September?
48 hours after Lady Gaga was 'born' on the Grammy's, HBO made a special announcement revealing it will air a concert special featuring her elaborate act on May 7th. The title says it all -- "Lady Gaga Presents: The Monster Ball Tour At Madison Square Garden." HBO's entertainment president Sue Naegle, expressed, calling Lady Gaga "the single most exciting music talent on the scene today.”Taping on Feb. 21 and 22, the special made for TV movie gigs at the famed venue and then create "unique new elements" for the TV edition. The special will be directed by Lauriann Gibson who helmed Lady Gaga's Grammy-winning video "Bad Romance" as well as her film versions of "Poker Face," "Paparazzi," "Telephone," and "Alejandro."
The EMMYS have eliminated the individual achievement in a variety program award in 2009. Principal performers, such as Lady Gaga, are now included among the nominees for the specials themselves. Since the start of the new millenium, at least one musical show has usually contended in this category. Among the singing showcases to win were "Tony Bennett: An American Classic" (2007); "Elaine Stritch: At Liberty" (2004); and "Cher -- The Farewell Tour" (2003).
