Tyra Banks Nabs an Emmy

Wanna give a shout out to the Gossip Girls blog for alerting me to this.

Ever since she began her own talk show, something has set Tyra Banks apart from the rest of the pack. And now she has a Daytime Emmy Award to prove it.At yesterday’s 2008 Daytime Emmy Awards, held at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, the supermodel-turned-talk show host was on cloud nine, garnering the first ever Daytime Emmy for Informative Talk Show.

And she gave credit where credit was due, telling the audience, “I want to thank Oprah Winfrey for her inspiration. She is the queen. She will always be the queen.” Banks also mentioned, “My mama is crying like a baby.”

Tyra’s model background definitely came out in her ensemble, consisting of a strapless beige floor-length gown with embroidered accents along with a blinging bracelet.
