FILE - In this Saturday, June 18, 2016, file photo, President Barack Obama speaks by the Sentinel Bridge in the Yosemite Valley, in front of Yosemite Falls, the highest waterfall in the park, at Yosemite National Park, Calif. In a new project with National Geographic, Obama becomes the first sitting U.S. president to project himself into virtual reality, in this case, a 360-degree representation of Yosemite National Park. The 11-minute VR video, narrated by Obama, is one part paean to the wonders of America’s national parks and one part warning of the threat posed by climate change.

Alongside Obama, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, David Attenborough, W. Kamau Bell, and Lupita Nyong’o are nominated for the Emmy.

This isn't the first time the former president has been recognized for his contributions to entertainment. He already boasts two spoken-word Grammy awards for his work on the audiobooks Dreams From My Father and The Audacity of Hope.

If he does snag the award in September, he'll be halfway to the coveted EGOT status, which occurs when someone wins an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony award. Audrey Hepburn, Mel Brooks, Whoopi Goldberg, Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Legend, and Jennifer Hudson are notable EGOT winners.

The series was produced by the Obamas' own production company, Higher Ground Productions. The first episode, "A World of Wonder,” is what was nominated for the Emmy.
