Emmys: ‘Shark Tank’ Snaps ‘Queer Eye’s 6-Year Winning Streak To Reclaim Structured Reality Program Crown

ABC’s Shark Tank had been on a roll, winning the Emmy Award for Outstanding Structured Reality Program four times in a row from 2014-2017 before it was dethroned by Queer Eye in 2018. Netflix’s reboot of the popular 2000s Bravo series had dominated the category since, winning every year since its February 2018 launch. (The original Queer Eye For The Straight Guy won in 2004.)

That changed tonight when veteran Shark Tank took back the category, winning it for the fifth time overall and first since 2017. The structured reality program field has been consistent for the past couple of years, with the same five shows getting nominated in 2023 and 2024, Shark Tank, Queen Eye, the category’s mainstay, PBS’s Antiques Roadshow, which is yet to win after a record 22 nominations, Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Netflix’s Love Is Blind.
