“General Hospital” and “The Kelly Clarkson Show” were the big winners at the 50th annual Daytime Emmy Awards, which were handed out on Friday night in Los Angeles. Veteran daytime-drama actress Susan Lucci, once famous for being nominated for a Daytime Emmy 19 times before she finally won, received the Lifetime Achievement Award.
“General Hospital” was named Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, and also won awards for its directing and for actors Sonya Eddy (who received her award posthumously), Robert Gossett, Eden McCoy and former “Wonder Years” star Alley Mills.
The other two daytime acting awards went to Jacqueline MacInnes Wood and Thorsten Kaye from “The Bold and the Beautiful.” Kaye won his first Emmy in his seventh nomination.
“The Kelly Clarkson Show” won the award for Outstanding Daytime Talk Series, while Clarkson won in the Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host category.
“Entertainment Tonight” was named Outstanding Entertainment News Series.
The show took place at the Westin Bonaventure Los Angeles and included a performance by Jennifer Nettles.
