I got home a few minutes ago and clicked on the TV. “The View” was on - and there was a gay guy (I can’t remember his name) doing an evaluation of the Daytime Emmies. He was hilarious. He told The View ladies that in order to win, they needed to become lesbians since that appeared to be the way the show was going. Elizabeth grabbed Barbara and they acted like they were about to kiss. Yeah. They really did.

When she spoke at the Daytime Emmies, Ellen made a joke about combining “hot topics” with endorsements - “hot pockets” - and the guy on The View made a joke about Ellen knowing a lot about “hot pockets.” I got the joke although The View ladies acted like they didn’t know what he was talking about.

Here’s a photo of Ellen kissing her girlfriend, Portia de Rossi.

Anyway, Ellen won some awards. The View won for make-up and hair design - or something like that. Whoop-dee-doo! Here’s the article on the Daytime Emmies.

Ellen DeGeneres Sweeps Daytime Emmys

LOS ANGELES (June 16) - Comedian Ellen DeGeneres dominated the 34th annual Daytime Emmy Awards Friday, winning awards for best talk show and best host for the fourth consecutive year. But she said the combative Rosie O’Donnell should have been honored in her stead.

Meanwhile, the Daytime Emmy for best dramatic series — also known as soap operas — ended in a tie for the first time, lending a note of unexpected drama to the evening.

The 70-year-old CBS show “Guiding Light,” the oldest continual dramatic series on American television, shared the spotlight with another CBS show, “The Young and the Restless.”

Despite its longevity, it was only the third time “Guiding Light” has won the top soap opera award. It was the seventh time “The Young and the Restless” has won.

When her syndicated program won the award for best talk show host, beating O’Donnell and the other co-hosts of ABC’s “The View,” DeGeneres said the prize really belonged to O’Donnell, whose outspokenness shook up the program before she left this spring after a fight with a co-host and a failure to reach a new contract.

“I liked what she did. This was the year she should have won. I wanted to acknowledge Rosie because she has done a lot. … I don’t know who should replace her, but I don’t think it should be Paris Hilton. That would not work,” she said.

Bob Barker — who has just retired after 50 years as host of “The Price Is Right,” with CBS airing his final episode Friday night — was named best game show host. He said afterward that the producers of the program were talking to O’Donnell as his replacement, though he did not think that would happen. He, too, declared himself a fan of O’Donnell, who did not attend the show.

Maura West of “As the World Turns” (CBS) was named best dramatic actress, and Christian Jules LeBlanc of “The Young and the Restless” was named best actor.

Genie Francis, whose character on ABC’s “General Hospital” was written out in 2002 in traditional soap opera style — by having her fall into a coma — was named best supporting actress for her triumphant four-week return.

So, do you think we should become lesbians, Hazel, so we can be more popular?

Hey Adeline …. I think Hollywood is doing everything it can to normalize ‘alternative lifestyles’. I don’t have a major problem with Ellen, I just never thought she was particularly funny. At least she’s not ‘in your face’ like Rosie is. It does bother me that anything goes and even the school systems are trying to push this as a ‘normal’ lifestyle. hazel
