Lead actor nominee Peter Bergman of CBS' "The Young and the Restless" isn't so sure about the close-up access."Just presenting, you could be accosted. Lucky me," he said, tongue-nearly-in-cheek. "It ends up being almost silliness. It's not how I want to celebrate a career achievement." [...]
Among the scheduled presenters are Ellen DeGeneres, Rachael Ray, Tyra Banks, Jerry Springer, Alex Trebek and "The View" co-hosts Barbara Walters, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Behar -- minus the recently departed Rosie O'Donnell.The quartet could be reunited onstage if "The View" wins in the talk-show host category and O'Donnell attends, as [co-EP Ricky] Kirshner anticipates.
Cockteasing the public with a Rosie/Rest-of-the-Bitches reunion is certainly one savvy way to go, as few could resist the prospect of such an awkward and public reconciliation. The ceremony could wind up seeing a sizable uptick in ratings, purely for those recent View converts jonesing to witness a self-righteous O'Donnell steamroll her former co-hosts just once more at the podium. Should Walters call for a group hug over the orchestra swell that quickly devolves into a 204-person hair-pulling, face-scratching grand melee on the stage of the Kodak Theater, that will just be the icing on the proverbial cake.- Daytime Emmys could lead to 'View' reunion [CNN.com/AP]
