Emmy Nominations – Choreography
This morning the prime time Emmy nominations were announced with So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing With The Stars choreographers being recognized for their incredible work. The biggest surprise of the nominations was Cat Deeley getting her first nomination for hosting SYTYCD. This was a long time coming and very well deserved.
Deeley is one of the best hosts out there, connecting with the dancers on a personal level. She is personable and lovely and makes watching the show even more enjoyable. Congratulations Cat!
