Wow! The big day is Friday! I can hardly wait.
I have been procrastinating but time to do those Emmy picks.
I'll start with some non-soap categories (below) and then do individual posts for each daytime drama category.
And, without further ado:
Game Show Host
Nominees and episodes
Ben Bailey, Cash Cab
Brother and Sister who double their money
Bob Barker, TPIR
1st episode of 35th season
Pat Sajak, Wheel
on location in Texas
Alex Trebek, Jeopardy!
Doug Savant, Jane Kazmarek,
Meredith Viera, Millionaire
Whassupp! episode
I love cash cab, so I won't mind them winning. However, there is nothing spectacular on their tape, Wheel's or Jeopardy's.
This is a Viera vs Barker race and I am pulling for Barker just because his last episode airs on the same day as the telecast.
Who will win: Toss-up between Barker and Viera
Who should win: Barker
I would vote for: Barker
Talk Show Host
Nominees and episodes
Tyra Banks
Guest: Janet Jackson, visit to LA school
Ellen DeGeneres
Guests: Simon Cowell, James Blunt, music prodigy
Phil McGraw
Dr. Phil confronts man who molested own daughter
Rachel Ray
Sick girl gets to meet her idol, Jessica Simpson
Soap Talk
Guests: Peter Bergman, wives of Soap Hunks
The View
Guests: James Brolin, Jeffrey Carlson (AMC)
Tyra Banks is surprisingly good in her episode.
Ellen's episode is her doing what she does best.
Dr. Phil is his usual aggressive self in a intense episode where a man is allegedly molesting his 3-year old daughter. It is the best of all the episodes, but the subject matter may turn of some voters.
Rachel Ray's episode is good and her guests never overshadow her.
Soap Talk is good with the Peter Bergman, but is just crap with the wives segment. Why are they nominated.
The View could have picked 50 better episodes and ruined their chances with a bad pick. However, the publicity the show has garnered—and that it has truly improved in the past year—might make it some sort of dark horse.
What this category comes down to is this a "light and breezy" category (e.g. Ellen, Soap Talk) or more hard hitting (Dr. Phil). I would like to think that the academy think it is the former and thus this is really between Ellen and Tyra.

Morning Show
Nominees and episodes
Good Morning America
Live with Regis & Kelly
Ashton Kutcher, Barenaked Ladies, and World Records
The Today Show
Pres Clinton, surgical mistakes, and break dancing
Good Morning America has a good overall episode. They are very in-depth with the North Korea coverage and also include the new trend into walk-in medical services at shopping centers and department stores.
Live with Regis & Kelly just seems to be in the wrong category. The show always jokes about how they always lose "Talk Show", so maybe they took themselves out of that and into this new category hoping for a win. But, they just look silly when compared with the other two nominees.
The Today Show is good with the Bill Clinton interview but not great. The other stuff runs along the same lines. And, they only submitted an episode that was 26 minutes of their usual 3-4 hour broadcast. It seems if they were going to edit and this was the best they have, they don't have much compared to GMA.
This is a first time for this category and will define itself with how it awards this new Emmy. Much like the Talk Show category, it needs to determine if it is more "talk show"-ish or more news. It really should be a race between GMA and Today, with GMA the favorite. However, Today could garner votes just on popularity and reputation.
