Editors 2024 Emmy slugfest: Bantering about the reality, variety and special program categories – and whether RuPaul will remain the king

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west - and RuPaul Charles always wins the Emmy for Best Reality Host. A victory for RuPaul for his iconic hit "RuPaul's Drag Race" has literally become as dependable as the behavior of that big ball in the sky. Since 2016, in fact, he hasn't lost, winning the trophy for the category eight consecutive times and gunning for a ninth straight this year. He has, in fact, never lost in the category. Will he keep his perfect record intact? There is alas evidence that this could be the year he finally meets his match. The predictions in Gold Derby still favor RuPaul by a wide margin - but they've been wrong before. To get a better assessment, Gold Derby senior editors Denton Davidson, Daniel Montgomery and Marcus James Dixon and news and features editor Ray Richmond got together to slug it out with their opinions of how the host race will play out along with several other reality, variety and special program categories that will be decided at both the Creative Arts Emmys on September 7 and 8 and the Primetime Emmy ceremony on September 15. Watch the foursome's colorful debate above.
