May 13, 2010 (Pen Men at Work): The nominations for the 37th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards have been enunciated. It has come into view that the American drama series, ‘General Hospital’, is the program that has surfaced at the pinnacle.

‘One Life to Live’ and ‘As the World Turns’ are the programs, which have emerged with 13 nominations apiece. Amongst the catalog of chat shows, it was ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ that was the unquestionable leader , with 8 nominations in all, including ‘Outstanding Talk Show’, but not ‘Outstanding Talk Show Host’.

Astoundingly, ‘The Oprah Winfrey Show’ has only managed to procure four nominations. It is scheduled to finish next year. ‘Today’, ‘Rachael Ray’, ‘The Bonnie Hunt Show’ and ‘Live with Regis & Kelly’ achieved three nominations apiece. The Awards ceremony will come to pass on June 27th.
