This story about Lizzo and “Lizzo’s Watch Out for the Big Grrrls” first appeared in the Down to the Wire: Comedy issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
Music superstar Lizzo may have a shelf full of Grammys, a BET Award, a Billboard Award and countless other global honors, but getting six Emmy nominations for her Prime Video reality dance competition series “Lizzo’s Watch Out For The Big Grrrls” was still a really, really “big” deal for the artist.
“Are you f—ing kidding me? I was absolutely blown away,” she told TheWrap when asked about the nods, which include the Outstanding Competition Program one that made her show the first series to be nominated for its debut season in 16 years.
