Today, the announcements were made for the nominations for this year’s Emmy Awards. Reality TV has come a long way over the past ten years. They now play a large part in the TV Programming that’s offered and the awards shows take them very seriously. It’s a great thing for reality show fans, like us. 
This year, the usual suspects got a lot of Emmy attention. But we have to wait for the Emmy Awards Show to air on CBS on September 20 to find out who wins. Here are all the reality show nominations. I highlighted the nominations for the series I cover on this blog in blue:
