Daytime Emmys Logo 2021

The winners of The Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony in the Fiction & Lifestyle categories were announced in a virtual ceremony over the weekend. The show was hosted by Loni Love for the second time. Also presenting on the telecast were Laila Ali, Francisco Hernández Cáceres (Un Nuevo Dia, Telemundo), Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs (A House Divided, UMC [ALLBLK]) and Jodi Long (Dash & Lily, Netflix).

The telecast also gave the real Marguerite Ray in an In Memoriam tribute after the mix-up that happened on the televised CBS Broadcast ceremony last month. The actress, who appeared on “The Young and the Restless” was misidentified with another actress who played her character later on the show.
