Beyoncé Got More Emmy Nominations on Her Super Bowl Halftime Show Than Madonna Did

(Getty Images)Beyoncé Knowles seems poised to inch a few steps closer to an EGOT today, as she's scored three Emmy Nominations for her ultra-dramatic halftime show at February's Super Bowl XLVII.

Knowles' performance, which proved so earth-shattering the stadium's lights went out for a good 20 minutes afterwards, was nominated for Outstanding Technical Direction - Camerawork, Video Control For A Miniseries, Movie Or A Special, Outstanding Special Class - Short-Format Live-Action Entertainment Program, and Outstanding Lighting Design - Lighting Direction For A Variety Special.

That's two more nods than last year's Madonna production garnered, although her performance was nominated for Outstanding Lighting Design - Lighting Direction For A Variety Special.

Also sort of (not really) noteworthy: Both women have been sporting grills lately.
