Posted on July 14, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Mother Monster’s HBO special will vie for honors at September 18 awards show. By James Montgomery Lady Gaga Photo: Jason Merritt/Getty Images It’s time to break the meat dress out of deep storage, or perhaps polish up the space egg , because Lady Gaga has another awards show to attend. On Thursday morning (July 14), her “Monster Ball Tour at Madison Square Garden” HBO special picked up five Primetime Emmy Award nominations, top-lined by a nod for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special. In that category, Gaga will face off against the annual Kennedy Center Honors telecast and a trio of rather, uh, unique challengers: Carrie Fisher, Bette Midler and Pee-Wee Herman, each of whom earned noms for their respective HBO specials. The “Monster Ball” special also earned a nomination for Outstanding Directing (Gaga’s creative director, Laurieann Gibson, picked up the nod), and three technical noms: Outstanding Technical Direction, Camerawork, Video Control for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special; Outstanding Lighting Design/ Lighting Direction for a Variety, Music or Comedy Special; and Outstanding Picture Editing for a Special. In each of those categories, Gaga will take on the usual spate of awards telecasts (the 83rd Academy Awards, the 53rd Grammy Awards, etc.), not to mention comedians Ricky Gervais and Louis C.K., each of whom earned nods for their comedy specials. Elsewhere, Gaga’s favorite show, “Glee,” was among the most-nominated programs, landing a nod for Outstanding Comedy Series. Stars Jane Lynch and Chris Colfer also earned nominations, as did guest stars Kristin Chenoweth, Dot-Marie Jones and Gwyneth Paltrow. The 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards will air live from Los Angeles on Sunday, September 18, at 8 p.m. ET on Fox. Will you be rooting for Gaga on Emmy night? Tell us in the comments!
