It brought tears to my eyes to hear the audience applaud so enthusiastically for Charita Bauer. Bert Bauer was one of a kind and GL was never the same without her.

These old award shows are wonderful!

Between Kim Zimmer's spikey big hair and Darnell Williams' Miami Vice inspired outfit...this is definitely the 80s! LOL

Something else, daytime stars were always dressed so nice and so classy. Their awards shows were and still are the best👍♥️♥️

These old award shows, the commercials, the style and sophistication gives me the fuzzies, tv was such a great escape for me.

Brian Bloom- Those eyes...

Beth and Phillip in high school with Rick and Mindy was such a GREAT story❤❤❤❤😊

Lola Falana looked terrific in that dress.

This was cool to watch. The outfits, jewelry and big hair....I can smell the hairspray😂😂!! And, in 2023 every single game show in the game show category is currently on the air...that's amazing!!

Charita Bauer we love you!

I remember the olden days. The awards were during the daytime and they would rotate between channels and so basically the channel that had it would preempty their soap operas so that they could run the show. So basically you had the show start like 2 in the afternoon and run until 5 in the afternoon that day usually between May and September.

i agree with the other viewers,the 80s were the best so were the awards................thanks for this rare gem

OMG!! Look at Judi and Michael.. Rick and Beth from GL.. Love it!!!

You can tell this was back in the day before stars had stylist & they dressed themselves!🤭 Gotta love the 80's!

A lovely acceptance speech by Beth Maitland. (First category at 0:46.)

Larry gates was a gem of a find for GL, I'm so glad he got recognized! Thanks for uploading this!

I miss these people and soaps in the 80s were fabulous

DARNELL WILLIAMS IS A WONDERFUL ACTOR AND DESERVED HIS EMMY WIN 😀👍👍 CONGRATULATIONS JESSE

I miss the old days. So many are gone now, the stars and shows😥☹️. My daughter was a baby then. I remember this show. Ah, we were all so young. Thanks for sharing these.👍♥️

I remember watching this when it aired. Kristian Alfonso looks stunning. Actually, everyone looks amazing. Of course, we were all younger which probably helps. LOL!!!!! Good memories.

I love to watch the classic retros.

The 80s was so glamorous.

Academy Award winner Melissa Leo was nominated for Best Ingenue! That was a pleasant surprise!

Beth is so fantastic on YNR and Still so today 🤗🤗 luv her she's a great actress 👍👍 Congratulations on your EMMY BETH ❤️🤗😄

I thoroughly enjoyed the 80s, despite only having been born in 1984!

Thanks for uploading this. I love looking at vintage fashion from the 80s! :-)

This was probably the only one time that Bob Barker knew and met Peter (No Whammies) Tomarken at the 12th Daytime Emmy Awards. Sometimes I wonder if Peter appear on The Price is Right and did the plug his game show Press Your Luck.

These commercials was so awesome.

So much talent in one room. Amazing! Thank you so much for uploading!

Lola Falana is Simply beautiful 😍😍 and looks Stunning 👍👍

Thanks for uploading! It looks like All My Children (my favorite soap) was the only non CBS soap to win at this ceremony. Luckily the victories they got were deserved i.e. Darnell Williams for Lead Actor & for Writing Team.

back when they had class... very entertaining...

They had beautiful fashion in the 80's.

I love this so much.

@Dapar--- I personally, have been able to enjoy this Show at least 20 rimes over the last 3 months thanks to you!!!!! These vintage classic Daytime Emmy Awards Broadcasts are so treasured by all of us Soap Fans. They bring back countless great memories and are so so so rare to easily find. Thanks to you, w have been able to 'Go back to 1985' anytime we want since May. Smile~~Jaymes (Popstarboy).

Thank You So Much

Kim Zimmer was rocking her '80's Patti Labelle hairdo!

Kim Zimmer channeled her inner Patti LaBelle "New Attitude"

Melody rocking a rhinestone New York Ranger jersey!

A trip to the 1985 Daytime Emmys was a prize on Press Your Luck that Summer. Peter Tomarken presented here while Press Your Luck never got nominated for best show nor TOmarken for best host.

Love seeing MTS, TB and BM - all 3 are still on Y&R

Oh how I miss the soaps! When I was growing up, ABC and CBS had 4 each and NBC had 3. My beloved Grammy wouldn’t take the phone off the hook between 1230-4. 🤣

Please tell me you have more Daytime Emmy ceremonies from the 80s. This decade was perfect!

Peter Reckell was so handsome I still love him today❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Darnell Williams snatching the Emmy from one of Barker's beauties.....too funny

OMG! The women's hair do's lmbo the 80's were great

Y&R was solid during this era!

Anyone looking for Brian Bloom's win and speech, it's at 25:18

Kim Zimmer's hair was A LOT!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

OH those were the days. Susan Lucci had no Emmy and the drama and suspense was a big thing. Kim Zimmer looked crazy.

9:44 This was sadly two months before Johnny Olsen's death.

Wow I love bo and nicki

The magic words uttered by the greatest voice of America... 10:34

Guiding Light!!!!!

Excited that Darnell Williams became a second black actor to win a Emmy after Al Freeman won.Happy Black History Month.

Pat Sajak and Vanna @ 48:24 😂😂😂 the comedic timing like a classic comedy team

1:41:07 The look of defeat on Susan Lucci's face before the winner was even announced. You could tell the losing streak was taking its toll on her even then.

1:08:41 congrats to Sonia Manzano and Emilio Delgado. Rip emilio as Luis

Dang look like MEK. I can see why they called him Tad the Cad now.

All those empty tables 😂

Hope was a True Beauty

i bet zimmer looks back on this and wishes she chose a less feral look.

I see youthful Jason Alexander with lots of hair in a burger commercial starting at 43:19

Brian Blooms EYES 😍

Where’s outstanding children’s animated program

Poor Tony is blocked by other guests, who played Herb Calison

Beth

Guiding Light!!

1:41:43 So *THAT'S* what Patti LaBelle looks like as a Caucasian!

What is this all the old guys.

I had forgotten that Bob hosted the 1985 Emmys.

Kim Zimmer can act but I hated Reva Shane. Turning GL into Reva Shane Show was part of downfall of GL.
