The View has been an Emmy nomination magnet for nearly 30 years, and the 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards nominations, announced July 14, added three more to the pile: Best Daytime Talk Series, Best Daytime Talk Series Host (Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Alyssa Farah Griffin, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin, and Ana Navarro), and Best Art Direction/Set Decoration/Scenic Design.
That brings the show’s all-time total to 190 nominations and 33 wins since it premiered in 1997 — but buried in that haul is a surprisingly lopsided stat: across 24 nominations for its hosts, The View has only won once.
Talk Show Host: 24 nominations, 1 win
The hosting category has changed names five times over the show’s run — Best Talk/Service Show Host, Best Talk Show Host, Best Entertainment Talk Show Host, Best Informative Talk Show Host, and now Best Daytime Talk Series Host — but the outcome has stayed the same nearly every time.
The View‘s hosts were nominated every year from 1998 through 2011, then again in 2014, 2016 through 2020, 2022 through 2024, and now 2026. The only win came in 2009, when Joy Behar, Whoopi Goldberg, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sherri Shepherd, and Barbara Walters took the trophy.
Talk Show: 21 nominations, 2 wins
The program itself has fared slightly better. That category hasn’t just been renamed over the years — The View has also been classified differently from cycle to cycle, competing as Best Talk Show (1998–2007), Best Talk Show/Entertainment (2008–18), Best Entertainment Talk Show (2019), Best Informative Talk Show (2020), and now Best Daytime Talk Series (2024–26), depending on how the show was submitted in a given year. The View has been nominated 21 times, winning twice: in 2003 (tied with The Wayne Brady Show) and in 2020, when the show won as Best Informative Talk Show.
The extended family
The View‘s reach even extends beyond its own ledger this year. Spinoff The Weekend View — featuring Behar, Griffin, Haines, Hostin, and Navarro, minus Goldberg — scored its own nomination for Best Daytime Personality – Non-Daily on ABC News Live, a nod that falls outside The View‘s official count under Daytime Emmy rules but underscores how deep the show’s awards footprint runs.
Beyond the podium categories
Excluding its Talk Series and Talk Series Host bids, the show has racked up 145 nominations across roughly two dozen technical and craft categories — everything from lighting direction and technical direction to costume design and sound mixing — and converted 30 of them into wins. Hairstyling has been its single best category, with eight wins (1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2007, 2008, 2009), followed closely by Makeup with seven (2001, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010). The show has also taken home three trophies apiece in Lighting Direction (2001, 2004, 2011) and Technical Direction/Electronic Camera/Video Control (1998, 2000, 2005), plus directing wins in 1998, 2004, 2009, and most recently 2024, when The View won Best Directing Team for a Multiple Camera Daytime Non-Fiction Program. Its most recent craft win came in 2023, for Best Art Direction/Set Decoration/Scenic Design — a category the show is nominated in again this year.
The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be held Oct. 30 in Los Angeles.
