‘The Masked Singer’ Enters Emmy Reality Race, Scores First Major Nod For Fox Alternative Entertainment
Peter White Television EditorThe Masked Singer has crashed the Emmy reality race, the first Fox show in this category since So You Think You Can Dance in 2015.The mystery singing competition will go up against last year’s winner RuPaul’s Drag Race, Nailed It!, which broke through last year, Top Chef and The Voice.The category was down to five nominations rather than six as a result of the Emmy rule changes, a move that also hit categories such as sketch and late-night.American Ninja Warrior missed out, having been nominated for the last three years, while regular winner The Amazing Race was not eligible this year due its move in the CBS schedule.
