The 53rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards took over Los Angeles on October 30, and Black women walked away with the biggest trophies of the night. Keke Palmer won Outstanding Daytime Short Form Program for“Glam Through The Ages,”marking her third Emmy overall. Tracee Ellis Ross took home Outstanding Travel and Adventure Program for“Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross,”and the win arrived on her actual birthday after five prior nominations for“black-ish”had come up short.
Tamara Tunie earned her first Emmy nearly 40 years after her daytime acting debut, winning Outstanding Lead Performer in a Daytime Drama Series for“Beyond The Gates.”She joins rare company as one of the few Black women to win in that category. Her co-star Ambyr Michelle also won for Emerging Talent, giving the show a huge night. Sheryl Lee Ralph, Jennifer Hudson and other stars lit up the red carpet as the celebrations rolled on.
The wins mark major career milestones, and the timing made them even more memorable. Which moment from this year’s Daytime Emmys are you still thinking about? Let us know in the comments.
