It was obvious to fans that the show was a success for almost a decade, but it took until 2016 for the Television Academy to see it. RuPaul’s Drag Race received their first Emmy nomination in 2015 and won its first award in 2016. It was Ru himself that won the award for “Outstanding Host For A Reality Competition.”

Since then, the show has garnered 21 other Emmy nominations and three Emmy awards.
