In what’s quickly becoming an annual tradition, ASCAP members accounted for the majority of music winners at the 2010 Creative Arts Daytime Emmy Awards. During the awards ceremony, held on Friday, June 25th in New York at the Westin Bonaventure, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced that seven ASCAP writers would be singled out for their extraordinary musical achievements. This elite group included the successful team of Jack Allocco and David Kurtz, who earned the Daytime Emmy last year in the Outstanding Achievement in Music Direction and Composition for a Drama Series category. The duo also took home awards for their music to The Bold and the Beautiful and The Young and the Restless at the recent ASCAP Film & Television Music Awards.
Congratulations to all of our winners!
