RuPaul’s Drag
Race has finally been nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Reality Series.
While host
RuPaul nabbed the prize last year, the show itself after 11 seasons has not
been nominated for the award.
Drag Race is
facing Amazing Race, Ninja Warrior, Project Runway, Top Chef and The Voice.
When Ru picked
up his Emmy last year, he said: ‘Earlier this year I was quoted saying I’d
rather have an enema than an Emmy.
‘But thanks to
the Television Academy, I can have both!’
RuPaul is also
nominated for Best Host. He is facing off against Snoop Dogg, for Martha and
Snoop’s Potluck Dinner Party, Gordon Ramsay, for Masterchef Junior, Alec
Baldwin, for Match Game, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn, for Project Runway, and W
Kamau Bell, for United Shades of America with W Kamau Bell.
Drag Race is
also nominated for Best Casting for a Reality Program, Outstanding Costumes for
a Reality Program (for Oh, My Gaga!), Outstanding Picture Editing for a Reality
Program and Outstanding Makeup for a Reality Program (Oh My Gaga!). Delta Work
is also nominated for Best Hairstyling.
Untucked is
also nominated for Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program, alongside
Gaycation with Ellen Page.
This is eight
nominations in all.
In other
categories, bisexual actress Evan Rachel Wood has been nominated for lead
actress for Westworld while Modern Family has another nod for the top comedy
series award. Lily Tomlin is also up for comedy actress, while Jeffrey Tambor
is being rewarded for Transparent. Billy on the Street also has a nod for
Outstanding Variety Sketch series.
The Emmys will
be hosted by Stephen Colbert and will air on 17 September.
