Foo Fighters Documentary Series Scores Two Emmy Awards

They already hold a plethora of Grammy Award wins and now US rockers Foo Fighters can add two Emmy gongs to that list, after the boys took home trophies from the Creative Arts Emmys for their 2014 documentary series, Sonic Highways.

The HBO series, directed by frontman Dave Grohl, won the awards for Outstanding Sound Mixing For Nonfiction Programming and Outstanding Sound Editing For Nonfiction Programming.

Both awards were won for the work recognised in the program's Seattle episode. 

Speaking to theMusic about the TV series last year, drummer Taylor Hawkins admitted he was unsure of how the group's massive fan base would respond to the series. 

"You know, it’s so hard for me to even have a point of view," Hawkins said. 

"I mean, I dunno, maybe some people will go, 'Oh, wow! Foo Fighters have an HBO series. Oh, what, are they fuckin’ movie stars now?’ I mean, who knows? Some people will think that, you know. We're obviously not the underdogs anymore necessarily."

Meanwhile pop singer Taylor Swift scored her own Emmy win in the category of Outstanding Creative Achievement In Interactive Media Original Interactive Program for her TV special, AMEX Unstaged: Taylor Swift Experience.
