However, since she\u2019s currently in Fiji filming season eight, she learned about the nomination after everyone in America due to the time difference.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI was dead asleep. It was 4:30 in the morning here. And my room phone, not my cell phone, started ringing and as an anxious person, that is terrifying,\u201d she tells <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em> on a call from Fiji Wednesday afternoon. \u201cSo I ran over to answer the phone, worried that something bad had happened. And it was my team calling to tell me about it and to congratulate, and we were all so excited on the phone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tBut Madix admits she was still half asleep during that first call, so she then \u201cwent back to sleep almost wondering if that had really just happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFortunately for her, she was absolutely not dreaming. And now that she\u2019s had a few hours to process it all, Madix says she\u2019s \u201cso over the moon\u201d about the nomination.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn the stacked reality host category, the <em>Vanderpump Rules<\/em> alum is nominated alongside RuPaul Charles for <em>RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race<\/em>, Alan Cumming for <em>The Traitors<\/em>, Kristen Kish for <em>Top Chef<\/em> and Jeff Probst for <em>Survivor<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tMadix tells <em>THR<\/em> that it was a \u201creally crazy and amazing and cool feeling\u201d to see her name and picture next to people whom she calls her TV heroes. <\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI know there\u2019s kind of this joke that people make of it\u2019s just an honor to be nominated, but it is so true,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s such a huge honor to be nominated, especially to be nominated in the category where these are people who are the absolute best at what they do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/uspropertymoves.com\/?p=3309\">CAA Calls Out Meta For Making Its Muse AI Video and Photo Tool Opt-Out<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\tSince joining <em>Love Island USA<\/em> as host in 2023 for season six, Madix has played a huge role in helping the series become not only one of Peacock\u2019s top original series but also one of the most popular reality shows in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tShe\u2019s previously been outspoken about her love of the franchise long before she was named the host, so to receive her first Emmy nomination for hosting <em>Love Island USA<\/em>, Madix says it feels \u201cextra special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI think part of the reason why maybe people wanted to see me nominated in this category is hopefully because they can see my love for the job and my love for the show translate on the screen. At least I hope so,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tAs for how Madix plans to celebrate this special moment in her career, she tells <em>THR<\/em> that she\u2019s going to have some sunset drinks with her team at a \u201clovely beach bar\u201d in Fiji.<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cThe hotel that this beach bar is at, there are some really amazing, beautiful people who work there. I promised them the last time I was over there that we would do the Zara Larsson \u2018Lush Life\u2019 dance together. And I think tonight I\u2019m going to make that happen,\u201d she says with a laugh.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe 78th Emmy Awards will air live on Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET\/5 p.m. PT on NBC and stream live on Peacock.
