The Kelly Clarkson Show won outstanding daytime talk series for the fourth consecutive year at the 2024 Daytime Emmys, which were held at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles on Friday (June 7) and broadcast on CBS. Entertainment Tonight’s Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner co-hosted the show.
Kelly Clarkson has won eight Daytime Emmys over the first five seasons of her popular talk show (compared to three Grammys over a much longer period of time).
In accepting the award for outstanding daytime talk series, Clarkson gave special thanks to NBC for listening to her concerns when she proposed moving the show from Los Angeles to New York. “I told them, ‘My life is not going super great,’ and they helped us move,” she said. “It’s been so great for not just me and my family, but for the show. Thank you for thinking of mental health and not just a product.”

Clarkson presented the first award of the night. The producers of the awards show presumably wanted to signal to the TV audience that she was in the house. Clarkson had not attended the Daytime Emmys in recent years.
Clarkson did not, however, win outstanding daytime talk series host, an award she had won the last four years running. The award went instead to Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, the married stars of the syndicated Live With Kelly and Mark. It was a surprise win: Ripa and Consuelos weren’t in attendance, causing the show to run a little short.
This was Ripa’s sixth win in that category. Only three other hosts have won six or more times in the history of the category, which dates to 1974. Phil Donahue leads with nine awards in the category, followed by Oprah Winfrey (seven) and Rosie O’Donnell (also six). What’s most impressive about Ripa’s track record in the category is that she has won alongside four different co-hosts. She and Regis Philbin won twice in the category. She and Michael Strahan also won twice. She and Ryan Seacrest won once.
TV legend Dick Van Dyke won guest performance in a daytime drama series for his appearance on Days of our Lives on Peacock. At 98, Van Dyke is the oldest Daytime Emmy winner in history. “If I had known I was going to live that long, I would have taken better care of myself,” Van Dyke joked in accepting the honor. Van Dyke, who was featured on the Mary Poppins soundtrack, which topped the Billboard 200 for 14 weeks in 1965, was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame in 1995 and received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2020.
Selena + Chef: Home for the Holidays (Food Network), hosted by Selena Gomez, was nominated for outstanding culinary series. It lost to Be My Guest With Ina Garten.
Amanda Kloots and Jerry O’Connell, Emmy-nominated co-hosts of The Talk, opened the show with a special-material version of Petula Clark’s classic “Downtown,” a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1965. The rewrite was pretty corny, a throwback to the era when such segments were a staple of variety and awards shows.
The In Memoriam segment included entertainment reporter Sam Rubin (KTLA, Los Angeles) and actor and host Louis Gossett Jr.
If it doesn’t seem like a full year has gone by since the last Daytime Emmys, you’re on to something. The 2023 Daytime Emmys were held on Dec. 15. They were delayed six full months because of last year’s strikes by the Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA.
The Daytime Creative Arts & Lifestyle Emmy Awards will be presented on Saturday, June 8. It will stream live at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT at watch.TheEmmys.tv and via The Emmys apps for iOS, tvOS, Android, FireTV, and Roku.
The 51st annual Daytime Emmy Awards was produced by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI). Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong were executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie was executive producer from ATI.
Here are the 2024 Daytime Emmy nominations in selected categories, with winners marked. Categories with no winners marked will be presented on Saturday’s show. This list will be updated at that time.

Josh Groban is set to host the 15th annual Jimmy Awards, which are sort of like the Tony Awards for promising high school theater arts students. The awards are set to take place Monday, June 24, at the Minskoff Theatre in Manhattan.
The National High School Musical Theatre Awards (the formal name of the awards) celebrate individual talent in vocal, dance and acting performance. Named for the late Broadway impresario James M. Nederlander, the Jimmy Awards has been the catalyst for more than $6 million in educational scholarships.
“I am excited to be the host for the 15th annual Jimmy Awards!,” Groban said in a statement. “The dedication and immense talent of these nominees are truly inspiring. Arts education holds a dear place in my heart, and its profound impact is clearly showcased through these young talents each year at the Jimmy Awards.”

