There is an unlikely culture war brewing at this year’s Critics’ Choice Awards. In the Best Reality Series category, Neil deGrasse Tyson’s Cosmos is going head-to-head with Duck Dynasty. Last night on the Tonight Show, Tyson told Jimmy Fallon he doesn’t mind losing the award, he just really doesn’t want Duck Dynasty to win.

“I don’t mind the duck people,” Tyson said. “And I don’t even mind if we lose, but I don’t want to lose to Duck Dynasty. I don’t know what that would mean, if the Cosmos lost to duck people.”

Putting aside the other nominees, which include — to Fallon’s horror — Undercover Boss, which of these two shows would get your vote for the best reality series of the year?
