Kelly Clarkson has won Best Talk Show and Best Talk Show host.
Jada Pinkett Smith’s “Red Table Talk” won Best Informational Show, which is ridiculous because it’s on Facebook. Tamron Hall was robbed.
Veteran actors Max Gail and Marla Adams each won Supporting Actor awards for respectively “General Hospital” and “The Young and the Restless.” They each played seniors who suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease, and eventually died. They also deserved their awards. Adams has been on CBS soaps for 30 or 40 years. Gail was famous from “Barney Miller.”
