John Legend and wife Chrissy Teigen could also both celebrate Emmy wins at the 2018 awards; he is nominated for his first Emmy for Best Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his title role in NBC's Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, his first major acting performance, while Lip Sync Battle, which features Teigen as a presenter, is nominated for Best Structured Reality Program for the third year in a row.
If Legend wins an Emmy, he will become the 13th person to achieve EGOT status.
