Three reality shows won 12 of the 24 reality TV Emmys

Netflix’s Queer Eye, CNN’s Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, and VH1’s RuPaul’s Drag Race were the big reality TV winners during the 70th prime-time Emmy awards. The three shows won 11 of the 19 Emmys that went to unscripted shows.

All of the awards were presented at Sunday’s Creative Arts Emmys event except for competition series, which will be presented on the Sept. 17 telecast on NBC. A condensed version of both Saturday and Sunday’s Creative Arts awards will air on FXX Sept. 15 at 8 p.m ET.

Netflix’s Queer Eye won the Emmy in the structured reality show category, and also won an award for editing, plus the second-ever reality TV casting Emmy. (Born This Way won the first reality TV casting Emmy last year.)

Netflix’s Wild Wild Country won the outstanding nonfiction series Emmy.

RuPaul Charles won for the third year in a row for his role as host of RuPaul’s Drag Race, and the show also won awards for directing, costumes, and hairstyling.

CNN’s United Shades Of America With W. Kamau Bell won for the second year in a row in the Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program category.

And CNN’s Parts Unknown won five Emmys, including for writing and outstanding informational series.
