Daytime Emmys: CBS Leads Nods, Ellen Battles Viewers
Racking up 53 total nominations, CBS is the network to beat at the 34th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, to be held June 15 in Hollywood. While my sudsy counterpart Daniel Coleridge sums up the
soap categories, I can tell you here that the talk show competition has
Ellen DeGeneres (with 12 nominations) and
The View (10) as front-runners, with the rivals going head-to-head with
Rachael Ray in such primo contests as best show and host. (No assemblage of
View gabbers has ever won for best host, in nine tries.)
Sesame Street was the most-recognized nonsoap program, counting to 12 with its own collection of nods, and
Bob Barker stands to collect his 18th Emmy before
stepping down in June as host of
The Price Is Right.
Again, Daniel is compiling a full list of the major races
here.
