The results are in for what could possibly be the final Emmy Award show for Daytime TV. The highly anticipated event, broadcast live tonight from the Las Vegas Hilton and hosted by Regis Philbin, featured performances by Cirque du Soleil and The Jersey Boys, as well as tributes to Dick Clark and As the World Turns, which will ends its 50-year run in September. Producer and writer Agnes Nixon, who created One Life to Live and All My Children, was also honored with this year’s Daytime Emmy Lifetime Achievement Award. But enough of the event fillers and on to what the show is really about. 

As the World Turns has nabbed the major awards of the evening, including Outstanding Lead Actor for Michael Park (Jack Snyder), Outstanding Lead Actress for Maura West (Carly Tenney Snyder), and Outstanding Supporting Actress for Julie Pinson (Janet Ciccone). But perhaps the biggest surprise is The Bold and the Beautiful, which won the award for Outstanding Drama Series.

This really is quite unexpected considering ABC’s General Hospital has taken the lead in the Emmy nods with 18 nominations, while CBS’ The Young and the Restless has received 16 nods. Check out the of the winners (in bold) below:
