Daytime Emmy Awards 2023 Full winner list: General Hospital, Kelly Clarkson lead the award ceremony

The 50th Daytime Emmy Awards took centre stage at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles. Hosted by Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner, the awards ceremony, initially delayed by a writer's strike, unfolded with surprises, recognitions, and notable wins.

The long-running daytime soap, General Hospital, emerged as the night's biggest winner. The acclaimed series secured multiple accolades, including Drama Series, Directing Team for a Drama, Supporting Actor (Robert Gossett), Supporting Actress (Sonya Eddy), Younger Performer (Eden McCoy), and Guest Performance (Alley Mills). A highlight of the evening was the Lifetime Achievement Honor bestowed upon Susan Lucci, the star of All My Children.

The Bold and the Beautiful made its mark with notable victories, securing Outstanding Actor for Thorsten Kaye and Outstanding Actress in a Drama for Jacqueline MacInnes Wood.

The Kelly Clarkson Show had a great night, clinching victories in two significant categories—Outstanding Daytime Talk Series and Daytime Talk Series Host.
