AWARDS PREDICTION COMMENTARY: This category has existed since 2008 and there have been many repeat winners over that time including Jeff Probst, Jane Lynch and RuPaul. Nicole Byer made history in 2020 as the first Black woman to be nominated in this category and now she could be the first to win for “Nailed It.” That is, if she manages to get past her Netflix counterparts from “Queer Eye” and the multiple nominated RuPaul.
