Daytrippers

If you didn't know the following -- CBS is the HBO of daytime TV, "Divorce Court" was shut out, and Anthony "Luke and Laura" Geary is gunning for his sixth Emmy -- and you're into such things, THR.com can help.

On the site today there's a thorough autopsy of the recently announced Daytime Emmy nominations, including word that punchline actress Susan Lucci isn't the only Susan Lucci (see: Jeanne Cooper of "The Young and the Restless.")

Go for the soap talk, stay for the fun facts!

The topline: Voters shunned some audience favorites and perennial contenders ("Live With Regis and Kelly"), failed to reward new game show host Drew Carey (partial to Bob Barker? Aren't we all?), and dug deeper into cable than ever before, showing that they can be more "inclusive," according to some "expert." (Yeah, that's us, trying to sound knowledgeable).

And this is us being synergistic (or is it just self-involved?).

Trivia question: why aren't the two most famous doyennes of daytime among the nominees this year?

Answer: Oprah and Martha have taken themselves out of the running, because it seems like shooting fish in a barrel (Oprah) and it sucks to lose (Martha, after being the reigning champ, went through an embarrassing dry spell before bowing out).

The awards will air June 20 on ABC.
