| Just How Much Will Beyoncé Dominate This Awards Season? - Vanity Fair Posted: 16 Jul 2019 12:03 PM PDT  On Tuesday, Beyoncé's Homecoming—a documentary about her headlining 2018 Coachella performance—earned six Emmy nominations, including outstanding variety special (pre-recorded), outstanding directing (for Beyoncé and co-director Ed Burke), outstanding music direction, outstanding writing for a variety special, outstanding production design, and outstanding costumes. It's a strong, expected turnout for the engrossing Netflix special, and for Beyoncé herself—who has been nominated for Emmys in the past, but has yet to win one. With the combined power of Homecoming and the upcoming Lion King remake set to hit theaters (and, later, the film-awards race) this week, one thing is certain—Beyoncé just might become a dominant force during this year's awards season. Let's back up and start with Homecoming. This is Beyoncé's fourth time tangling with the TV Academy, after past Emmy-nominated efforts including her 2013 Super Bowl Halftime Show, her HBO special, On the Run Tour: Beyoncé and Jay-Z, and her visual album, Lemonade, also released on HBO. Surprise-released in April, Homecoming is a behind-the-scenes look at Beyoncé's creative process leading up to Coachella, splicing never-before-scene concert footage with illuminating rehearsal clips and vulnerable narration. It's also a Netflix release, which means that—presumably!—the special will be getting a robust push from the aggressive, awards-hungry streamer. What that means for Beyoncé in terms of campaigning remains to be seen, as the performer is famously opposed to interviews and media appearances unless she is curating them herself. Perhaps she'll reinvent the awards-season scramble, skipping interview opportunities in favor of tasteful FYC events and strategic releases—like, say, a previously unreleased song from the Homecoming era or a new music video—around the time the Emmys' voting window starts to close. At the very least it seems possible that Beyoncé might actually attend this year's Emmys. Considering the strong nomination haul for Homecoming, there's potential for the Grammy-winning singer to pick up her first statuette, though the Coachella special faces some tough competition in certain categories (perennial variety-category winners like James Corden and specials like the Oscars are in this year's mix). But strategically speaking, an appearance at the Emmys might also serve a dual purpose for the Grammy-winning entertainer. The high-profile September awards show will flow neatly into the fall campaigning circuit for The Lion King, which will certainly be part of this year's Oscar race. While the film's chances at categories like best picture or best animated feature remain to be seen (this is a remake of a movie everyone's already seen, after all), it seems highly likely that Beyoncé's new song for the film, "Spirit," will be a best-original-song contender. The Grammy winner has never won an Oscar before, but with her lead role as Nala, her new song, and her accompanying Lion King album—titled The Lion King: The Gift—this is her biggest swing since Dreamgirls for an Academy Award. As with the Emmys, it's unclear if Beyoncé will actually pop up at all the usual pitstops on the awards circuit, but she will probably figure out her own Bey-esque ways to fend off the competition. It probably wouldn't surprise anyone if Oscar producers are already figuring out a way to get Beyoncé to perform at the awards show. If last year's ceremony—which opened with a performance by Queen and Adam Lambert, and peaked with a swoon-worthy performance from Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper—proved anything, it's that big musical numbers can be a ratings savior. Landing a performance from the biggest musical star on the planet for the 2020 Oscars, if possible, is a next-step no-brainer. |

| The Best Twitter Reactions to Beyoncé's Rare Televised ABC Interview - ELLE.com Posted: 16 Jul 2019 12:40 PM PDT  Beyoncé is basically the queen of everything, and that includes privacy. The singer rarely gives interviews or a look into her life as Beyoncé™, but she's making an exception for The Lion King press tour. She'll sit down with GMA's Robin Roberts tonight at 8 P.M. to talk about her new song for the film, "Spirit," and her role as the iconic character Nala. "This soundtrack is a love letter to Africa and I wanted to make sure we found the best talent from Africa, and not just use some of the sounds and did my interpretation of it," Bey told ABC News. "I wanted it to be authentic to what is beautiful about the music in Africa," she said, adding that they used "all these incredible new sounds mixed with some of the producers from America." Beyoncé also explained the important role the soundtrack plays in the film. "We've kind of created our own genre, and I feel like the soundtrack, it becomes visual in your mind," she went on. "It's a soundscape. It's more than just the music, because each song tells the story of the film." The announcement threw the Beyhive into a frenzy, with many shocked that Queen B is blessing us with a new music video AND an interview. Here, the best Twitter reactions to Beyoncé's rare sit-down. |

