Daytime Emmys: Y&R Dominates Soap Pack; AMC And OLTL Get 3 Wins Each
The 41st annual Daytime Emmy Awards were held Sunday at the Beverly Hills Hilton, hosted by expletive-happy comedienne Kathy Griffin and streamed online at DaytimeEmmys.net, home of the most dreadful pre-show ever.
CBS' The Young and the Restless came away as this year's big winner, grabbing gold five times at Sunday night's main gala, including for Outstanding Drama and for Lead Actor. Sister sudser The Bold and the Beautiful was shut out at the big show, but had scored four statuettes at Friday night's Creative Arts awards ceremony (see winners list).
NBC's Days of Our Lives' was Sunday's other MVP, topping three major categories. The defunct All My Children and One Life to Live netted three Emmys each, in creative arts categories, for their brief online revivals.
Here are the night's major winners. Check 'em out, then hit Comments with your yeas and nays. (Our sister site Deadline covered some of the other categories.)
