Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl himself was also nominated for Directing for Nonfiction Programming. “Sonic Highways” is also nominated for Sound Editing and Sound Mixing for Nonfiction Programming.

“Montage of Heck,” which also debuted on HBO, is the first fully authorized documentary about late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. That documentary picked up seven Emmy nominations, including for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special. The film’s director Brett Morgen is nominated for Outstanding Writing and Directing for Nonfiction Programming. “Montage of Heck” is also nominated in Cinematography, Picture Editing, Sound Editing and Sound Mixing for Nonfiction Programming.
