Daytime Emmys 2021: See Who You Voted to Win!

The Blue Ribbon panel decides who actually wins each year at the Daytime Emmy Awards, but as this year’s ceremony approached, we thought it would be fun to let the fans weigh in on the nominees and pick who they thought should take home the gold!

Thousands upon thousands of votes were cast, but of course, since the viewers weren’t able to see the actual submission reels the stars of THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, DAYS OF OUR LIVES, GENERAL HOSPITAL, and THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS sent in, the results aren’t going to be particularly scientific. Heck, it’s likely most fans just voted for their favorite actors and actresses anyway! But it will still be interesting to watch the ceremony unfold on Friday, June 25, at 8 p.m. on CBS and see if any of the actual winners match these results!
