Leading up to the Emmys, he told Stephen Colbert in June that he "wants everyone to have a good time" and will try to make the show "as lively as fun in the moment."

According to a press release, "juried category entrants are screened by a panel of professionals in the appropriate peer groups (Animation, Costume Design, Emerging Media Programming, and Motion and Title Design) with the possibility of one, more than one or no entry awarded an Emmy."

It adds, "As a result, there are no nominees but instead a one-step evaluation and voting procedure. Deliberations include open discussions of each entrant's work with a thorough review of the merits of awarding the Emmy."

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter was among the winners for outstanding costumes for variety, nonfiction or reality programming for her Netflix special, "Beyoncé Bowl."

She, along with winners in the rest of the juried categories, will be presented their Emmy awards during the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony. It's unclear if Beyoncé will attend just yet.
