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
Alec Baldwin, Match Game
W. Kamau Bell, United Shades Of America
RuPaul Charles, RuPaul’s Drag Race
Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn, Project Runway
Gordon Ramsay, MasterChef Junior
Martha Stewart and Snoop Dogg, Martha & Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party
RuPaul already took home the prize for hosting the long-running hit.
Outstanding Reality Show Competition
The Amazing Race
American Ninja Warrior
Project Runway
RuPaul’s Drag Race
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
Full Frontal with Samantha Bee
Jimmy Kimmel Live
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
The Late Late Show with James Corden
Real Time with Bill Maher
A little more turnover here, thanks to the ongoing changes that is the late night landscape. I think John Oliver and his HBO show, Last Week Tonight, certainly deserves the award.
Outstanding Variety Sketch Series
Billy On The Street
Documentary Now!
Drunk History
Portlandia
Saturday Night Live
Tracey Ullman’s Show
Given the election boost, I’m going to give the nod to SNL this time around.
