The 49th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards announced their nominations on May 5 with “The Young and the Restless” leading all programs with 18 bids including Best Drama Series. But who won at the Creative Arts and Lifestyle Ceremony held on Saturday, June 18, and then the main Daytime Emmys telecast on Friday, June 24? Scroll down for the complete list of winners, updated as they’re announced.
The Daytime Emmys honor the best in television programming that airs during the day, but that distinction is not as simple as it used to be. We’re in an era when streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime deliver programming that can be viewed at any time of day, some of which conforms more closely to the kinds of shows that air in prime time, and others that correspond to the usual daytime fare.
To streamline all awards, the Television Academy and the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences negotiated a realignment that among other things trimmed down the Daytime Emmys. Shows aimed at children and families will leave these awards and get their own awards ceremony. Morning shows will compete at the News and Documentary Emmys. Single-camera short form dramas shift to prime time. The Daytime Emmys continue to honor the daily multi-camera soaps like “Y&R,” “General Hospital,” and “Days of Our Lives,” plus daytime game shows, talk shows, and lifestyle/culinary programs.
Find out who won below starting on June 18 and then concluding on June 24. Join the discussion on this and more happening in our forums.
