...real treats. "Survivor" will square off against TLC's "Trading Spaces" in a "special" category for reality programming. Another reality category (Outstanding Nonfiction Program (Reality)) shows how brilliant and diverse the much-maligned genre has become: "American High," "Frontier House," "Project Greenlight," "The Osbournes," "Taxicab Confessions" and "Trauma: Life in the ER."

...says that Hubbard's teachings helped him put a hard-knocks childhood behind him. "I went to 15 different schools growing up," he says, "because of par-ents divorcing, father losing jobs, transferring, trying to find another job." Even today, Cruise, whose father died in 1984, often mentions the trauma of always being the new guy. "I thought, I can't wait to grow up because it's got to be better than this," he says. "The politics and the fights and always wearing the wrong shoes and having the wrong accent...
