At long last, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has created a Reality Peer Group, which has changed the voting process to assure that reality Academy members play a more significant role in selecting the Emmys awarded in the Reality and Reality Competition categories. So with the Emmys out to recognize a wider scope of reality programming, and with established kudos such as our own Realscreen Awards recognizing the myriad sub-genres within the ever-expanding world of reality, how and why does a show pick up such props from peers? What roles do ratings, buzz, production pizzazz and yes, bucks spent on campaigns play in getting the chance to make that well-crafted acceptance speech? Find out from members of reality’s A-list what shows they think should get their due, and peek behind the curtain to find out how they got the hard-earned props that their shows have deserved over the years.
