Reality TV Stars Dominate the Emmys

at .

The Primetime Emmy Awards are meant to reward the best in television acting and writing.

Therefore, it's more than a bit strange that the event last night was hosted by a quintet of reality TV stars. It's also incredible that another one, Lauren Conrad, actually handed out some hardware on stage.

Still, instead of fighting the spread of reality TV, we can only embrace it. Here are threee moments from the ceremony featuring some of your favorite, supposedly usscripted stars:

Emmy Winner

Jeff Probst took home the first-ever Emmy given to best reality show host.

Christian at the Emmys

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano did his best to look fierce on the red carpet.

Heidi Klum, Tom Bergeron

Tom Bergeron and Heidi Klum failed to make anyone laugh as hosts.
