2023 Emmy nominations ballot: 67 reality/competition hosts vie for your consideration
Since 2008, the TV academy has honored the work of reality and competition series presenters with the Emmy Award for Best Reality/Competition Host. During this year’s first-round nominations voting period, academy members from eight branches must choose from 67 entries, which is down from 2022’s total of 84 and brings the number of actual nomination slots from six to five.
Included on the 2023 ballot is reigning victor RuPaul, who has prevailed on all seven of his consecutive bids for “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Others seeking repeat victories include Tim Gunn and Heidi Klum (formerly of “Project Runway,” now “Making the Cut”) and Jeff Probst (“Survivor”).
The peer groups able to vote for nominations in this category are casting directors, daytime programming, performers, producers, production executives, professional representatives, reality, and television executives. These voters have until June 26 to choose from the options listed below, and the lineup will be announced on July 12.
