The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) tonight announced the winners of the 50th Annual Daytime Emmy® Awards. The ceremony was presented live this evening at 9 PM EDT (delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network. The ceremony was hosted by “Entertainment Tonight” hosts Kevin Frazier & Nischelle Turner and featured a special performance by Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter Jennifer Nettles.
As part of the 50th anniversary celebration, the show honored “legends” of daytime, including 1991 Lead Actor winner Peter Bergman (The Young and the Restless), 1998 Lead Actress winner Cynthia Watros, 2005 Supporting Actor winner Greg Rikaart, and 1980 Supporting Actress winner Francesca James, presenting alongside last year’s respective four acting winners. In addition, tributes were paid to Emmy® Award-winning daytime dramas “The Young and the Restless” for its 50th anniversary on CBS and ABC’s “General Hospital” for its 60th anniversary.
The Lifetime Achievement Honor was presented to Susan Lucci by Shemar Moore in an awards show reunion for the duo. Moore famously presented Ms. Lucci her Daytime Emmy Award in 1999 after she was nominated in the Best Actress category 19 times for her portrayal of Erica Kane in “All My Children.” At the time of opening the envelope, he famously exclaimed, “The streak is over!” in what is frequently cited as one of the greatest awards show moments in history.
Connie Chung presented the In Memoriam segment, which paid tribute to the stars and contributors in the field of daytime that we lost this past year, taking a moment to honor Barabara Walters, who passed away December 30, 2022, and then introduced Jennifer Nettles who performed “Life is Sweet.” The song originally premiered on Ms. Nettles’ television show “American Anthems” produced by NBC Universal Syndication Studios and Believe Entertainment.
