PureDWTS 2013 Hollywood Reporter Makes Emmy Predictions For The Reality Categories
Hollywood Reporter is making some early predictions for who might win an Emmy in the “Reality” categories!! Note how their analyst, Scott Feinberg, “expects “Dancing with the Stars” and “So You Think You Can Dance” to split the vote of dance fans and allow “The Amazing Race” to win yet again, and “Deadliest Catch” to pick up its second statuette in three years.” (Huh? No, please no! We want Dancing With The Stars to win!) Below is a take about Dancing With The Stars for Scott’s pros and cons….
Dancing With the Stars (ABC)
PRO: The show helped to make dancing cool again by pairing celebs with pros and sending them off to be judged. It has been a bridesmaid in this category every year since 2006 but received a category-leading nine noms this year, including one for host Tom Bergeron (his sixth in a row), last year’s winner.
CON: Two dance shows could split the support of the genre’s fans, and So You Think You Can Dance received four choreography noms versus DWTS’ two.
More at Hollywood Reporter. Let’s hope the predictions keep coming. To see our previous posting on the 2013 Emmy Nominations, visit this link.
I think it makes a difference knowing that the 2 choreo noms are for the SAME PERSON as opposed to 4 different choreographers nominated for SYTYCD. Plus, 3 of those SYTYCD nominated choreographers are for basically the same style (contemporary). Derek’s body of work nominated with his contemporary with Allison will make him stand out, IMO. I am still praying that Derek wins the Emmy this year. No one is more deserving for what he does!
Good luck to Tom, Derek and the rest of DWTS!
Elmari, I hope they do predictions for the categories Derek is nominated in too. That would be so cool.
Dwts submitted their prom episode for consideration. It is going against far superior episodes from Top Chef, Project Runway and Amazing Race. There is a reason TAR almost wins every season.
Tom submitted the episode of the Boston bombings. He should win. He showed that night why he is always the best host on TV.
Who knows about choreo but serious Derek should win. Hope he does!
OMG, did DWTS really submit their prom night episode??? That was just “gawd-awful”; second only to the always dreadful “personal stories week” (or “best year of your life”, as they chose to call it last season to try to put a positive spin on it). This reinforces my belief that TPTB have the combined intelligence of a group of house plants. 🙄
ITA with you Elmaril! Derek has a very diverse group of performances being considered for the Emmy.
IMO- He definitely deserves it. I think this is his year to take it too. Fingers crossed for Derek & Tom.
Cidra, you’re doing the houseplants a great disservice!
Personal Stories week, IMO, was better than prom night. At least some of the stories (Andy,Jacoby) could tug at your heart strings, making it a bit stronger. They should’ve picked feom all stars, either week 3,4, or the team Call Me Maybe individual dances/Team Gangnam Style.
You’re right, Linde, I apologize to the house plants.
I dunno Dwtsfreak, Prom Night was inane and Personal Stories Night was maudlin (as always). That’s kind of six of one, a half dozen of the other for me.
