Daytime Emmy Awards announces nominations

Associated Press The Spokesman-Review

“The View,” “Rachael Ray” and “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” are among the nominees for this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards.

They will compete for best talk show, while the new category of best informative talk show pits “Dr. Phil,” “The Tyra Banks Show” and “A Place of Our Own” against each other.

Nominations for best daytime serial went to “General Hospital,” “Guiding Light,” “One Life to Live” and “The Young and the Restless.”

Winners will be announced June 20 in Los Angeles.

“The View” hosts Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd are among the nominees for best talk show host – and get another a chance to break the show’s 10-time losing streak in that category.

The series itself has been honored, although DeGeneres’ show has dominated the best talk show category in recent years.
