Your Daytime Emmy Award Winners...

Anyway, I bring more good news: The recipients of the 2009 Daytime Emmy Awards were announced last Sunday evening at the Orpheum here in Los Angeles.

Aside from a major upset, compliments of The View finally getting rid of Ellen from the top spot by taking the award in the Best Talk Show Host category; a title of which has been occupied by daytime cackler Ellen DeGeneres, the show was a complete sudsy success.

The other major beneficiary of the evening was Soap show, The Bold and the Beautiful garnering the award for Outstanding Drama Series (It's first win in the entire 22 years the show has been on the air).

Here is a quick rundown of your 2009 Daytime Emmy Award winners:

• BEST DRAMA SERIES -- The Bold and the Beautiful
• BEST ACTOR, DRAMA SERIES -- Christian LaBlanc, The Young and the Restless
• BEST ACTRESS, DRAMA SERIES -- Susan Haskell, One Life to Live
• BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR, DRAMA SERIES -- Jeff Branson, Guiding Light
• BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS, DRAMA SERIES -- Tamara Braun, Days of Our Lives
• BEST YOUNG ACTOR, DRAMA SERIES -- Darin Brooks, Days of Our Lives
• BEST YOUNG ACTRESS, DRAMA SERIES -- Julie Berman, General Hospital
• BEST MORNING SHOW -- Good Morning America
• BEST TALK SHOW (ENTERTAINMENT) -- Rachael Ray
• BEST TALK SHOW (INFORMATIVE) -- The Tyra Banks Show
• BEST TALK SHOW HOST -- Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Whoopi Goldberg, Barbara Walters, The View
• BEST GAME SHOW -- Cash Cab
• BEST LEGAL PROGRAM -- Cristina's Court
• LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD -- Sesame Street
  

Quite frankly, I might only agree with a few on the list (Cash Cab, Sesame Street). Having said, I am not exactly the target audience for Daytime fair -

Really, I attempt to watch television in my office during the daytime, but evidently it is largely an unsuccessful endeavor due to phone calls from clients, the media, managers, agents, lawyers and miscellaneous execs, assistants, oh, and random PEOPLE walking into my office trying to speak of matters of which they know not (Ah, there I go again saying too much)...

Nothing but Soap.
Speaking of lathered success, perhaps maybe CBS (Proctor & Gamble) will bring back The Guiding Light which had been scheduled for cancellation this September, the show has been on the Network since 1952. Amazing.
