Summary
Five wins made "The Kelly Clarkson Show" the top series at the 53rd Daytime Emmys, including outstanding daytime talk series in a farewell-season victory for the now-canceled show.
Those awards also covered directing, sound, set design and hairstyling/makeup, while canceled talk rival "Sherri" still claimed host honors for Sherri Shepherd.
"General Hospital" won outstanding drama for a sixth straight year and a record 19th time overall, finishing with four awards alongside first-year CBS soap "Beyond the Gates," which also took four.
"Beyond the Gates" broke through with Tamara Tunie's first Emmy and Ambyr Michelle's emerging-talent win, while Roger Howarth of "The Young and the Restless" ended a 32-year gap between Daytime Emmy victories.
CBS led distributors with 8 wins, reflecting a ceremony that now runs in fall and honored programming from the 2025 eligibility calendar.
