· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Bad Bunny's halftime show at the Super Bowl received nine nominations on Wednesday at the 78th Emmy Awards, making it the most nominated halftime show in the history of the championship. The Puerto Rican artist's performance is nominated in several categories recognizing the best variety programs for its production design, choreography, direction, hairstyling, lighting design, musical direction, sound mixing, technical direction, and best camera work. Additionally, it competes for the award for best live variety special. Furthermore, the episode of Saturday Night Live hosted by the artist in October 2025 is nominated for best makeup in a variety, nonfiction, or reality program at this year's Emmys. In his much-discussed Super Bowl performance, where the Seattle Seahawks faced the New England Patriots, Bad Bunny asserted that America is the entire continent, not just the United States, showcasing all the flags of the region. The singer closed his concert with the chant 'God bless America!' while holding a football that read 'Together we’re America' and parading with the flags and names of each country from the continent, from Chile to Canada. This show has now set the record for the most Emmy nominations for a Super Bowl halftime performance, a record previously held by Lady Gaga since 2017, who was also nominated today for an Emmy for the song 'The Dead Dance' from the series 'Wednesday.'
