The concert on August 26, at The Palace of Auburn Hills, was filmed professionally and broadcast live on HBO as "Madonna Live: The Drowned World Tour". It marked the third time Madonna worked with the network following the Blond Ambition and broadcasts; Nancy Geller, senior VP of original programming for HBO, stated that "it's a thrill for us to have Madonna back, because we know it is going to be a spectacular show, with that combination of her amazing talent and extravagant style". Hamish Hamilton directed the special, while production was in charge of Marty Callner. It scored 5.7 million viewers, and became the network's third-highest-rated prime-time concert special since 1997. It received two nominations at the 54th Primetime Emmy Awards: Outstanding Costumes for a Variety, Nonfiction, or Reality Programming and Outstanding Choreography, and won Best TV Concert at the 2002 AOL TV Viewer Awards.
