Must-see

The 33rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards: 8-11 p.m., ABC. A year ago, Kelly Monaco was just another soap actor. Then came her Dancing with the Stars victory. Now she’s booming. Tonight, Monaco co-hosts with Tom Bergeron. She’s also up for best actress in a soap for General Hospital. That’s the category that drew interest when Susan Lucci kept losing. Monaco faces Kim Zimmer and Beth Ehlers of Guiding Light, Bobbie Eakes of All My Children and Susan Flannery of The Bold and the Beautiful. The best-actor category has Anthony Geary and Maurice Benard of General Hospital, Robert Newman and Ron Raines of Guiding Light and Thorsten Kaye of All My Children. Meredith Vieira, now heading toward Today, is nominated in four categories. Her View crew is up for best talk show host. They face Ellen DeGeneres, Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa and the Soap Talk duo, Ty Treadway and Lisa Rinna. Vieira’s Who Wants to be a Millionaire work faces Alex Trebek of Jeopardy for best game show host. The View is also nominated for outstanding talk show and Millionaire is nominated for best game and audience participation show.