“…We are thrilled to have [Josh] join us in celebrating the achievements of, and giving inspiration to, high school musical theatre students across the country, including the over 100 student nominees performing on stage that night,” Jason Laks, interim president of The Broadway League, said in a statement.
(The Broadway League is also a co-presenter of the annual Tony Awards, along with the American Theatre Wing.)
Tickets for the Jimmy Awards start at $75 and go on sale to the general public on Monday, June 10 through BroadwayDirect.com.
The show will stream for free online beginning at 7:30 p.m. ET on Monday, June 24 via the Jimmy Awards Facebook and YouTube channels. The ceremony will remain available online for three days afterwards, through Thursday evening, June 27.
Groban co-hosted the Tony Awards six years ago with Sara Bareilles. The stars each received two Primetime Emmy nominations for their efforts – outstanding variety special (live) and outstanding original music and lyrics for co-writing the special-material song “This One’s for You” with Shaina Taub.
Groban is a two-time Tony nominee for best performance by a leading actor in a musical, for Natasha, Pierre & The Great Comet of 1812 (his Broadway debut) and Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Groban also received a Grammy nod for the Sweeney Todd cast album, which was nominated for best musical theater album at the ceremony held on Feb. 4.
Groban, 43, is also an active arts education philanthropist and advocate. His Find Your Light Foundation helps enrich the lives of young people through arts, education, and cultural awareness.
The 56th NAACP Image Awards will take place on Feb. 22, 2025, at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in Pasadena, Calif., where the show has been held 15 times since 1992. The ceremony will air live on BET.

The 2024 NAACP Image Awards were held on March 16. Usher received the President’s Award and also won entertainer of the year and outstanding male artist. Among music stars, Victoria Monét and Chris Brown also won multiple awards. Monét won outstanding album for Jaguar II and outstanding new artist. Brown won three awards, including two (outstanding music video/visual album and outstanding duo, group or collaboration, contemporary) for “Sensational,” featuring Davido & Lojay.
Queen Latifah hosted the show the last two years. Anthony Anderson, star of the long-running blackish, hosted the eight years before that.

Saturday Night Live has no fewer than eight songs in contention for outstanding original music & lyrics at this year’s Primetime Emmy Creative Arts Awards. The roster includes Maya Rudolph’s “Mothers Day Monologue,” in which she sings a “Vogue”-inspired song that pays tribute to the women of SNL as she strides through Studio 8H, and “Dune Popcorn Bucket,” in which the show that gave us “Dick in a Box” tries to top itself.
Four of the videos accompanying these songs feature major recording stars. Chris Stapleton shows personality and an unexpected flair for comedy in “Get That Boy Back.” Travis Scott is featured in “We Got Too High,” in which three kids are try in vain to keep up with the rap star’s marijuana use. Billie Eilish has some silly fun in “Tampon Farm.” Dave Grohl has a cameo as a minister at the end of “Lake Beach.”
These catchy and satirical songs are overseen by SNL’s music director Eli Brueggemann (who won in this category in 2018 for co-writing “Come Back Barack”) and music producer Jake Procanik.
Three SNL songs have won in this category over the years – “Dick in a Box,” the 2007 song from a Justin Timberlake-hosted episode that somehow managed to be both audacious and kinda sweet at the same time; “Justin Timberlake Monologue” (2011), in which JT sings a song about how he absolutely won’t sing that night; and “Come Back Barack,” a Boyz II Men-style ballad from a Chance the Rapper-hosted episode about how people in the Donald Trump years missed his more even-keeled predecessor.
SNL is currently tied with the annual Tony Awards telecast for having the most winners in this category. Three songs from the Tonys, all performed by host Neil Patrick Harris, won the award in 2012-14 – “It’s Not Just for Gays Anymore,” a sensational opening number from the 2011 show; “If I Had Time,” a very clever closing number from the 2012 show; and “Bigger!,” from the 2013 show, quite possibly the biggest opening number on any awards show ever. Who said less is more?
The outstanding original music & lyrics category originated in 1970. Notable winners over the years have included EGOT recipients Marvin Hamlisch and Robert Lopez; Broadway powerhouses Kander & Ebb and Lin-Manuel Miranda; Hot 100 chart-toppers Timberlake, Melanie, Walter Murphy, David Paich (Toto) and Ed Sheeran; and TV stars Seth MacFarlane, Sarah Silverman, Seth Meyers and Kenan Thompson.
Nominations for the 76th annual Primetime Emmy Awards will be announced on July 17. The 2024 Creative Arts Emmys will be held on Sept. 7-8 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The primetime Emmy telecast will be held on Sept. 15 at the same venue.
Here you can watch the eight SNL songs that are in contention for this year’s Primetime Emmy for outstanding original music & lyrics.

