Daytime Emmy Awards 2020 Winners – Deadline

The Young And The Restless won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Drama tonight, with exec producer Anthony Morina calling the trophy “bittersweet” due to the deaths of three colleagues this year: Lee Bell, co-creator of the soap; longtime cast member Kristoff St. John; and Lisa de Cazotte, supervising producer.

“We dedicate this award to them,” Morina said.

Jeopardy’s Alex Trebek won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Game Show Host. “I’ll be honest with you this one is a shock, very surprising to me,” Trebek said in accepting his win, adding, “Speaking as one who has now been nominated 32 times and won 7 times, I think I can say with some degree of authority that winning is nicer.”

Trebek was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer last year.

Ellen DeGeneres, accepting the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show for her self-titled program, pledged to use the next couple years of her contract “to amplify the voices of black people and people of color” on her show.

Saying that daytime talk shows could “do a lot more with the platform we’re given,” DeGeneres vowed to use her show as an agent of change.

“I have been doing this show for 17 years and we have a few more to go,” DeGeneres said from her home. “If anything has become clear over the last month or so, it’s that we can do a lot more with the platform that we’re given. I intend to use the next two years of my show as a platform for change, to amplify voices of black people and people of color and to educate my audience. More than ever, I feel like this is a responsibility to affect change.”

Both of the winners in the supporting acting categories spoke out for racial justice in their acceptance speeches, while outstanding lead actor Jason Thompson of The Young and the Restless expressed support for Black Lives Matter.

NBC’s Today Show won the Emmy for Outstanding Morning Show. Kelly Clarkson took the award for Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host.

The View, Jeopardy, Tamara Braun of General Hospital and Bryton James of The Young and the Restless took the first announced prizes on tonight’s Daytime Emmy Awards, with recipients offering virtual – and brief – pretaped acceptance speeches from their homes.

The best soaps, game shows and TV’s onscreen legal minds will be going for the gold tonight on the 47th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, kicking off at 8 pm ET/PT on CBS. This year, the televised awards in the leading categories are being presented virtually, with hosts, presenters, nominees and winners appearing remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional categories will be announced on the Daytime Emmys’ social media accounts immediately after the CBS broadcast, with others streamed in separate virtual ceremonies on July 19 and July 26.

Joining hosts Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood, Eve, Carrie Ann Inaba and Marie Osmond will be presenters and performers including Gayle King, Kelsey Grammer, Kathie Lee Gifford, Scott Evans, Wayne Brady, Jacqueline MacInnes Wood, Maurice Bernard and Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest, among others.
