Daytime Emmys

Tweet

Didn't anyone watch last night? What did you think? I think the show was pretty boring, except for the tribute to D1ck Clark. Not only was it awesome, his emotional reaction was very touching. I think that was the highlight of the show. As for the winners... I was glad to see both Michael Park and Maura West from As The World Turns, but sad at the same time because As The World Turns will be ending in September. Actually, they finished taping last week. So that was very emotional too. And Maura West brought her daughter up on stage. The little girl was crying about her mother's win. It was so touching. But I can't help but wonder if these two best leading roles won because the show is going off the air. Pity votes? I was very surprised to see The Bold and the Beautiful win best daytime drama, and at the same time happy. They are only a half hour show. They split the talk shows into two different categories now - Talk Show Entertainment and Talk Show Informative. Talk Show Informative consisted of Dr. Phil, The Doctors and Dr. Oz. The Doctors won for best show but Dr. Oz won for best talk show host. Talk Show Entertainment consisted of Regis & Kelly, The View, Ellen, Bonnie Hunt (which has also been cancelled I believe) and Rachel Ray. Ellen Degeneres won for best Talk Show Entertainment. There were a lot of entertainment segments, especially during the D1ck Clark American Bandstand Tribute, but all of the jokes by presenters fell flat. That was disappointing. I think Regis Philbin was a bad choice for host. His "jokes" were written for him and he read them off the monitor. They fell flat. They needed a real comedian hosting like they have in the past. I think the role of host is an important one and speaks for the whole show. This one didn't cut it. Your thoughts?
