RuPaul Wins Emmy Award For Outstanding Host Of A Reality-Competition Show

From Yahoo News:

Truth be told, the first-time nominee had reason to feel like an Emmy underdog, since he was representing RuPaul’s Drag Race, a fringe show about drag queens on Logo, a niche LGBT cable network.

But Sunday, on night two of the Creative Arts Emmys held at Los Angeles’s Microsoft Theater, RuPaul surprised everyone — including himself — by winning the Emmy, beating out decidedly mainstream reality hosts Tom Bergeron (Dancing With the Stars), Steve Harvey (Little Big Shots), Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn (Project Runway), Jane Lynch (Hollywood Game Night), and even American Idol’s Ryan Seacrest.

Thank you for the love. I dedicate this win to the 100 queens of #DragRace & to outsiders everywhere. #Emmys https://t.co/4AvXDaySYZ
