Oh, I hope they don't rip off the Oscar idea of 5 past winner presenting the award for the acting categories. It was ok for the Oscars but it just reeked of cheesiness at times. "Debbi Morgan, you are a class act. Well done. Jeanne Cooper, you are a force to be reckoned with. Bravo."

As Sophia Loren has gotten older her English has actually gotten worse! That was hilarious. Pilled out...LOL.

"Jeanne Cooper, you are one hundred years old, we love you, Bravo. Kim Zimmer, you play a bloated wreck unbelievably well, Congratulations. Susan Lucci, you are a diva, Thank You VERY Much! Maura West, you're younger than most of the other nominees most recent set of veneers, what a talent. Deidre Hall, you are unemployed, all the best..."

Daytime Emmys shifting to the CW

First time the awards will air outside Big Three networks

It's official -- the Daytime Emmy Awards are moving to the CW.

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has inked a deal with the network to broadcast this year's show, which will be held Aug. 30 at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles.

That is a couple months later than the usual time for the Daytime Emmys and is sure to be a part of the CW's promotional push for its fall launch.

NATAS approached the CW after CBS, which had been alternating with ABC in carrying the event, declined to renew its contract. After ABC also declined, saying it was not prepared to broadcast the event two years in a row, the academy pitched it to other nets.

This will mark the first time the Daytime Emmys air on a non-Big Three net.

"Sesame Street" will be honored with the lifetime achievement award at the event for "40 years of educational television."

"The Daytime Emmy Awards are one of the cornerstones of our business," said Frank Radice, president and chief marketing officer of NATAS. "From the extravagant red carpet to the great entertainment, the viewer will experience the show through new approaches which will make this year's show more robust and relevant than ever before."
