Daytime television's biggest night was last night. The 2011 Daytime Emmy Awards! This event was held in Vegas. The show moved from Los Angeles, and it's ratings, like many awards shows, have bounced up and down in recent years.
The Daytime Emmys will paid tribute to Oprah Winfrey, who recently ended her lauded talk show after 25 years. She received the Crystal Pillar award for changing the face of daytime television.
“The Bold and the Beautiful” was the big winner last night at the Daytime Emmy Awards.

The category for best talk show host saw a tie between Dr. Mehmet Oz and Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa of “Live With Regis and Kelly.”
The game show category also saw a tie, with “Jeopardy!” and “Wheel of Fortune” each being recognized. Ben Bailey of Discovery Channel’s “Cash Cab” was named best game show host for the second year in a row, but he was in the bathroom when his name was called.