Swedish composer Ludwig Göransson, who won an Oscar, a Grammy and a BAFTA Award earlier this year for Oppenheimer, added to his trophy haul with multiple awards at the 40th annual BMI Film, TV and Visual Media Awards, which was held on June 5 at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in in Beverly Hills, Calif.
Icelandic composer Atli Örvarsson received six crystals, more than anyone else this year, for his work on hit TV shows.
Other multiple winners included Brian Tyler and Mike Post, both of whom are previous BMI Icon Award recipients, Sean Callery, Sherri Chung, Tom Howe, Deana Kiner, Kevin Kiner, Sean Kiner, John Murphy and Blake Neely.

Scores from the most successful films, the highest-rated series on TV, cable and streaming services, and for the first time in the ceremony’s history, the most popular video games of the previous year were honored. The inaugural winners in the new video game category were Stephen Barton, Chuck E. Myers “Sea,” J Scott Rakozy, Ted Reedy, and Inon Zur.
The event was co-hosted by BMI president and CEO Mike O’Neill and BMI vice president of creative, film, TV & visual media, Tracy McKnight.
As previously announced, composer Ramin Djawadi received the BMI Icon Award for his body of work across film, television and video games. Following a video tribute highlighting his successful career, Djawadi thanked his team and mentors Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt. He then brought his son and daughter to the stage and thanked his wife for being a driving force in his family’s life, saying “you are our icon.”
Previous BMI Icon Award recipients include (in addition to Tyler and Post), Terence Blanchard, Mychael Danna, Alexandre Desplat, Harry Gregson-Williams, James Newton Howard, Christopher Lennertz, Thomas Newman, Rachel Portman (PRS), Alan Silvestri and John Williams.
Djawadi, who was born in what was then known as West Germany, won back-to-back Primetime Emmy Awards in 2018-19 for outstanding music composition for a series (original dramatic score) for Game of Thrones.

The event was held one night after the BMI Pop Awards, at which Taylor Swift won pop songwriter of the year, the Miley Cyrus megahit “Flowers” was named song of the year; and Sony Music Publishing won publisher of the year.
Taylor Swift took pop songwriter of the year at the 2024 BMI Pop Awards, which were held at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. on Tuesday (June 4).
Swift had a hand in writing 10 of BMI’s most-performed songs of 2023 – “Anti-Hero,” “Bejeweled,” “Cruel Summer,” “Karma,” “Lavender Haze,” “Maroon,” “Midnight Rain,” “Snow on the Beach,” “Vigilante Shit” and “You’re on Your Own, Kid.” Swift has received a total of 65 BMI Awards, including the BMI President’s Award in 2009.
On Nov. 10, 2023, Swift received her seventh Grammy nomination for song of the year for “Anti-Hero,” which enabled her to set a new record for the most nods in the category.

