The View, Ellen DeGeneres Among Daytime Emmy Nominees

''The View,'' ''Rachael Ray'' and ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show'' were among the Daytime Emmy Award nominees announced Wednesday.

The programs will compete for best talk show, while the new category of best informative talk show pits nominees ''Dr. Phil,'' ''The Tyra Banks Show'' and ''A Place of Our Own'' against each other.

Nominations for best daytime serial went to ''General Hospital,'' ''Guiding Light,'' ''One Life to Live'' and ''The Young and the Restless.''

Winners will be announced June 20 in Los Angeles.

''The View'' hosts Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd are among the nominees for best talk show host — and get another a chance to break their 10-time losing streak in the category.

The series itself has been honored, although DeGeneres' show has dominated the best talk show category in recent years.
