The Ellen DeGeneres Show scores 11 Daytime Emmy
nominations

ABC's All My Children earned a leading 18 Daytime Emmy nominations Wednesday, while The Ellen DeGeneres Show and The View both had 11 in talk-show categories. DeGeneres's show won last year's award for Best Talk Show--in its freshman season--and will be competing in that category this year against The View, Live With Regis & Kelly, Dr. Phil, and Soap Talk. Martha Stewart Living received three nominations; she's being released from prison at the end of this week and, if she wants, can ask federal probation officials for permission to attend the awards ceremony. General Hospital and Guiding Light both received 13 nominations, as did the venerable children's show Sesame Street. The hosts of all the nominated talk shows also earned nominations for Best Talk-Show Host. The 32nd annual awards are scheduled for May 20 at Radio City Music Hall in New York, televised by CBS.
