The 42nd Annual Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards Winners

On April 24, 2015, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) announced the winners of the 42nd Annual Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards. Television stars Florence Henderson (The Brady Bunch) and Alex Trebek (Jeopardy!) hosted the sold-out event at the Universal Hilton in Los Angeles, CA.

“Tonight’s gala is a tribute to the hundreds of nominees that work behind the scenes to make Daytime television the most sophisticated combination of talk, cooking, animation, courtroom, children’s programing and episodic drama on the planet” said Bob Mauro, President, NATAS. “With over 1,200 in attendance, the iconic Alex Trebek and Florence Henderson as our hosts, and our Lifetime Achievement for Craft going to Producer/Director Michael Gargiulo, it was a great evening for Daytime television!”

In addition to Henderson and Trebek, the stellar group of presenters included Darin Brooks and Lawrence Saint-Victor of The Bold and the Beautiful (CBS), Laura Wright and Chad Duell of General Hospital (ABC), Hunter King and Lachlan Buchanan of The Young and the Restless (CBS), Casey Moss and Jen Lilley of Days of Our Lives (NBC), Judge Marilyn Milian of The People’s Court (Syndicated), John Tesh of Intelligence for Your Life (Syndicated) and many others.

The Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards recognize outstanding achievement in all fields of daytime television production and are presented to individuals and programs broadcast from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. during the 2014 calendar year.

Yangaroo, Inc. and Off the Wall Productions, are sponsors of the 42nd Annual Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards. The 42nd Annual Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards is a presentation of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in cooperation with the Television Academy.
