The 48th Daytime Emmy Awards experienced a major embarrassment Friday when the broadcast confused two black actresses during the In Memoriam tribute, prompting a public apology from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
Friday’s awards telecast misidentified the late The Young and the Restless star Marguerite Ray, who died last year at 89, during the segment that pays tribute to prominent industry personalities who passed away in 2020.
Instead of using Ray’s photograph, the broadcast displayed a photo of another Young and the Restless actress — Veronica Redd, who is still alive.
“We deeply regret this error and intend to re-edit the sequence for subsequent digital releases once a replacement image can be appropriately licensed,” the Daytime Emmys said on its official Twitter account the next day.
“We sincerely apologize to the Ray family — as well as to Veronica Redd, whose image was inadvertently used instead. Each of these Daytime icons deserved better from our Academy.”

Well they all look alike anyway, right Libbies?
Looks like “they all look alike” to the Wokesheviks. So long as they further the New Soviet narrative that’s all that matters.

Idiots on multiple levels. Then again only idiots watch that crap anyway.

Its OK, literally no one was watching.
Couldn’t tell you the last time any of it was watched.
They all look the same to leftists. Ask Nana Pelosi.
Since these awards were for daytime shows, why wasn’t the award show on in the daytime?
Dear me...I have no difficulty identifying Dr. Thomas Sowell, Justice Clarence Thomas, Morgan Freeman, Lt. Col Allen West, Denzell Washington, and others from photographs, yet they are all older black men. (Try it yourself...search for images of these gentlemen)
What’s WRONG with these stupid libs? Are they raciss or something?
Black people all look alike to the white liberals.
