Daytime Emmys: Winners and Highlights

Last night’s Daytime Emmy Awards honored the best in non-primetime television. Tyra Banks wore plenty of pantsuits while hosting, Matt Lauer wore garters while ending his prank war with Ellen DeGeneres, and two soaps shared the evening’s top prize.

The Highlights

Matt Lauer got plenty of attention …

And American treasure Betty White got a much-deserved tribute:
