OZ’ WIN TOP KUDOS Variety, June 16, 2013 NBC’s “Days of Our Lives” took the gold for drama series at the 40th annual Daytime Emmy Awards on Sunday. The win marked the first time since 1975 that the sudser has won the top prize at the Daytime Emmy fete — and only its second drama series nod in its nearly 50-year run on NBC. And to make it that much sweeter, the victory coincided with the birthday of “Days” exec producer Ken Corday. “Pinch me,” he said. “Today is a great day to celebrate.” The Beverly Hilton was abuzz earlier in the kudofest as George Lucas picked up his first Emmy — and the second award ever in his long career — for “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” at the 40th annual fete.
