Daytime Emmy Winner! Outstanding Supporting Actor: Roger Howarth

This year's Daytime Emmy nominees for Outstanding Supporting Performer in a Drama Series, Actor were:

Sean Dominic (Nate Hastings), The Young and the Restless

Timon Kyle Durrett (Bill Hamilton), Beyond the Gates

Michael Graziadei (Daniel Romalotti), The Young and the Restless

Roger Howarth (Matt Clark), The Young and the Restless

Mike Manning (Smitty Smith), Beyond the Gates

Lawrence Saint-Victor (Carter Walton), The Bold and the Beautiful

And the Winner Is

The Young and the Restless' Roger Howarth ultimately took home the gold for playing a new version of an old character. Howarth's version of Matt Clark is currently much different than the Matt we knew before. After hitting his head, he woke up with no memory of the villain he was. Now, he has his memories back and is struggling to be a good person, if that is even possible.

This was Howarth's second Daytime Emmy win, with the first one coming in 1994 for playing Todd Manning on One Life to Live, a role he played on and off for two decades. The actor was visibly moved after accepting his award from co-star Susan Walters (Diane Jenkins).

"I'm really, really happy. I love being an actor," he said during his acceptance. "I want to say thank you to Sally and CBS and to Sony and a cast and a crew that made me feel so welcome...I don't know how to say thank you except to say thank you."
