Those cruel Emmy bastards. Here Regis Philbin is today, recuperating from his heart bypass surgery (unless it's still going on, which is possible), and he doesn't even get a nomination for Best Talk Show or Host!
Ellen got a nod though, and she led all nominees with 12 nominations. Going up against her for Best Talk Show are Dr. Phil, The View, Tyra Banks, and Rachael Ray. If she's not the winner out of that group, something is wrong somewhere. She's also up for Best Talk Show Host, with the same nominees and also Lisa Rinna, who apparently hosts something called Soap Talk.
The shows up for Best Soap are Guiding Light, The Young and the Restless, One Life To Live, and The Bold and the Beautiful. Bob Barker got a nomination for The Price Is Right. His last day on that show is in June.
Oh, and that Today Show "It's a New Day" theme? It got a nom too.

What's with the Oprah snub? Say what you will about her but she's a consummate pro and one of the best out there (definitely way better than Tyra Banks!!!)

I am pleased once again that Ellen Degeneres' show got 12 nominations! Hands down, it's the second best talk show after Oprah. I was pleased that Tyra Banks' show got nominated--her shows have gotten better. Rachel Ray had a good season, but she needs to tone down that loudness image she has for next season--she's sounding like she's been on for 5 years or so. To answer the first comment, Oprah Winfrey took herself out of the Daytime Emmy nominations in 1997. But if she was nominated now, she'd be winning 15 to 20 consecutive years straight for talk show host or show!They'd be handing it to her and not care for the other competition. But she won nearly every year from 1987 to 1996!