| Has Beyonce Acted in Anything Before 'Lion King'? - Showbiz Cheat Sheet Posted: 16 Jul 2019 07:20 AM PDT Having Beyoncé involved in the new CGI photorealistic The Lion King is such a huge event that many might assume it's her first real and true Hollywood "debut." It isn't, but it's certainly a highlight of her film career so far unless you include her music videos as essentially short films. As far as feature films are concerned, Beyonce has done more than you think as an actress and a voice-over artist. She hasn't done a feature film in six years, though, unless you count her documentary Homecoming from last year. Those of you just now catching up on her acting career might be surprised to learn she was more into comedy at one time. It wouldn't hurt to see her re-nurture this after Lion King. Beyonce's debut movie project was a musical No doubt the entire first half of Beyoncé's film career has been virtually forgotten by more casual fans. Some of you may not remember Beyonce landed on the big screen first in a 2001 direct-to-video musical adaptation called Carmen: A Hip Hopera. While she was the lead in this, it was two years before she became a phenomenon as a solo artist. Most of the public still knew she'd be a big star while part of Destiny's Child. Going into the movies first might have spread the idea she was gunning for an acting career ahead of creating music. Eventually, she realized putting the latter before the former would be a smarter strategy, including integrating the two as other iconic artists have. Even before this occurred, she decided giving comedy a try could be one of the best ways of getting her acting skills noticed. The good news is she was not bad at comedy. The comedy phase of Beyonce's careerA year before Beyonce won that giant barrel of Grammys for her first solo album (Crazy in Love), she was co-starring with Mike Myers in Austin Powers in Goldmember. As a second sequel in the Austin Powers franchise, Beyoncé played Foxxy Cleopatra as a parody of Bond Girls and Austin's new sidekick. If you remember back to this movie, you'll remember how easily she fit in, despite setting such a serious persona in the music industry. Back then, she was more open to showcasing a comedic image without the worry of maintaining music superstardom. Not to be undeterred proving herself as a dramatic actress either, she appeared in The Fighting Temptations a year later, outside of really being a comedy. The Pink Panther (co-starring with Steve Martin) was the last time we saw her in a live-action comedy film. She went in a new direction through the end of the 2000s, co-starring in three drama films and a couple of documentaries. Beyonce appeared in music-related dramasTwo drama films where Beyoncé made some memorable turns was in 2006's Dreamgirls and 2008's Cadillac Records. Both of these were more or less biographical stories, with the former being the only fictional one. Only in the 2009 Obsessed did Beyonce turn in a straight dramatic acting performance as part of an ensemble. Some think one pivotal dramatic scene where Beyonce's character confronts her husband (Idris Elba) about cheating is straight out of later reality when dealing with Jay-Z's infidelity. Maybe this movie spooked her because she hasn't made a fictional movie drama since. Since then, she's only done voice work in the CGI-animated film Epic, made Homecoming, then sprinted into voicing Nala in The Lion King. Will Beyoncé do more acting now?Despite mixed reviews about The Lion King remake, the soundtrack offerings she's provided with Donald Glover are through the roof as proof of how album tie-ins can help a film's box office fortunes. The Lion King will still likely make millions, opening the doors for Beyonce to do more movies, albeit at a very high asking price. Then again, a new generation may be so enamored of her playing Nala, she may have to become Nala at all her live shows, essentially giving her the first taste of movie stereotypes. Appearing in a live-action comedy again poking fun at herself would be the best remedy. |
