The 47th Daytime Emmy Awards saw 'The View' win Best Informative Talk Show.

The awards were hosted by Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood, Eve, Carrie Ann Inaba and Marie Osmond, the hosts of CBS' daytime talk show 'The Talk'.
On the win, Sunny Hostin, in her acceptance speech said: "I envision a world that seeks to reign above pettiness, divisiveness, and hatred. I envision a world, not of fences and barriers but a world where these protests lead to equality and the recognition of humanity for each, regardless of skin color."
There were mixed responses from fans after the announcement. "I'm beyond excited for 'The View'. This year you all have gone above and beyond each and every day.
