The View, Rachael Ray, and The Ellen DeGeneres
Show were among the Daytime Emmy Award nominees
announced Wednesday.
The programs will
compete for Best Talk Show, while the new category of
Best Informative Talk Show pits nominees 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 chance to break their
10-time losing streak in the category.
The series itself
has been honored, although DeGeneres's show has
dominated the Best Talk Show category in recent years. (AP)
