Always a highlight of the entertainment industry's calendar, Saturday evening's (June 23) 39th Daytime Emmy Awards paid tribute to the best and brightest to grace the small screen over the past twelve months.
With stars such as Bethenny Frankel, Sharon Osbourne, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Lisa Rinna, Susan Lucci and Aisha Tyler among those on hand, the big winner during the course of the Beverly Hilton Hotel held celebration was Outstanding Drama Series victor "General Hospital".
Other triumphs from the 2012 Daytime Emmys included Anthony Geary and Heather Tom, who took home Outstanding Lead Actor and Actress in a Drama Series honors while "Live With Regis and Kelly" nabbed the Outstanding Talk Show/Entertainment accolade and "Today" garnered a win in the Outstanding Morning Program category.
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences backed event also featured tributes to recently cancelled programs such as "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" while Barbara Walters presented "The View" executive producer Bill Geddie with the Lifetime Achievement Award.
During his acceptance speech, Geddie jokingly said that "it's the industry's way of saying 'get out'" and "I guess Gellman wasn't available."
