Emmys will include reality TV in two new nonfiction categories.
A vote Wednesday by The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences resulted in the approval of two new categories that will allow reality TV shows to compete for an Emmy. Nonfiction programming (reality) will recognize “programming that depicts people and/or events in dramatic circumstances with the primary intent to entertain,” as Variety quotes the Academy’s guidelines. That includes Making the Band, Popstars and even Temptation Island—shows that do not include a prize or a game show component. Those shows, including Survivor, The Mole and Big Brother, will be included in the nonfiction programming (special class) category.
