Daytime Emmy Awards Winners – Best Drama A Tie As 'Y&R;,' 'General Hospital' Win Three Each
The Daytime Emmys brought a soap-opera-ish end to its return to television with a tie for the night’s biggest award: Best Drama. The Young and The Restless and Days of Our Lives split that one. Y&R tied with General Hospital for the most awards, as each snagged three. GH took the top two actor awards for Anthony Geary and Maura West.
Tyra Banks hosted the 42nd annual Daytime Emmy Awards on the Pop network after a year of online-only coverage.The Bold and the Beautiful won two awards, for writing and directing, and so did Y&R. Big winners included Entertainment Tonight, CBS Sunday Morning, The Ellen DeGeneres Show and Craig Ferguson, picking up a Daytime Emmy (for Celebrity Name Game) just a couple of months after his late-night show ended.
The return to TV and to Pop, which bills itself as TV for the fan, also led to a big emphasis on fans, including giving one soap fan a chance to attend the ceremony with one of her favorite soap stars (and help him announce a category winner). It also includes three fan-voted categories, including “best wedding disaster” and “best bitch slap.” When you’ve been exiled to online for a year, maybe a little fan pandering on your return is in order.
The show started with a distinctly odd, if still amusing, pre-recorded bit featuring DeGeneres and The Today Show host Matt Lauer. They were putatively burying the hatchet on a prank war between the two. Except Lauer’s body had superimposed over it that of a male stripper in pasties and a garter belt. The upside: Lauer promised to make a charitable donation for every person on stage who thanked him, and plenty of them did. He’ll be needing a contract renegotiation upward at this point.
Read the rest of the results as they spun out with our blog below.One note: because of a brief connection problem, we missed reporting that Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan’s Live! With Kelly And Michael won best Informative Talk Show Host.

Getting ready for the awards in a few. New mobile app Whipclip cut a deal with the Pop network to make it easy to pull clips from the show and share them on social and elsewhere. We’ll be monitoring there as well as the broadcast for keepers.

Well, it’s up and rolling, with Matt Lauer in pasties and garter belt. Did NOT see that coming….
That’s a look.
And now we have a recently shorn Tyra Banks rapping.
Best supporting actress, daytime drama, winner is Amelia Heinle, Y&R
Outstanding entertainment news program, ‘Entertainment Tonight’ which started the genre 35 years ago. Kind of nice, actually.
Here’s the clip of Matt Lauer’s little show-opening come-on:
Outstanding Game Show Host: Craig Ferguson, ‘Celebrity Name Game’
Funny that just as he leaves his long-time late-night spot he wins a DAYTIME Emmy.
Outstanding Morning News Show: CBS Sunday Morning. Charles Osgood looks like he slept in.
Daytime Emmys have juiced it up with some “fan favorite” awards, but not sure we want to encourage assault with “Best Bitch Slap” in a time when all the discussion is on issues like domestic abuse.
Nice bit about bringing an elementary-school teacher up from a San Pedro (that’s part of Los Angeles) to attend the Daytime Emmys with one of her favorite soap stars. She looks, sweetly, suitably, completely overwhelmed.
Best Supporting Actor, Drama: Chad Duell, ‘General Hospital’
First ever winner of Morning Program in Spanish: Un Nuevo Dia on Telemundo. Good for the Academy to recognize the huge growth in Spanish-language programming.
Fun ‘Password Plus’ gameshow schtick leading into the lifetime achievement award for Betty White, featuring Charro, Regis and others
Fred Willard tries to untie the knotty family link between his character and Betty White’s from one of the three shows they did together. He nearly gets played off the stage. And Charro can still swing her hips without hurting herself. Kinda remarkable.
“Oh My goodness, I cannot tell you what this means,” says Betty White, who said she started in show business in 1949.
“So much thanks to you, and your mothers and fathers, and grandmothers and grandfathers…..And a couple of great-grandfathers when I was younger.” Betty White so sweet. And she can still deliver a joke.
Younger Actor in a Drama Series: Freddie Smith ‘Days of Our Lives’
Younger Actress in a Drama Series: Hunter King, The Young and The Restless.Y&R’s second win
Here’s video of Betty White’s acceptance speech. She can still sell a joke.
Steve Harvey wins for oustanding talk show, informative
Donna Mills, who’ll be on the new Pop show after the awards, looks amazing, especially for someone now in her 70s. Sat with her and husband recently. Lovely people.
Drama series directing team winner: The Bold and the Beautiful
Outstanding Drama Series writing team: The Bold and the Beautiful again.
What is Jeopardy? The Outstanding Game Show winner, Alex
Will say they’re moving these awards along at an impressive clip.
Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host: The Chew and its several hosts win
Outstanding Culinary Program winner: Barefoot Contessa
Days of Our Lives gets a Years of Our Lives retrospective. Half a century on, they’ve earned it.
Gut punch of a clip featuring the late Joan Rivers, and a big hand for her daughter on stage.
Nice to give Joan Rivers a special moment ahead of the In Memoriam section. Always the trickiest part of these programs.
That parting shot of a baby-faced Paul Walker from his soap-opera days was an interesting inclusion. He died Nov. 30, 2013, and they had a (untelevised) Daytime Emmy show last year. But Furious 7 came out a four weeks ago.
Here’s video link to Charo shaking and baking ahead of Betty White’s award speech:
Younger Actor winner Freddie Smith acceptance speech:
Outstanding Talk Show Entertainment winner The Ellen DeGeneres Show
Lead Actor in a Drama Series winner is Anthony Geary, General Hospital. He’s been with that show since it was a special hospital.
Lead Actress in a Drama Series winner is Maura West, General Hospital. Good night for GH leads.
Outstanding Drama of the Year winner, the big one, is: a TIE. How soap opera-ish….Days of Our Lives and
It also goes to The Young and the Restless
Steve Harvey bit after the last big award has to be killing execs at Pop, who are trying to promote their new show and seeing awards eat into it. But, we are out of here.
