Alan Cumming dishes on his interaction with RuPaul after The Traitors’ 2024 Emmy win
Alan Cumming has opened up about his interaction with RuPaul after the 2024 Primetime Emmy Awards. In September, the Spy Kids star won the Emmy for Outstanding Host for The Traitors US, ending the drag legend’s eight-year winning streak.
While Cumming was unable to accept his award in person, he did take to social media to express his excitement for the win. “Thank you to all the Traitors crew up at Ardos castle who keep smiling despite the long hours and the Scottish weather, and sweet baby Jesus, how could I forget the amazing cast who were so fun to play with,” he wrote on Instagram.
The winning didn’t stop there for Cumming and The Traitors US, with the popular Peacock series earning the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality-Competition Program. “We are so grateful because we are a new show, and you guys, you know, when you like something, you tend to stick to it, which is a good quality.
But we appreciate it all the more,” the bisexual talent said during his acceptance speech. In a recent interview with Out, Cummings opened up about The Traitors US beating out RuPaul’s Drag Race at last year’s Emmy, revealing that it was a “bittersweet” feeling. “I didn’t quite understand the full portent of it until it was nearly happening,” he continued.
