After being nominated for a total of four Emmy Awards, the wide-praised Foo Fighters HBO documentary series, Sonic Highways, took home two awards during last night's Creative Arts ceremony at the 67th Emmy Awards.
The hit series trailed Dave Grohl and company as they recorded their eighth studio album on the road, making pit stops in a total of eight musically influential cities along the way. Last night, the series took home two awards--one being Outstanding Sound Mixing For Nonfiction Programming (Single Or Multi-Camera) and the other, Outstanding Sound Editing For Nonfiction Programming (Single or Multi-Camera). The HBO series beat out Brett Morgen's Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, a fellow documentary film detailing the life and death of the deceased Nirvana front man.
Sonic Highways saw two further nominations for Outstanding Informational Series or Special and Outstanding Directing for Nonfiction Programming. As Rolling Stone notes, Taylor Swift took home her very first Emmy for Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media - Original Interactive Program concerning her AMEX Unstaged: Taylor Swift Experience app.
Earlier in the year, Grohl divulged that there would be a season two of Sonic Highways. In an interview with NME, the front man noted that the second season "might or might not be international... It might only be in England. It might be in England and other places."
"The great thing about the idea, the concept of the project, is that it can be anywhere because every city has some sort of musical history, but I don't know. Of all places in the world England and the UK just seems like it would be shooting fish in a barrel. There's just so f*cking much here," he said.
Last weekend, the Foo Fighters made their anticipated return to the UK at the Milton Keynes Bowl. After being forced to pull out of Glastonbury trailing Dave Grohl's leg injury, the band cancelled their Glastonbury and Wembley Stadium gigs in June.
