Then again, neither do Game Show Congress awards, but I digress. The only two awards that matter are the Buzzer Blog Awards (coming soon, maybe) and the Primetime Emmy’s. Here’s the list of the nominees that Buzzer would even remotely care about. The Amazing Race is in prime position to have more than one Emmy this year, and that’s my favorite for the Emmy pool (coming soon, maybe, also). I dug DEEP for these. Who knew they gave out Emmys for this kind of stuff?
