The 35th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards on Friday started off with a win for Tyra Banks in the category of Outstanding Informative Talk Show, which offered one of the more memorable acceptance speeches of the evening.
"They said that 'The Tyra Banks Show' would last two weeks and we are entering our fourth season this September," she told the crowd gathered at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood. "I just have a message for everybody out
there: When you have a dream, there are going to be so many people out there who tell you you cannot do it, that you are not good enough. And I want you to tell them to kiss your dimply, flat, juicy, bootylicious, skinny, jiggly, saggy, fat ass!"
Kristoff St. John of CBS's "The Young and the Restless" won for Outstanding Supporting Actor, giving the daytime drama three wins overall and the soap star his first Emmy in the adult category. His 1992 win was for Outstanding Younger Actor.
The night's big winners were Ellen DeGeneres, who won her fourth consecutive Emmy for Outstanding Talk Show Host; and Rachel Ray, whose Oprah Winfrey-produced program upset "Ellen" to take the Outstanding Talk Show prize.
Although Winfrey has taken herself out of the running since 1999, her presence at the Daytime Emmys was felt in various forms throughout the ceremony. Banks also said in her acceptance speech: "I want to thank Oprah Winfrey for her inspiration. She is the queen. She will always be the queen."