Miley Cyrus, Gregory ‘Aldae’ Hein and Michael Pollack won the BMI Pop Award for song of the year for Cyrus’ megahit, “Flowers.” The smash entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 1 and remained there for eight nonconsecutive weeks. It won Grammys for record of the year and best pop solo performance on Feb. 4 (and was nominated for song of the year).
Sony Music Publishing received publisher of the year for the seventh year in a row. The company represented 34 of the previous year’s most performed songs, including “Anti-Hero,” “Barbie World,” “Eyes Closed,” “Flowers,” “Trustfall” and “Unholy.”
As previously announced, Benny Blanco, 36, received the BMI President’s Award. Blanco has won 55 BMI Awards, was named songwriter of the year four times, and won pop song of the year in 2013 for co-writing “Moves Like Jagger” performed by Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera.
Blanco has received two Grammy nods for song of the year, for the Julia Michaels hit “Issues” and the Justin Bieber smash “Love Yourself.” Blanco has gone 0-11 at the Grammys over the years, so this BMI recognition was probably especially meaningful.
Blanco was presented with the award by BMI president and CEO Mike O’Neill, who praised the songwriter as an “unstoppable creative force who has shaped the sound of popular music.” Some of Blanco’s top collaborators, including Lil Dicky, John Janick, Blake Slatkin and Ed Sheeran, sent in video congratulatory messages. Sia then hit the stage to perform Rihanna’s 2012 hit “Diamonds,” which she co-wrote with Blanco.
On receiving the honor, Blanco said, “We have the best job in the world, and we are so thankful and lucky to be in this room. We have the opportunity to make things better through music and help people. We’re giving the soundtrack to peoples’ lives.”
Previous recipients of the BMI President’s Award include Luis Fonsi, Noel Gallagher, Ellie Goulding, Imagine Dragons, Jay Kay of Jamiroquai, Ludacris, P!nk, Willie Nelson, Pitbull, Taylor Swift, Brian Wilson, and Dwight Yoakam.
BMI celebrated 53 first-time Pop Award winners including Sabrina Carpenter (“Nonsense”), Ice Spice (“Boy’s a Liar Pt. 2”), Jelly Roll and Rob Ragosta (“Need a Favor”), Kamille (“I’m Good (Blue)”) and Stephen Sanchez (“Until I Found You”).
The private event was co-hosted by O’Neill and BMI vice president, creative, worldwide, Barbara Cane.

Women have dominated the pop scene in recent years, so it’s fitting that they dominate the nominations for favorite song at the 2024 Kids’ Choice Awards too, filling six of the eight slots, Billboard can exclusively reveal. Dua Lipa, Miley Cyrus, Doja Cat, Beyoncé, Billie Eilish and Ariana Grande are vying for the award, along with Luke Combs and Justin Timberlake.
Beyoncé, Grande and Eilish have each won in this category twice in the past. If any of them wins again this year, they will tie Harry Styles as the only three-time winner in the history of the category (which dates to 1988). Styles won twice with One Direction and once on his own, with “As It Was” at last year’s show.

In other nomination news, America’s kids still consider Justin Timberlake to be slime-worthy. The pop veteran received nominations for favorite male artist (a category he won in 2007 and 2014), favorite song for “Selfish” and, with *NSYNC, favorite music group (a category the boy band won in 1999).
Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards 2024 will be simulcast live on the East Coast on Saturday, July 13, at 8 p.m. ET/PT across Nickelodeon, TeenNick, Nicktoons, the Nick Jr. channel, TV Land, CMT and MTV2. The show will be hosted by SpongeBob SquarePants (voiced by Tom Kenny) and Patrick Star (voiced by Bill Fagerbakke). This marks the first time that the show has been hosted by virtual characters.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants, which first aired on Nickelodeon as a sneak peek after the Kids’ Choice Awards on May 1, 1999, and officially premiered July 17 of that year. The 2024 Kids’ Choice Awards will re-create the undersea home of Bikini Bottom, the setting of SpongeBob SquarePants.
The Kids’ Choice Awards, complete with green slime and Nick’s signature orange blimp award, has long been a top attraction for young viewers. (O.G. fans of the show who were, say, 8 when the show debuted in 1987 are now 45. Time marches on, even when you’re being slimed.)
The show will be held at UCLA’s Pauley Pavilion for the first time since 2010 and the 11th time overall.
Beginning Monday (June 3), fans in the U.S. can cast their votes across 33 categories on the official Kids’ Choice Awards website, KidsChoiceAwards.com. International markets will also open voting today, including additional regional categories.
