The East Coast/West Coast time difference has meant that we haven’t really gotten around to caring about The Daytime Emmys until today (and to be honest, we still don’t really care about them.)

That being said, as we scanned through the photos, we couldn’t help but notice this:

Whut. Rachael Ray won a Daytime Emmy Award? Was there some sort of Human Carbon Monoxide Detector trophy we were not aware of? Or are they just faxing out trophies to anyone associated with Oprah? This is a national tragedy.

On the bright side, there were people who walked away with trophies who we were genuinely psyched about. Click ahead to see our 3 favorite winners.

1. Cash Cab’s Ben Bailey. Easily the most underrated gameshow on television. It’s like Taxicab Confessions minus the public sex but with a lot more trivia, i.e. MUCH BETTER!

2. Sesame Street’s Kevin Clash. Puppeteering and voicing Elmo will be a lot more difficult with an Emmy to carry around the set all day long. But truly, the guy got his b’s cut off for his craft… doesn’t that deserve an award?

3. The Tyra Banks Show Tyra Banks. The most hard-working girl in show biz finally gets a little golden love. Because face it, without Tyra who would we be left with? Rachael Ray and paternity tests, that’s who. And that’s a world I don’t want my children growing up in. So congrats, Tyty! The world would never be the same without you.
