Superstars who entered the 73rd Emmy Awards in the music categories came up short. To name some: H.E.R., Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Sara Bareilles, Dolly Parton and Cher.

However, voting favored familiar composers, songwriters, music directors and music supervisors within the scoring community.

Variety reported:

“The biggest musical names nominated were Marcus Mumford for the theme for ‘Ted Lasso,’ Grammy president-CEO Harvey Mason Jr. for ‘Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist,’ jazzman Branford Marsalis for a History Channel documentary, two-time Oscar winners Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez for their hummable songs for ‘WandaVision,’ and Tony winner Marc Shaiman for a song on a YouTube special.”
