The Daytime Emmy Awards were given out tonight on CBS. They were supposed to happen back in June, but strikes did them in.
“General Hospital” won best drama. Kelly Clarkson won Best Talk show and host. She didn’t make the trip to L.A. to pick up her statue.
Best Actor was Thorsten Kaye from “The Bold and the Beautiful,” and Jacqueline McInnes Wood won Best Actress from the same show. Best Supporting Actor is Robert Gossett (brother of Oscar winner Lou Gossett, Jr) for “General Hospital.” The same show got the nod for the late Sonya Eddy as Best Supporting Actress. “General Hospital” also took home Best Directing, but “The Young and the Restless” was the Best Writing for a Drama.
Susan Lucci received a Lifetime Achievement Award.
The real winner of the night was Jennifer Warnes, sang like a gangsta during the In Memoriam. Why isn’t she a bigger star? What a voice!
