The Emmy for outstanding reality or competition series goes to “The Traitors.”

The show’s host Alan Cumming thanked Peacock, the cast and crew as well as his home country, Scotland, while accepting the show’s award.

“I also want to thank Scotland,” he said. “I owe it everything. It’s such a beautiful co-star.”

The 10-episode reality competition murder mystery show features 20 contestants — 10 of whom have previously appeared on reality programs like “Survivor,” “Below Deck,” “Big Brother” and “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” — competing for $250,000.

CNN previously spoke to Cumming about packing for “The Traitors.” Read what some of his travel must-haves are here.
