‘Cheer’ and ‘Queer Eye’ lead 2nd annual Critics Choice Real TV Awards

Jeff Probst Receives Critics Choice Real TV Impact Award; Netflix Tops Networks with Eight Awards

The Critics Choice Association (CCA) and nonfiction producers’ organization NPACT unveiled today the winners for the second annual Critics Choice Real TV Awards, which recognize excellence in nonfiction, unscripted and reality programming across broadcast, cable and streaming platforms. 

“Cheer” and “Queer Eye” led the winners, each taking home two awards – “Cheer” for Unstructured Series and Male Star of The Year Jerry Harris, and “Queer Eye” for Lifestyle: Fashion/Beauty Show and Ensemble Cast in an Unscripted Series.  The Culinary Show category resulted in a tie, with both “Chopped” and “Top Chef” honored.    

Netflix, which led the networks in nominations, also won the most awards, topping eight categories.  

“Survivor” host and executive producer Jeff Probst received this year’s Critics Choice Real TV Impact Award, for his ongoing contributions to the unscripted television industry.  Probst is a four-time Emmy Award winner for Outstanding Reality Host.  He has traveled the world serving as both host and executive producer for “Survivor,” which won the first-ever Outstanding Non-Fiction Program (Special Class) Emmy Award in 2001.  This year marked the 20th anniversary of “Survivor” and its 40th season.

The honorees for the two peer-voted awards (Outstanding Achievement In Nonfiction Programming By A Network Or Streaming Platform and Outstanding Achievement In Nonfiction Production) are selected by the members of NPACT, the US association for nonfiction production companies. 

While the shows themselves are recognized by critics and the public in the other Real TV Awards categories, these awards celebrate the excellence and innovation that happens behind the scenes to create, develop, produce, and deliver every show to the viewing public.

Each show begins as a creative spark that is fueled by a collaboration between producer and programmer to ultimately become the finished program that’s enjoyed by viewers.  The nonfiction production community has come together, through NPACT, to acknowledge and celebrate the best of their colleagues and collaborators with these two awards.

For the Critics Choice Real TV Awards, Bob Bain and Joey Berlin serve as Executive Producers.  Michelle Van Kempen is Executive Producer for NPACT.

  1. What do you think? What has been your experience with commenting systems? Which one do you use for your blog? Please share your thoughts and experience in the comments!

  2. These are so frustrating, I wished I could use the native system within WordPress, but it doesn’t seem to “do” enough. Disqus has become wonderfully bloated, and if you try their advertising model, you get a page full of junk. There must be more than 3 options. If you go native the spam will make you insane. I wished there were more options discussed here
    There are other comment platform systems – these are the ones that most people end up on after testing others though. Unfortunately, spam is going to get you no matter what you use. Even Moz, where they have their own platform, gets a rash of spammy comments per post.

  3. Hopefully Kristi won’t mind me jumping in here to say that the free GrowMap antispambot plugin (GASP) works best for me. Without it, my blog was getting 1000+ spam comments a day. The day I installed it they dropped to 40 and most of those were real. 100% of them were manually created.
    Thanks, Ann. What I love most is when I comment on a site for the first time and see they’re using it. The plugin has spread far beyond our usual communities to major sites and blogs in niches I’ve never visited before.

  4. Postmatic allows you to keep your native comment system, and also lets you comment via email. So, you leave a comment, and if someone replies (or leaves a new comment) you get an email notification. You can then just hit Reply to the email to leave a comment (the email becomes the comment).
    Epoch is their “skin” that offers three versions – use your own typography and colours, use Epoch (which is like Disqus), or completely native. It’s super fast too, and very mobile and SEO-friendly.

  5. It would be nice to know what, if any, impact these commenting systems have on SEO. Also, is there a benefit for the commenter? Does one do better with backlinks than others?
    All of these comment systems nofollow links in comments, so there is no benefit for the comment author (except for referral traffic) and there shouldn’t be any harm to your website for linking out to potentially bad sites if you didn’t moderate your comments well.

  6. I actually have no idea, would you help me out?:-/

  8. What many are not able to understand is the constant stress his physique is subjected with races one
    after the other; particularly when we take notice of the trending stamina the newest
    breed of thoroughbred has exhibited. The average Superfecta payout, which takes a bettor to select the very first four finishers in exact order, has become a whopping
    $103,139. It’s a nice method to earn additional cash or if you belong to the lucky few who win regularly,
    but wait, how exactly does one win big in the race track.

  9. Bedrooms especially could consider looking good and feel at ease of course
    we all spend an enormous amount of amount of time in there.
    Don’t be worried about your toddler looking too small for his children’s
    bedroom furniture, because before you want, he’ll grow to suit it.
    Individuals may also want to make sure that they’ve got enough seating alternatives for holidays and other special occasions.
