Emmy Song Category Draws Submissions From the Weeknd, Sara Bareilles, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Ronson, Pasek & Paul and Other Big Music Names
Songwriters who've submitted for the Emmys' best song category include the Weeknd, Sara Bareilles, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mark Ronson and Pasek & Paul.
Written by score composers Hans Zimmer and Kara Talve along with producer Walter Afanasieff and lyricist Charlie Midnight, it’s a rare new song release from the now 82-year-old diva. Lin-Manuel Miranda, who already has two Emmys, is a potentially nominee for the Spanish-language “Esperando Pelitos” from Netflix’s animated series “Big Mouth,” while the Weeknd has entered two songs from HBO’s critically lambasted “The Idol” (“One of the Girls,” “World Class Sinner”). NatGeo’s “Genius: MLK / X” is offering three songs: Aloe Blacc’s “Change the World,” Jacob Banks’ “Jericho” and Rhiannon Giddens’ “Home”; all would be first-time nominees if voters decide in their favor.
