Adele storms Creative Arts Emmys as Beatles and James Corden also win big for Britain

Adele will need to expand the size of her award cabinet as she has scooped a sting of gongs at the 2022 Creative Arts Emmy.

The 34-year-old chart topping star can add Emmy awards to her endlessly growing list of accolades - to sit nicely alongside her Oscar and multiple Grammy Awards.

On Saturday evening she was honoured in the USA for her special TV show Adele: One Night Only which aired via CBS last year as she prepared to unleash her chart topping album, 30.

Her show was up for five awards - and won all of them.

The on-off special – which saw the singer interact with fans and celebrities while singing a number of her songs - scooped the Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) award; beating Dave Chappelle for his Netflix show The Closer.

She also defeated One Last Time: An Evening with Tony Bennett, Norm Macdonald’s Netflix special, and the Harry Potter 20th anniversary special Return to Hogwarts.

Adele’s show also won Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Variety Series or Special and Outstanding Lighting Design/Lighting Direction.

Director Paul Dugdale was awarded Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special, and the show also nabbed Outstanding Lighting Design/Lighting Direction and Outstanding Technical Direction, Camerawork, Video Control for a Special.

Her wins give her a chance of winning a prestigious title of being an EGOT winner - if she were to perform on the theatrical stage and win a Tony Award as she now has her Emmy and already has a Golden Globe and Oscar.

She won her Golden Globe and Oscar in 2013 for her Bond theme Skyfall - with the specific award being the Best Original Song category at each award ceremony.

Only 17 performers have won an EGOT with Whoopi Goldberg, Audrey Hepburn and Andrew Lloyd Webber among those to hold the title.

More British stars won gongs on Saturday night – with James Corden scooping Outstanding Short Form Comedy, Drama or Variety Series for his Apple TV+ show Carpool Karaoke : The Series.

And The Beatles’ documentary series, The Beatles: Get Back, scooped a number of awards including Outstanding Directing for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program for director Peter Jackson.

While John Oliver’s late night talk show, Last Week Tonight, won Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series - the seventh time in a row that the show has scooped the award.

The main Emmy Awards will be held later this month when A List stars including Donald Glover, Jean Smart, Steve Martin, Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth will battle it out to win a number of 'best actor' categories.

While shows including Better Call Saul, Euphoria and Ozark are up for awards.

The event is due to be held at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday 12 September and is to be hosted by actor and comedian Kenan Thompson.
