Major awards go Friday night
Four new categories for broadband, specifically computers, cellphones and other handheld devices, were created this year. The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences teamed with the social networking website MySpace.com to solicit nominations from the public.
NBC's The Office: Accountants won in the comedy category; It's Jerrytime! on Ozone Inc. won in variety; Cyberchase on PBS won in children's; and Satacracy 88 from Itsallinyourhands.com won for drama.
Syndicated shows earned nine awards, with comedian Ellen DeGeneres's talk show taking four in technical categories.
Among the major broadcast networks, ABC and CBS tied with seven, while NBC had five.
The awards were presented for the first time in a single ceremony at the Hollywood & Highland ballroom that combined winners on the East and West Coasts.
Other Daytime Emmys for performances and programs will be awarded Friday at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre during a two-hour telecast on CBS.
Winners are chosen by a panel of their peers in each category.

Though new addition Josh Brolin manages some amazing mimicry as a younger version of Jones, the story doesn't measure up to the weird and wonderful charms of the original, says film reviewer Eli Glasner.
