“Rachael Ray” and “The Tyra Banks Show” won the categories of talk show in Daytime Emmy Awards for second consecutive year on Sunday, while the women of “The View” ended Ellen DeGeneres’ four-year reign as best talk show.
“Cristina’s Court,” now in its third season on Fox, beat veteran “Judge Judy” and “The People’s Court”, among other candidates, to claim the prize for best legal / courtroom program even for a second year.
“Rachael Ray” took home the “entertainment” talk show award, while “Tyra Banks” won the “news” of the prize. Both shows are syndicated. The talk show category was split into two for the first time last year.
Both Ray and DeGeneres were nominated for best talk show host, along with Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa from “Live with Regis and Kelly” but lost to ABC’s “The View” co-hosts Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck , Sherri Shepherd and Barbara Walters.
But “The View” was a surprise absentee from the entertainment talk show category.
Meanwhile, “CBS” The Bold and the Beautiful “was named best drama, beating ABC’s” All My Children “and NBC’s Days of Our Lives. “However, the soap just won two awards in general.
The first awards were shared between soaps as with Christian LeBlanc winner for her role in “CBS” The Young and the Restless “and Susan Haskell taking the prize for the life of ABC’s” live “.
Supporting honors went to Tamara Braun for “Days of Our Lives” while Vincent Irizarry’s “All My Children,” Jeff Branson tied with CBS’s “Guiding Light”.
Overall, “One Life to Live” and “All My Children” led the field with five Emmy awards each, while “PBS” Sesame Street “,” The View, “” The Ellen DeGeneres Show “and” El Tigre “won four of each.” All My Children “was at the event with a leading 19 nominations.
ABC was the top network, with 17 awards, followed by public broadcaster PBS with 16. ABC had led the field with 50 nominations.
The 36th annual awards, organized by “Ugly Betty” co-star Vanessa Williams, were held at the Orpheum Theater in downtown Los Angeles, a sign of declining prestige of the event. Formerly held at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, home of the Oscars, and broadcast on a major network. But after showing last year reached a record 5.4 million viewers, ABC declined to renew his contract, and finished this year’s show on the CW, a niche channel that targets young women.
