Hough also beat out fellow “Dancing With the Stars” pro Artem Chigvintsev, who was nominated for his Argentine tango and freestyle routines to “Toxic” by Britney Spears and “Sparkling Diamonds” by Nicole Kidman that he performed with Kaitlyn Bristowe in the season 29 finale. His “Jingle Bells” routine from the “Disney Holiday Singalong” was also nominated. In the Outstanding Choreography For Variety or Reality Programming, Hough was actually competing against himself.

Hough performed that routine as part of the “Dancing With the Stars” finale. But Outstanding Choreography For Variety or Reality Programming was the only award the show took home and it was for Hough’s paso doble and tap dance routine to “Let’s Fall In Love For The Night” by Finneas. There were several “Dancing With the Stars” nominations in the 2021 Creative Arts Emmy Awards field - not only for choreography but also for hairstyling, makeup, and lighting design and lighting direction.
