The 2016 Daytime Emmys aren't must-see TV, apparently.

That's because, for the second time in the last three years, the annual event wasn't broadcast on television. No matter. Dozens of stars still walked the red carpet Sunday at L.A.'s Westin Bonaventure, including Adrianne Bailon, Candace Cameron Bure, Mario Lopez, Daphne Oz and Dr. Mehmet Oz. ABC's General Hospital took home five awards, including Outstanding Drama Series.

The 43rd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards recognized outstanding achievement in all fields of daytime television production. Individuals and programs broadcast from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. during the 2015 calendar year were eligible for awards; see a complete list of nominees here.

"We are thrilled to be saluting the best and brightest in what has been a fantastic year for Daytime television," Bob Mauro, President, NATAS, said in a statement. "We are blessed with an embarrassment of outstanding nominees and none could shine brighter than this year's Lifetime Achievement honoree, Sonia Manzano. Over the last 40-plus-years, we, and many of our children, have followed her iconic journey as 'Maria' on Sesame Street and the National Academy is thrilled to be able to salute her tonight for her extraordinary achievement."
