With the Emmy Awards scheduled for Sunday night, here’s day two of my predictions for the awards, today focusing on reality shows and made for TV movies. I likely have seen not seen most (any?) of these, so I will probably not have an informed decision, but when has that ever stopped me.
Outstanding Reality Show Host
Tom Bergeron, Dancing With the Stars
RuPaul Charles, RuPaul’s Drag Race
Steve Harvey, Little Big Shots starring Steve Harvey
Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn, Project Runway
Jane Lynch, Hollywood Game Night
Ryan Seacrest, American Idol
RuPaul already took home the prize for hosting the long-running Logo hit.
Outstanding Reality Show Competition
The Amazing Race
American Ninja Warrior
Dancing With the Stars
Project Runway
Top Chef
The Voice
The Amazing Race is the usual favorite in this category and I don’t see a reason for that to change this year.
Outstanding Variety Talk Series
Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee
The Late Late Show with James Corden
Jimmy Kimmel Live
Last Week Tonight With John Oliver
Real Time with Bill Maher
The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon
Lots of turnover here, thanks to all of the changes in late night last year. I think John Oliver and his HBO show, Last Week Tonight, certainly deserves the award.
Outstanding Variety Sketch Series
Documentary Now!
Drunk History
Inside Amy Schumer
Key & Peele
Portlandia
Saturday Night Live
I’m guessing that the award is going to go to Amy Schumer.
