Viewers of this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards have slammed the broadcast after it was seemingly riddled with errors.Talk show panelists, soap opera actors and game show hosts all descended on the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, California, on Friday night for the prestigious awards. Star Jones, Keke Palmer and Jennifer Hudson were all among the famous faces – but the star-studded guest list was not enough to save the awards from criticism.Daytime TV fans who tuned in found a range of issues from the style of presentation to errors with sound.Watchers were first left confused after getting a glimpse behind the curtain when cameras cut to show those in the auditorium being given instructions.’What the heck was that? They shouldn’t have been showing her directing the audience, hilarious!’ one wrote in disbelief.’Anyone catch the acceptors being instructed on what to do if their name is called.’That was awkward… not sure they meant to stream that…,’ another added.

There were also complaints about the production specifics, as one viewer wrote on X: ‘Daytime Emmys your sound is terrible tonight on the feed.’And it did not take long for people to want to boycott the show altogether – with some actually longing for adverts to break up the program. ‘This Daytime Emmys show is terrible! The announcer is cringe and the production is a mess,’ one wrote.’I haven’t watched the Daytime Emmy Awards for many years. So far it’s disappointing and slow. ‘Even the audience (the people of Daytime) look elite and bored. Their tables still have dirty dishes on them. What a mess!’ another added.’Never thought I’d say this, but this Daytime Emmys YouTube broadcast could use a few commercial breaks. ‘Or a musical performance or something to add variety and break the award portions up a bit,’ someone else urged. The show aims to recognize outstanding artistic and technical achievement in daytime television programming.
