NBC’s The Voice, Hairspray Live! and Hulu’s The Beatles: Eight Days a Week are among the music shows packing a big Emmy presence outside the composing categories. The singing competition show was the big standout with nine nominations as it heads into its thirteenth season, while the John Waters tuner about racial tolerance in the ’60s styled seven, including technical direction for the dozen-plus camera live telecast.  And Fox’s Super Bowl LI Halftime Show Starring Lady Gaga spiked  it in the end zone, competing in six categories. Dolly Parton received notice in the highly competitive television movie category for her Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love NBC special.
