"Weird Al" Yankovic and Ed Sheeran Triumph with Emmy Wins for 'Weird' Biopic and 'Ted Lasso'

Originally Published 2 years ago — by Rolling Stone

"Weird Al" Yankovic won his first-ever Emmy for Outstanding Television Movie with his biopic "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story," starring Daniel Radcliffe. The film, which Yankovic co-wrote and produced, triumphed over several other nominees at the 2023 Creative Arts Emmys. Despite missing out on the Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics award, Yankovic celebrated his win humorously by visiting In-N-Out Burger and expressed excitement about being halfway to achieving an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony). He is also nominated for Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie.
