Tamara Braun,Susan Haskell:Rachael Ray and “The Tyra Banks Show” won the talk show categories at the Daytime Emmy Awards for the second consecutive year on Sunday, while the women of “The View” ended Ellen DeGeneres’ four-year reign as best talk show host.
Cristina’s Court,” now in its third season on Fox, beat out veterans “Judge Judy” and “The People’s Court,” among other nominees, to claim the prize for best legal/courtroom program also for a second year.
Rachael Ray” took home the “entertainment” talk show prize, while “Tyra Banks” won the “informative” 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, alongside Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa of “Live with Regis and Kelly,” but they lost to ABC’s “The View” and 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 out ABC’s “All My Children” and NBC’s “Days of Our Lives.” But the soap won just two prizes overall.
The top acting prizes were shared among the soaps, with Christian LeBlanc winning for his lead role in CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” and Susan Haskell taking the corresponding prize for ABC’s “One Life To Live.
