After a six month delay due to the Hollywood strikes, the 50th Annual Daytime EMMYs took place over the weekend (December 15 and December 16) at Los Angeles’ Westin Bonaventure Hotel.
Hosted by entertainment news anchors Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner, this year’s festivities were dominated by ‘General Hospital’ which swept up seven awards while ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ took home the two lead actor and actress prizes.
One of the event’s biggest talking points was easily Kelly Clarkson – the GRAMMY-winning diva who, thanks to her eponymous daytime talk show, racked up a whopping six trophies.

Kelly deserves it….
It’s hard to read posts with all these ads and constant chaotic page refreshing….
That’s what I said. I had to install the ad blocker extension in Google Chrome and it cleared up all the ads that scroll up and down the page.
Some of the categories don’t make sense. You can’t be an outstanding talk show host and not have an outstanding show, or vice versa, so the additional category is pointless. And the lighting, sound, costume, hair, makeup and scenic design for a live talk show is different than how it’s used in taping a fictional TV series, so those should really be separate categories.
