The 47th Annual Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series goes to Bryton James, Devon on The Young and the Restless. This was his second Emmy win. In 2007, he won for Outstanding Younger Actor.

James played out an intense story last year as Devon had to mourn the death of his father and business partner, Neil Winters — the late Kristoff St. John, to whom James dedicated his win. He also thanked his lady love, Brytni Sarpy (Elena). Soap Hub congratulates Bryton James on taking home Daytime Emmy gold.

Daytime Emmy History

In 1972, the first daytime-themed Emmy Awards were handed out during the primetime ceremony, when The Doctors and General Hospital were nominated for Outstanding Achievement in a Daytime Drama — with The Doctors winning the first Best Show Daytime Emmy. Also at that same ceremony, Outstanding Achievement by an Individual in a Daytime Drama was awarded to Mary Fickett from All My Children.
