Best GS- "Ca$h Cab", "Jeopardy!", "The Price is Right" & "Wheel of Fortune"
Best GS Host- Ben Bailey, Meredith Viera, TODD NEWTON & Wayne Brady
My predictions:
Best GS: I don't see Cash Cab winning four in a row, and J! and Wheel may cancel each other out seeing that Pat and Alex are getting the Lifetime Achievement Award. This is Price's most solid year since Drew took over, and I could see it finally winning its first Best GS Emmy of the new era this year.
Best GS Host: I'm surprised that this is Todd's first nomination, cause I remember him being pretty good on Hollywood Showdown. But I think he's hitting his stride with Family Game Night- a solid second season gets him the award next year. I think that the problems with LMaD and its lack of variety (Even after two years, I still don't think it's best as an hour show) could hurt Wayne's chances. But I think he's been a good enough host to win. I think it's either him or Todd.
On the other hand, I could be totally wrong and Cash Cab gets the double win for the second year in a row.

My money is also on Todd Newton, this year's underdog. Otherwise, expect a repeat of last year.....

P.S. Even with Steve Harvey, Feud STILL can't get arrested, Emmy-wise.

Carol Wayne longshot odds say Tammy's using something that has auto-correct on it.
/However, it still deserves this (http://"http://longtermtourists.com/fark/quizzical_dog.gif")

Perhaps, but that's no excuse not to proofread before posting.

Especially since Meredith's surname is spelled correctly every day in the credits.

For the first time since 1980, two shows were tied for the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game/Audience Participation Show: Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! This is Wheel's first win in its 36 years on the air and Jeopardy!'s 12th. Both shows, as we know, are produced by Harry Friedman.
Ben Bailey takes home his second Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Game Show Host in a row for his duties on Cash Cab.
-
I wonder if Alex & Pat's Lifetime Achievement Awards played a part in that happening?

Perhaps. I wonder if Cash Cab will submit Beth Melewski next year as well as Ben Bailey, or does each show get one host nominee per emmy year?

Does anybody know why Wayne Brady shaved his head?

Wayne Brady probably does.

The Daytime Emmys.....Two to three hours that you'll never get back.....that is, if you chose the wrong nominee to win.
And I was SO SURE Todd would be victorious last night!

If the show wasn't worth watching unless the nominee of your choice won....then the show wasn't worth watching, period.

One might also make the argument that the Daytime Emmys aren't worth watching anyway, considering how things have been changing lately.

This was "awards week" for the Lansing theater scene. One of the organizations that doles out trophies is the Riverwalk Theatre, which gives out a total (I counted this year) of forty-two awards, including eighteen different acting awards, for their NINE eligible shows. The absurdity of that helped me get through the absurdity of the Daytime Emmy Awards.
-
EIGHTEEN acting awards? Wow. What are the categories?

Lead Actor/Actress, Supporting Actor/Actress and Featured Actor/Actress in each of Play, Musical and Children's Show categories.

NBC has one show from which to draw nominations, ABC will soon be down to one. Is it worth it to even air the show on free TV?

Your question would make a little more sense if you said network TV. Though the networks are down to almost nothing, there are still a significant number of shows in syndication, which of course is still "free" TV. Also, the focus of the show is still the daytime dramas (even though there are fewer of them to compete against each other), and that's still the domain of the networks. Finally, with cable series continuing to thrive artistically, your question might be just as valid for the prime time Emmy Awards, just for different reasons.

Good points. If ABC gets out of the daytime drama business, there will be but 3 scripted shows from which to choose come 2013. All from the Bell and or Sony stable.
