YouTube superstar MrBeast (Jimmy Donaldson) is aiming for something big — an Emmy nomination. With voting underway, he’s asking voters to recognize his Prime Video show, Beast Games, in the Outstanding Reality Competition Program and Host categories.
MrBeast wants people to know that Beast Games wasn’t just another reality show — it was a massive project with incredible effort behind it. Even though it’s his first year in Emmy competition, the show’s production quality, creativity, and audience impact are hard to ignore.
He’s already working on season 2, saying, “If people knew the effort we put in, they’d think we deserve to win.”
Winning won’t be easy. MrBeast is up against reality TV giants like:
RuPaul’s Drag Race
The Traitors
The Amazing Race
Top Chef
Survivor
Still, with Beast Games gaining massive attention, the odds might just be in his favor.
Beast Games quickly became Prime Video’s most-watched unscripted series ever, with over 50 million viewers in just 25 days after its Dec. 19 premiere. That’s not just good — that’s game-changing.
MrBeast is already filming Season 2, promising even bigger surprises and more jaw-dropping moments. He says the next season will “blow people’s minds.”
With Emmy hopes in sight and millions of fans cheering him on, MrBeast is ready to make history not just on YouTube, but in Hollywood too.
