The Voice has lost out on the chance to win its fourth Emmy after missing out on a nomination for the first time since 2012.
The NBC show has been usurped in the Outstanding Reality Competition Program category with Survivor returning after missing out last year.
It marks a step change for the unscripted world with Peacock’s The Traitors also competing again after winning last year.
The full nominees in the category are: The Traitors, RuPaul’s Drag Race, The Amazing Race, Survivor and Top Chef.
The Voice has been nominated every year since its second season in 2012 with wins in 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
The show campaigned for its Season 27, which was judged by Michael Buble, John Legend, Adam Levine and Kelsea Ballerini. Season 28, which launches this fall, will feature judges including Buble, Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg and Niall Horan.
Last year, The Traitors won the award for Outstanding Reality Competition Program, beating out The Amazing Race, RuPaul’s Drag Race, Top Chef and The Voice in the category.
It marked the Peacock series’ first main Emmy nomination – for its second season – with host Alan Cumming also winning Outstanding Host for a Reality or Reality Competition Program.
RuPaul’s Drag Race has been the big winner over the last few years. The series won four consecutive awards starting in 2018, having usurped The Voice and The Amazing Race, which previously regularly won the category, before losing out to Prime Video’s Lizzo’s Watch Out For The Big Grrrls in 2022 and coming back to win in 2023.
Survivor is back in the category. It missed out last year after the CBS show landed its first nomination in the category in 2023 since its 11th and 12th seasons in 2006.
