Out of curiosity, is there a limit on how many entries can end up in these categories (ie. 3 plus ties?).  It just seems a bit odd that stalwarts Feud and Wheel don't really tend to pop up.

Ryan.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but since Wheel airs almost exclusively in early prime time (7-8 PM), I believe it isn't eligible for a daytime Emmy.  Jeopardy! can slide by because it airs in afternoons in some markets (it's been on at 3:30 PM here in Chicago forever).

ABC's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire won for 2000 and 2001 and that did air exclusively in primetime. (It was allowed to compete in that category since, well, there's no primetime game show category.)

No Price? Am I to guess that Barker was the main one pushing for that show to get Emmy noms?

BTW, I don't think I've ever seen the current Feud nominated.

It's possible that both Price and Feud were not even submitted for consideration.  Didn't Drew Carey ask that he not be considered for a nomination last year?

AFAIK, the current revival of FF has never been nominated for Outstanding Game Show or Show Host.  None of the Fremantle syndie shows since 1997 (MG, CS, TTTT, FF) have ever been nominated.

Wheel has been nominated before in both show and show host categories.  Like the above examples, it's possible the show wasn't submitted for consideration.

WWTBAM did win in 2000 and 2001, but the Daytime Emmy folks changed the rules following the show's second win, making prime time network game shows ineligible for any Daytime Emmy Awards.  IIRC, the daytime game show producers complained that the nighttime shows had an unfair advantage thanks to bigger budgets and better production values.  Also, it closed a loophole in Daytime Emmy rules, as nighttime network soaps and talk shows were ineligible for Daytime Emmys, but nighttime game shows were not.

Not sure if there is a max limit on nominations (I've seen six for some acting soap categories in the past).  Due to the lack of depth in the game show genre, the Daytime Emmys have only named three nominees for Outstanding Game Show the last couple of years.  Should be noted that there are also only three nominees in other major categories as well, such as best soap and best talk show.

I am 99.9% sure Price was submitted, unless someone forgot to lick the stamp.  As far as Drew, he did not wish to be nominated as the host in the past, but that did not stand true for the show's nominations.

Who else?

[Robair]

TPIR got two nominations, for makeup and costumes. No technical nods either this year, which is strange.

OK, I guess I haven't been paying enough attention over the years.  There is a category for best costuming...for a game show?

It's something Monty Hall lobbied long and hard for with the Academy back in the late 60s  early 70s timeframe.

[Joe Mello]

The two Price nominations are in all-genre categories.

[chad1m]

He's right. Price is up against Barney & Friends, Sesame Street, Ellen and Nickelodeon's acid trip/kids show Yo Gabba Gabba! for Outstanding Achievement in Costume Design/Styling and against Semi-Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee, Bonnie Hunt, Tyra and The View in Outstanding Achievement in Makeup.

Applying makeup with a spackling knife is now considered "outstanding"?
