As usual, “American Idol” received its fair share of Emmy nominations: six, to be exact.

But the show has had a fairly miserable track record in wins. It always loses to “The Amazing Race” for best reality program and Ryan Seacrest cedes to Jeff Probst of “Survivor” among reality show hosts.

So far, I could find records of a measly two Emmy wins for “Idol” over the years:  in 2007 for Outstanding Technical Direction for “Idol Gives Back” and in 2009 for Outstanding Directing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Special. There might have been more but I haven’t been able to find them.

The best reality program included the usual suspects: “Amazing Race,” “American Idol,” “Project Runway,” “Top Chef” and “Dancing With the Stars.” Oddly missing this year: “Survivor.”

The show airs on NBC August 29.
