Critics Choice Real TV Awards 2024: Complete winner's list

At the 2024 Critics Choice Real TV Awards, Peacock's series The Traitors emerged as the biggest winner, clinching four awards, including best competition series, best ensemble cast in an unscripted series, and two individual accolades for its host Alan Cumming.

Apple TV+'s The Reluctant Traveler With Eugene Levy also received two awards: best unstructured series and best travel/adventure show, making it the only other show to secure multiple awards on Saturday night.

Tom Bergeron received the inaugural Sam Rubin Award, named in memory of the KTLA anchor and longtime Critics Choice board member who passed away last month. John Walsh was awarded the career achievement award, presented by his son, Callahan.

Hosted by Randy and Jason Sklar, the sixth annual Critics Choice Real TV Awards celebrated excellence in nonfiction, unscripted, and reality programming across broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms.

The event, held at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles, featured an array of presenters including Brock Davies, Chelsea Lazkani, Drew and Jonathan Scott.
