The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the nominees for the 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.

Among the noteworthy decisions: "Sesame Street" will receive a lifetime achievement award; Susan Lucci from "All My Children" and "The View" didn't get nominations; and "Guiding Light," the longest-running soap opera, received only 3 noms even though it will go off the air in September.

'The View' makes TIME 100

Per Time.com, the opinionated hosts of the very popular morning talk show The View made Time Magazine's 2009 list of the 100 most influential people in the world.

Barbara Walters, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd collectively made no. 54 on the list. Richard Stengel, editor of Time, even appeared as a guest on the show to explain to the viewers and the ladies why they were chosen to be on the prestigious list.

According to Stengel, the ladies are "the angels of democracy."

Twitterers shared various reactions to Time's decision to include 'The View':

Barbara Walters Loses "Twitter Virginity"

Veteran journalist Barbara Walters became the latest public figure to get a Twitter account.

The View co-host announced on yesterday's show that she caved in to public pressure and curiosity. In recent weeks, Twitter has frequently been a "hot topic" on the show, with Babs admitting she knows hardly anything about it.

And based on her on-air tweeting, it seems she still doesn't.

Some Twitterers were happy to see that she joined while others were less than thrilled:

1. 
   Robbieftw Once you see Barbara Walters with a Twitter, you know the world is consumed. I love it!
