CBS gets most daytime Emmy nominations
CBS led the pack with 57 nominations in the 34th annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards, which were announced from New York on Wednesday from the set of “Guiding Light,” television’s longest-running show. Syndicated programming landed in second place with 53 nominations, while PBS came in third with 38.
Two CBS soaps -- “Guiding Light,” which aired its 15,000th episode last year, and “As the World Turns” -- accounted for 33 nominations. Meanwhile, PBS’ “Sesame Street,” the syndicated “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” all tied for third place in total nominations with 12 each.
Nominated as best daytime drama were CBS’ “Guiding Light,” “The Young and the Restless,” “The Bold and the Beautiful” and ABC’s “One Life to Live.”
Other highlights included ABC’s buzz-maker “The View” garnering 10 nominations and Bob Barker, who is slated to retire from “The Price Is Right” this summer, receiving his 18th and 19th nominations (as host and as executive producer).
The awards ceremony is scheduled for broadcast June 15 on CBS.
