The Daytime Emmys celebrate the best and brightest of daytime television, and the 52nd annual event crowned this year’s standout hosts, actors, and shows across talk, drama, and lifestyle categories.
Mario Lopez hosted the award show, putting a new spin on the Daytime Emmys by premiering clips from the ceremony on Access Hollywood. Since this year’s awards show doesn’t have a broadcast partner, Access Hollywood aired segments dedicated to the show the week of October 13.
Seasoned journalist Deborah Norville received the Lifetime Achievement Award for her decades in the industry.
Below, see the full winners list, and let us know in the comments section if your favorites won.
