“General Hospital” was named the year’s best daytime drama series and Steve Harvey won two awards for hosting at the 44th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, which took place on Sunday evening in Pasadena.
Harvey won one award for Outstanding Game Show Host for “Family Feud” and another for Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host for “Steve Harvey.”
“The Bold and the Beautiful” actor Scott Clifton won in the Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series category, making him the first actor to have won Daytime Emmy Awards in the lead, supporting and younger actor categories for the same role.
Among the daytime dramas, “General Hospital” won four awards, “The Young and the Restless” won three and “The Bold and the Beautiful” won two.
Other winners included “ET,” “The Ellen Degeneres Show,” “Jeopardy,” “Good Morning America,” “Eat the World,” “The Dr. Oz Show” and the hosts of “The Talk.”
The show took place at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, two days after the Creative Arts Daytime Emmys had taken place in the same location. Big winners at that show had included “Trollhunters,” “Sesame Street” and “The Bay the Series.” Mary Hart received a lifetime achievement award and Susan Lucci introduced a special tribute to the late Agnes Nixon.
