Oprah Winfrey had the golden touch at the Daytime Emmy Awards this year, winning two of her own and then presenting the award for best drama series to ABC’s “All My Children.”

“This is getting to be nice,” Winfrey said Wednesday night as she accepted her fourth consecutive award for outstanding talk-show host. Her popular program also was named best talk show.

Soap opera queen Susan Lucci, famous for losing Emmy Awards, played hostess at the 21st annual Daytime Emmy Awards, televised on ABC. Lucci, who has played Erica Kane on “All My Children” for 23 years, has lost the award 14 times and was not nominated this year.

The best soap opera actress honor went to Hillary B. Smith for her portrayal of Nora Gannon on ABC’s “One Life to Live.” Two of her fellow cast members also won: Susan Haskell (who plays Marty Saybrooke) was named best supporting actress, and Roger Howarth (Todd Manning) was selected best younger actor.

Michael Zaslow, who plays Roger Thorpe on CBS’ “Guiding Light,” won as lead actor, and Justin Deas, also of “Guiding Light,” as best supporting actor for his portrayal of Buzz Cooper.

ABC picked up the most awards Wednesday night, but counting the Emmys that had been handed out earlier in non-televised ceremonies, CBS was the big winner overall, capturing 17 statuettes. PBS was next with 12, followed by ABC and syndicated programs with nine each, and NBC with three. Fox, the Disney Channel and Nickelodeon got two apiece, and HBO and Lifetime each got one.

“Sesame Street” was named best children’s series and also picked up six other awards, making it the most-honored program of this year’s Emmys. “Guiding Light” and CBS’ “The Bold and the Beautiful” garnered five each, and “The Oprah Winfrey Show” and “One Life to Live” each got four.

Winners were determined by peer panels of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. The awards were for programs broadcast in the period from Feb. 6, 1993 to Feb. 5, 1994.
