Decades after their initial recognition, two performers collected supporting acting trophies at the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy Awards.
Roger Howarth, who portrays Matt Clark on "The Young and the Restless," secured the supporting actor award on Friday night. He first took home an Emmy in 1994 in the younger actor category for his work as Todd Manning on "One Life to Live." Beth Maitland won the supporting actress prize for her performance as Traci Abbott. Maitland originated the role in 1982, the same year she won her first supporting actress Emmy, and has returned to it intermittently since.
Maitland addressed the room after her name was called. "I was equally as gobsmacked back then as a young actress, and I can't tell you how meaningful it is to be here," she said, adding, "Every one of you a winner, every one of you a part of the contribution daytime makes in a world gone mad, offering just a few minutes of relief, to laugh, to cry and to celebrate." Other categories awarded that evening included the travel and adventure honor, which went to Tracee Ellis Ross for "Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross." Ross was previously nominated for five Primetime Emmys for the ABC comedy "black-ish." Ambyr Michelle of "Beyond the Gates" won emerging talent in a daytime drama, the second year the category has been presented. Sherri Shepherd won as daytime talk series host for "Sherri," which concluded its four-season run in May.
The ceremony took place at the Hollywood Palladium and was streamed live for the second consecutive year.
