Daytime Emmy Awards 2021: And the winners are...

Greg Doherty/Getty Images The 48th annual Daytime Emmy Awards are back June 25 on CBS.

General Hospital and Kelly Clarkson were the big winners at the 48th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards on Friday.

The two-hour show that was hosted by The Talk's Sheryl Underwood was pre-taped in a Burbank, Calif., sound stage on June 12 and 13, when every nominee was asked to give acceptance speeches, and every presenter was asked to announce multiple winners. Crazy, right? But recipients didn't find out they actually won until the telecast aired on CBS.

Most of the daytime drama recipients were on site and therefore able to pre-tape their speeches on stage while holding an Emmy. Between handing out trophies, the show featured tributes to Regis Philbin, Larry King, and Alex Trebek, as well as a gorgeous In Memoriam segment with a performance by Diamond White from The Bold and the Beautiful.
