Ellen Degeneres, Tyra Banks and Rachel Ray were all big Talk show winners who took home Daytime Emmy Awards. Congrats !
With Hollywood's Kodak Theatre divided up into dinner tables in the style of the Golden Globes, Banks shined center stage early on during the two-hour ceremony.The supermodel, whose Tyra Banks Show won in the new category of informative program, was first shown in a clip delivering her TV tirade about her shape and size, which ended with her telling her detractors to kiss her behind. In her thank-you, she reprised the message, saying that no one should ever listen to naysayers. Banks also thanked her mother ("My mama is crying like a baby," she exclaimed on the podium) and Oprah Winfrey, "for being the queen." source
Ellen DeGeneres did it again – claiming the title of outstanding talk-show host, for the fourth year in a row – at Friday night's 35th annual Daytime Emmy Awards, where a jubilant Tyra Banks and Rachael Ray also ended up in the winner's circle.
"I never take this for granted," said DeGeneres, clutching her shiny statuette. "I know every single year people joke about it." Besides acknowledging her show staff and partner Portia de Rossi, DeGeneres also thanked her show's fans, "amazing, amazing people."
In something of a surprise, however, instead of Ellen's winning a fifth consecutive Emmy as best talk show (entertainment), the accolade went to Rachael Ray. "Holy cat. That is exciting," said the cooking host. "I really can't breathe."
I was traveling and missed this great show. Can you tell me if and when it will show again on soapnet...Thanks in advance!
