The HBO series "The Idol" was nominated for "Outstanding Choreography for Scripted Programming" for the 76th Emmy Awards, and people believe BLACKPINK's Jennie is the reason why.

Earlier this month, the Television Academy announced the nominations for the 76th Emmy Awards. This prestigious annual television awards ceremony is one of the top four most prestigious awards ceremonies in the United States, often dubbed the "Oscar of television." The awards ceremony honors A-list stars and the most influential shows of the year.

This year's Emmy nomination list includes "The Idol," marking BLACKPINK member Jennie's acting debut. Specifically, "The Idol" was nominated in the category "Outstanding Choreography for a Scripted Show," highlighting the viral dance scene involving Jennie.

"The Idol" features a star-studded cast, including Abel Tesgaye (The Weeknd), Lily-Rose Depp, Troye Sivan, and Jennie. The dance scene in the first episode, performed by Jennie and choreographed by Nina McNeely, immediately went viral after the episode aired. However, the Emmy nomination celebrates the choreography and production team of "The Idol," rather than Jennie herself.

"The Idol" will compete with other notable shows in the same category, such as "Only Murders In The Building," "Palm Royale," and "Physical." Some netizens speculate that "The Idol" has a strong chance of winning the choreography award due to Jennie's performance as Dyanne. With her extensive training and experience as a K-pop idol, Jennie's dance moves in the show captivated viewers.

Many believe that Jennie's dance in the movie is the most memorable moment of the show, drawing significant attention from K-pop fans. Some even argue that "The Idol" received its Emmy nomination largely thanks to Jennie's involvement. Previously, Jennie won the "Best Actress in an International Film" award at the 2024 SEC Awards for her role as Dyanne.

However, this nomination has also sparked controversy. "The Idol" and Jennie's role as Dyanne were seen as controversial points in her career due to the explicit material featured on the show. The female idol faced a wave of criticism for her acting debut, with many fans disapproving of her acting and the over-sexualization of her character. The Emmy-nominated dance scene, in particular, received a barrage of negative comments for its provocative choreography.
