With eight prizes, including Outstanding Drama Series, the CBS soap opera “The Young and the Restless” was the top winner at the 47th annual Daytime Emmy Awards, which for the first time was held as an all-virtual event that CBS televised on June 26, 2020. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) had originally planned for the Daytime Emmys to be held from June 12 to 14, 2020, in Pasadena, California, but those plans were altered because of the coronavirus pandemic.

“The Talk” co-hosts Sharon Osbourne, Sheryl Underwood, Marie Osmond, Eve and Carrie Ann Inaba hosted the 2020 Daytime Emmy Awards. Nominees were asked to send prerecorded acceptance speeches, but only the winners’ acceptance speeches were shown during the two-hour telecast.

Here is a partial list of winners for the 2020 Daytime Emmy Awards. A complete list of winners can be found at the official Daytime Emmy Awards website.
