Darin Brooks

Darin Brooks for his win as Outstanding Younger Actor and his funny speech! How cute was he with his win and the reaction he had after realizing he made a boo boo? Brooks became the first Days of Our Lives actor to win Outstanding Younger Actor since Billy Warlock won in 1988. He won out over fellow Days of Our Lives star Blake Berris, All My Children's Cornelius Smith Jr., Guiding Light's EJ Bonilla and 2007 Daytime Emmy Younger Actor winner Bryton James (McClure). The irony is that One Life to Live's Kristen Alderson and Brandon Buddy–both snubbed of nominations this year–presented the award. The 36th annual Daytime Emmy Awards heated up Hollywood at the historical Orpheum Theatre -- "The Insider" has your list of the award winners!
