Daytime Emmys in Rerun Mode

Tony Danza must be crushed. Ditto Tyra Banks.

Both talk-show hosts were dissed by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which rounded up the usual suspects Wednesday for nominations for the 33rd Annual Daytime Emmys.

CBS sudser The Young and the Restless fared the best, racking up a leading 18 nominations overall, including the big kahuna for Outstanding Drama Series. The show also dominated in the younger actor categories but was completely shut out among the leading ranks.

Perennial favorite Ellen DeGeneres managed to dance her way to the top of the heap yet again, nabbing 11 nominations--the same as last year and just one nod shy of two years prior--including Outstanding Talk Show, Talk Show Host, Writing, and scores of technical nods, ranging from main title design to multiple camera editing.

The nominees were announced live on ABC's The View and, naturally, Barbara Walters and her gaggle represented. The femme-fuelled chatfest garnered 10 nominations, going up against DeGeneres for most of them, including Outstanding Talk Show and Talk Show Host awards.

Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa, along with Soapnet's Ty Treadway and Lisa Rinna, are also up for host-with-most honors; Dr. Phil McGraw didn't make the cut in the hosting department but his eponymous program is up for Outstanding Talk Show.

There will be less competition in the game show ranks. Bob Barker and the Wheel of Fortune tandem of Pat Sajak and Vanna White were among those overlooked in the Outstanding Game Show and Game Show Host categories. There were only two nominees in each category this year: Meredith Vieira and her Who Wants to Be a Millionaire vs. Alex Trebek and Jeopardy!

Meanwhile, Martha Stewart's new post-prison daytime effort warranted six nominations, including Best Service Show and Service Show Host, pitting her against the likes of Emeril Lagasse, Rachel Ray and Suze Orman.

Finally, no Daytime Emmy story would be complete without noting reigning afternoon queen Oprah Winfrey. Although she long ago removed herself and her show from the major talk-show categories, it was still honored with eight technical nominations.

The Daytime Emmys will air Apr. 28 on ABC, and after 32 years in New York, the ceremony will be held for the first time in Los Angeles, at the Kodak Theater.
