Rachael Ray, Tyra and “The View” Win Daytime Emmy Awards!

It was a fun night watching the Daytime Emmy Awards last night.  Did you catch the show?  If not, here’s a quick rundown of how our shows and hosts fared.

Tyra Banks at 2009 Daytime Emmy Awards

I wasn’t surprised at all to see that the Tyra Banks Show won the “informative” talk show award since she is constantly trying to push the envelope to educate her viewers whether it’s a giant stuffed vagina or having pregnant prostitutes on the show to tell their stories.  She really has carved out a niche for herself and I’m really happy for her.

Rachael Ray at 2009 Daytime Emmy Awards

The Rachael Ray show won the “entertainment” talk show prize and I have to say that I was a little surprised by it but, then again, I’m continually amazed by this show’s success.  I didn’t think it was even going to last a single season but, here it is, winning awards!

Ellen DeGeneres and Wife Portia di Rossi at 2009 Daytime Emmy Awards

I was stunned, however, when the ladies on The View beat out Ellen DeGeneres for “best talk show host” after Ellen dominated the category for the past four years.  You know she’s at home right now wondering what she did wrong (nothing!).  I think that viewers really connected with the discussions surrounding the 2008 US Presidential Elections on The View and that probably helped them capture the prize.
