The highly anticipated Emmy nominations for the 75th Emmy Awards have been announced, and among the exciting categories is the battle between two popular reality competition programs: The Voice and RuPaul’s Drag Race. Both shows have garnered immense popularity and have consistently entertained audiences worldwide.
Which Show Will Do Better At The Emmys?
In the category of Outstanding Reality Competition Program, the nominations include perennial favorites like The Amazing Race, Survivor, and Top Chef. However, the two frontrunners in this category are undeniably The Voice and RuPaul’s Drag Race. Both shows have captivated viewers with their unique formats and talented contestants, making it a tough call to determine who will win this award.
While the Outstanding Reality Competition Program category showcases the overall success of both shows, it’s worth exploring the individual performances recognized by the Emmys. The Voice features host and beloved personality Carson Daly, who has charmed audiences with his wit and charisma. Aside Daly last season was show veteran, Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, and newcomers Niall Horan and Chance The Rapper.
Meanwhile, RuPaul’s Drag Race presents the talented and charismatic RuPaul, who also serves as the host and mentor to the aspiring drag queens on the show. We’ve seen Drag Queens galore since this series began in 2009, each season of the show is more entertaining than the last.
With nominations across multiple categories, both The Voice and RuPaul’s Drag Race have shown their influence on television. While the ultimate winners will be revealed on the night of the 75th Emmy Awards, it is clear that both shows have made a remarkable impact on the reality competition genre and have earned their places among the nominees.
