The News & Documentary Emmy nominations have been announced and Anthony Bourdain has been nominated for Travel Documentary, Anthony Bourdain in Beirut.
It is obvious why it received the nomination. From Michael Yessis at World Hum:
The Travel Channel aired Anthony Bourdain in Beirut last night, the story of what happened to the “No Reservations” host and his crew when they were stranded in Beirut, Lebanon last month during the early days of the war between Israel and Hezbollah. “It’s not a hard-news account of what happened to Lebanon or what happened to Beirut,” Bourdain says at the beginning of the show. “I think at best it’s a little bit of what Beirut was and could have been. What it felt like to be there when things went sideways. This is not the show we went to Lebanon to get.” Nevertheless, Bourdain returned with one of the more compelling travel shows—or any television show, for that matter—of the year.
Don’t forget that the new season of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations starts this coming Monday, July 30th at 10pm EST on The Travel Channel.
