Pop Stars on SNL: Emmy Consideration and Exclusions

Pop Stars on SNL: Emmy Consideration and Exclusions

Some of the famous pop stars who hosted Saturday Night Live last season have been submitted for consideration for an Emmy Award. Out of the 20 hosts, NBC has submitted 11 for the categories of guest comedy actor and actress. Ariana Grande and Olivia Rodrigo are in the running for guest comedy actress, while Harry Styles and Bad Bunny are up for guest comedy actor. Unfortunately, Sabrina Carpenter, Miles Teller, Matt Damon, Finn Wolfhard, Nikki Glaser, and Glen Powell were not submitted for consideration.

Ariana and Olivia's episodes were among the highest-rated of the season, with Harry also drawing in strong ratings. However, high ratings were not the only criteria for submission, as some hosts with high ratings were not included. Bad Bunny kicked off the season in October, Sabrina hosted later that month, Ariana's episode aired in December, Harry did double duty in March, and Olivia hosted in May.

In conclusion, while some famous pop stars who hosted SNL last season have been submitted for Emmy consideration, others, including Sabrina Carpenter, were not included in the list of nominees. The decision to submit certain hosts was based on various criteria, including ratings and other factors.
