The 36th annual Daytime Emmy Awards, hosted by the lovely Vanessa Williams, took place yesterday in Los Angeles. The Daytime Emmy awards recognize outstanding performance and excellence in American daytime programming like talk shows, game shows, soaps, and even children’s programming.

Some highlights from this year’s results: Rachael Ray won in the “talk show entertainment” category, and “Sesame Street” won a lifetime achievement award. (As a side note, I am thrilled that Sesame Street won this award…I remember watching it as a kid and am happy that my kids will be able to watch it some day too.)
