While the Television Academy continue to snub Survivor in the category for Oustanding Reality Competition Program, because they have to nominate The Amazing Race for the 1000th time, the long-running CBS show has picked up three nominations at the 2017 Emmy Awards.
The entire list of nominees for the 69th Emmy Awards ceremony was revealed yesterday and Survivor is represented in three separate categories. The first two nominations are for technical achievements, Outstanding Cinematography For A Reality Program and Outstanding Picture Editing For A Structured Or Competition Reality Program. Survivor received nominations in these same categories in 2016 for their Cambodia and Kaoh Rong seasons. The third nomination is for Outstanding Casting For A Reality Program – the first time such a category has existed.
Last fall’s double episode premiere of Survivor: Game Changers, “The Stakes Have Been Raised,” picked up the nomination for Outstanding Cinematography for a Reality Program. The season, which featured a cast of all returning players, was filmed in Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands. Fans will remember the premiere mostly for the legendary showdown between Survivor icons Sandra Diaz-Twine and Tony Vlachos.
The second nomination for Outstanding Picture Editing for a Structured or Competition Reality Program goes to Survivor: Millennials vs. Gen X‘s episode “About To Have A Rumble.” Viewers will remember this episode for the emotional family visit where eventual winner Adam Klein received an update on his mother’s health from his brother Evan. Adam’s mom had lung cancer at the time and sadly passed away just hours after the 26-year-old returned home.
The final nomination goes to Survivor casting director Lynne Spiegel Spillman for Outstanding Casting For A Reality Program. The Emmys have always included awards for casting in scripted TV shows and movies, but this marks the first time Reality Television has been represented in this particular category. Spillman has been with Survivor from the very beginning and continues to find all sorts of weird and wonderful people to throw on the island. The Television Academy didn’t specify which season the nomination pertains to, but one would assume it covers the Millennials vs. Gen X and Game Changers cycle.
