The Daytime Emmys celebrates the best and brightest of daytime television and is as cheery as ever for the 51st annual event.
The awards ceremony hosted by Entertainment Tonight‘s Kevin Frasier and Nischelle Turner opened with a tailored rendition of “Downtown” aptly renamed to “Daytime,” and performed by The Talk‘s Amanda Kloots and Jerry O’Connell. Before getting into the awards presentation, the hosts had to give a shout-out to TV legend Dick Van Dyke who later became a history-making winner during the event as the oldest performer to earn a Daytime Emmy, before turning it over to presenters to announce winners.
Along with various categories, several special awards and honors were also handed out, including the Lifetime Achievement which went to The Young and the Restless star Melody Thomas Scott and Daytime Emmy-winning producer Edward J. Scott for their contributions to the world of daytime television.
