Daytime Emmys 2014: Ellen DeGeneres show wins eighth award

The Ellen DeGeneres Show has won its eighth award for outstanding entertainment talk show at this year’s Daytime Emmys.

CBS soap The Young and the Restless picked up best drama series, while its star Billy Miller won for best lead actor in a drama series.

Good Morning America won best morning program.

The Steve Harvey Show was named outstanding informative talk show, while Steve Harvey also won the best game show award for Family Feud.

For the first time this year, the Daytime Emmys offered awards for Spanish language shows – winners included Telemundo’s Un Nuevo Dia as best morning program.

The ceremony, which aired on TV until last year, was only streamed online this year. The move reflects dwindling audiences for daytime television.

Other winners included Jeopardy! which won best game show and The Mind of a Chef, which won best culinary program.

There was a tie for best talk show host between Mehmet Oz for the Dr Oz Show and Katie Couric for Katie.

Katie Couric’s win came the day after she married New York financier John Molner in a small ceremony at her East Hampton home, which was first reported in People magazine.

Kathy Griffin hosted Sunday’s ceremony, with Billy Bush and Mario Lopez among the presenters.
