The 60 Minutes interview featuring Kamala Harris, which President Donald Trump alleges was deceptively edited to favor his Democratic rival and is the subject of his $20 billion lawsuit against CBS, has received an Emmy nomination in the “Outstanding Edited Interview” category. This interview, which aired in October during the 2024 election cycle, is nominated alongside interviews with Celine Dion, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, Pope Francis, and Brittney Griner. However, unlike the others, this nomination is accompanied by a federal investigation and a lawsuit from the sitting president.

CBS has defended the interview, releasing full raw video footage and transcripts to demonstrate that the broadcast "was not doctored or deceitful.” Despite CBS's defense, insiders suggest that its parent company, Paramount Global, is considering settling with Trump, a decision that has reportedly angered some CBS News veterans and led to the departure of executive producer Bill Owens. Trump has continued to criticize 60 Minutes via social media, claiming the show "cheated and defrauded the American People at levels never seen before in the Political Arena." He has not yet commented on the Emmy nomination.

When asked about Aimee Lou Wood, Goggins responded with surprise and discomfort, saying, “Come on buddy. Wow.”
