Daytime Emmys 2025 full winners list: General Hospital sweeps with seven awards and Drew Barrymore scores first win – UK Times

The 2025 Daytime Emmys saw General Hospital dominate proceedings with seven awards, while Drew Barrymore and Sir David Attenborough were also among the winners.

The awards show that focuses on daytime soaps and talk shows was hosted by Mario Lopez last night, October 17, at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, California.

A memorable night for General Hospital was capped when the long-running soap took home the award for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series. Nancy Lee Grahn also celebrated winning Outstanding Lead Actress in a Daytime Drama Series, while Outstanding Lead Actor went to Paul Telfer of Days of Our Lives.

Sir David Attenborough, 99, became the oldest person to received a Daytime Emmy, winning for Netflix series Secret Lives of Orangutans.

The record was previously held by Mary Poppins star Dick Van Dyke, who won the guest performer award for his role in Days of Our Lives last year at the age of 98.

Attenborough was not there to receive his award in person, and neither was Drew Barrymore who won her first Daytime Emmy for hosting her talk show.
