It didnt get any better for Beyonc after losing top honors to Carpool Karaoke: When Corden Met McCartney Live From Liverpool in the category of Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-recorded).

Though Homecoming and Beyonc had been nominated for a total of six awards, they didnt grab a single one. Beyonc lost the directing nod to Springsteen on Broadway, Outstanding Production Design for a Variety Special to Rent, the writing Emmy to Hannah Gadsbys Nannette, and Outstanding Music Direction honors to Fosse/Verdon. Homecoming also lost to RuPauls Drag Race for Outstanding Costumes for Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Programming.

Homecoming combined footage from Beyoncs 2018 Coachella concert featuring the singer and 100 other performers with behind-the-scenes footage providing an intimate look at the world of a performer.

Beyonc didnt attend the first night of the two-night awards ceremony at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. It will air on FXX Sept. 21, ahead of the Primetime Emmy Awards telecast on Fox the following night.
