Over the years, the Emmys have championed several underdogs who truly deserved the hardware — The Wonder Years , Arrested Development , Andre Braugher, Bryan Cranston, Kristin Chenoweth, and my eternal girl Jackee Harry all come to mind — but when it comes to reality television, the committee is stubborn in its devotion to the same staid programming. Even casual statisticians know that the Reality Competition Emmy has gone to The Amazing Race since the award’s inception in 2002, but there’s a point when a winning streak becomes a regime, and Phil Keoghan’s juggernaut surely qualifies by now. Still, a big change may come tomorrow morning with the 2010 Emmy nominees: a shake-up for reality TV and the people who appreciate it.
