Howarth, Maitland Win Supporting Emmys Decades After First Awards

Roger Howarth and Beth Maitland of "The Young and the Restless" took the supporting acting awards at the 53rd annual Daytime Emmys on Friday night in Los Angeles, each collecting a trophy decades after their first. The ceremony was held at the Hollywood Palladium and streamed live for the second consecutive year.

Howarth, who plays Matt Clark on the CBS soap, first won in 1994 in the younger actor category for his role as Todd Manning on "One Life to Live." Maitland was cited for playing Traci Abbott, a part she began in 1982, the same year she won her first supporting actress award. She has played the role off and on since.

Maitland told the audience she was "equally as gobsmacked back then as a young actress," adding, "I can't tell you how meaningful it is to be here." She then spoke about the other nominees, saying, "Every one of you a winner, every one of you a part of the contribution daytime makes in a world gone mad."

Tracee Ellis Ross won in the travel and adventure category for her Roku program "Solo Traveling with Tracee Ellis Ross," saying "Wow, how fun is this?" after her name was read. Ross had been nominated five times for the Primetime Emmys for the ABC comedy "black-ish." Ambyr Michelle took the emerging talent award in daytime drama, the second year the category has been presented. "I don't just see an award," she said. "I see a promise fulfilled."

Sherri Shepherd won as daytime talk series host for "Sherri," which ended its four-season run in May.
