It was a big night for RuPaul’s Drag Race and Top Chef at the Critics Choice Real TV Awards on Sunday, June 12, as both shows walked away with three wins each, including a tie for Best Competition Series.
The ceremony, which launched in 2019 and honors the best in nonfiction, unscripted, and reality television, was hosted by the Sklar Brothers at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.
In addition to Best Competition Series, Drag Race took home the trophies for Best Unstructured Series and Best Ensemble Cast. Meanwhile, Top Chef won for Best Culinary Show and Best Show Host for Padma Lakshmi, who was also recognized for her Hulu show Taste the Nation with Padma Lakshmi.
Elsewhere, Selena + Chef host Selena Gomez was awarded the fan-voted Female Star of the Year award, while Robert Irvine of Food Network’s Restaurant: Impossible was named Male Star of the Year.
