At the Grace Awards, executive producer Alex Duda won for top showrunner while the show won for unscripted writing in daytime. Other recognitions include multiple nominations for Critic’s Choice, GLAAD Media Awards, MTV Movie + TV Awards (with a win for Kelly Clarkson as Best Host in 2022) and multiple nominations from Hollywood Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist Guild Awards.
