Daytime Emmy Awards 2018: Complete List of Winners
The 45th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards may not have been broadcast on a major network like its primetime companion, but that doesn’t mean its honorees weren’t worthy of attention.
For fans of daytime television, from soaps to talk shows and everything in between, Sunday was an important night where they were able to see their favorites get the recognition for all of their hard work over the last year. Days of Our Lives viewers in particular will be happy to know that the NBC series cleaned up at the awards ceremony — which aired on KNEKT TV and streamed on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter — taking home five trophies in major categories.
But they weren’t the only surprise of the night! Read on for the full list, including an Ellen upset and much more.
