The Biggest Surprises of the Night
General Hospital's Historic Win

But here's the kicker: it was a tie with Days of Our Lives! Can you imagine the excitement (and perhaps a touch of drama) backstage as they had to share the glory?
Ellen DeGeneres' Big Night
Now, you might be thinking, "Ellen DeGeneres at the Daytime Emmys? Isn't she more of a nighttime gal?" Well, guys, she was there, and she was killing it! Ellen took home the Outstanding Entertainment Talk Show Host award, proving once again that she's the queen of daytime TV. Her hilarious acceptance speech had the audience in stitches and reminded us all why we love her.
The Actors Who Nailed It
Savvy and Steamy: 'Days of Our Lives' Stars
Days of Our Lives cleaned up in the acting categories this year. Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series went to the incredibly talented Marci Miller, who brought her A-game as Abigail Deveraux. Meanwhile, Tyler Christopher snagged the Outstanding Lead Actor trophy for his portrayal of the steamy Stefan DiMera.
'The Bold and the Beautiful's' Breakthrough
The Bold and the Beautiful might not have won as many awards as its soap opera sisters, but they certainly made their mark. Heather Tom continued her winning streak, taking home the Outstanding Supporting Actress award for the third year in a row. Her emotional acceptance speech had everyone reaching for the tissues.
The Unsung Heroes

And how could we forget the Outstanding Directing Team for a Drama Series, also from General Hospital? Their ability to bring the best out of their actors and create visually stunning episodes deserves a standing ovation.
The Party Never Stops
After-Party Vibes
As the night wound down, the stars headed to the official after-party to celebrate their wins (and drown their sorrows, if they didn't quite make the cut). Spotted: stars like Nancy Lee Grahn, Maurice Benard, and Laura Wright letting loose and enjoying some well-deserved downtime.
Red Carpet Fashion
