"He beat out fellow nominees Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez for "The Ballad of the Witches' Road" ( Agatha All Along), Nicholas Britell and Tony Gilroy for "We Are the Ghor (Planetary Anthem)" ( Andor), Adam Sandler and Dan Bulla for "Adam Sandler's Song: 50 Years" ( SNL50: The Anniversary Special), and Sean Douglas, Kristen Wiig, and Josh Greenbaum for "Harper and Will Go West" ( Will & Harper)."
"Lennertz's award is not to be confused with Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score), which Theodore Shapiro won for Severance, nor Outstanding Music Composition for a Limited or Anthology Series, Movie, or Special (Original Dramatic Score), which went to Mick Giacchino for The Penguin. Plenty of musicians were nominated for Emmy Awards this year, including Kendrick Lamar, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Kamasi Washington, Caroline Shaw, Hamilton Leithauser, Mark Ronson, Hans Zimmer, Devo co-founder Mark Mothersbaugh, and the Roots' Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson."
Christopher Lennertz won the 2025 Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics for "Let's Put the Christ Back in Christmas" from The Boys. He prevailed over nominees Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez ("The Ballad of the Witches' Road"), Nicholas Britell and Tony Gilroy ("We Are the Ghor (Planetary Anthem)"), Adam Sandler and Dan Bulla ("Adam Sandler's Song: 50 Years"), and Sean Douglas, Kristen Wiig, and Josh Greenbaum ("Harper and Will Go West"). The win marks Lennertz's first Emmy and third nomination. Separate composition awards went to Theodore Shapiro (Severance) and Mick Giacchino (The Penguin). Numerous prominent musicians received nominations, and Kendrick Lamar recently won a Creative Emmy for Outstanding Music Direction.
