McKinley Franklin editor You know that it’s their time: “Vanderpump Rules” has officially been nominated for its first Emmy award.  After a shell-shocking 10th season that drew in record-breaking ratings for the series and Bravo at large, the Lisa Vanderpump-led series has been named one of the five nominees for unstructured reality.
