All that remains is for the 38-year-old musician, actor and producer to win an Emmy -- and that may not be too hard.

As with his Tony for co-producing Jitney, Legend has quite a bit of experience producing television shows, including the music docu-series Sing It On and the recently-cancelled but critically acclaimed WGN historical drama Underground.
