The 33rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards

The 33rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards are happening tonight, and will boast a historic first.

This is the first year that an award will be presented for "original entertainment programming created specifically for non-traditional viewing platforms, including computers, mobile phones, iPods, PDAs and similar devices". While there certainly must be a better name for this category, we would like to congratulate all of the nominees and wish them luck tonight.
