Per other information on the Emmys website, there were Gold and Silver Circle honorees for News and Documentary Emmys, celebrated in September 2023.
https://theemmys.tv/news-44th-gold-silver-circle/

I don't know if there are Gold and Silver honorees in other divisions of the Emmys.

Up until October 13, 2023 they were accepting applications/suggestions/recommendations for more potential Gold and Silver honorees (apparently for the primetime Emmys? ). The decision on those have not yet been announced.
https://theemmys.tv/honors/
The blurb says:

• To be considered for induction in the 2023 Silver Circle, a candidate’s career must have begun prior to 1998.
• For 2023 Gold Circle consideration, a candidate’s career must have begun prior to 1973.
• An individual’s entire career need not have been spent with a single company or network.

The selection committee will consider the following criteria for all individuals recommended for induction into the Silver and Gold Circle.

• Service to the television or media-related industries.
• Service to the community involving television or allied media
• Service to people working in or training for careers in television or allied media.

There will be no outside circulation of ballots, lists of names under consideration, etc. All discussion of candidates will remain confidential. Only the names of those to be inducted will be announced.

they announced that the acting awards would be given out by last year’s winner of the opposite sex along with a legacy aka past winner from years earlier. So Francesca James was there with Kelly Thiebaud to give out the supporting actor award, and they mentioned how Francesca was the second to get that honor and had other Emmy’s for work that wasn’t acting. All the other presenters from the past were currently still acting in the genre…

To me, it was like a Kennedy Center Honors-type thing. I asked Vernee Watson about it, and she explained it was new to NATAS. 

[janea4old]

I posted everything I could find about the Gold and Silver Circle in the first two posts of this page.

Just in case it was mentioned, Bryton and Brytni did pose for some photos together but in terms of their relationship status I can't speak of it cause I don't know anything. Take what you want from their posing together.

I saw. Thank you so much for your research. Truly helpful information.

In May 1999 on the night that Susan Lucci finally won, it had been the last official workday out in Brooklyn at Another World. At the Emmys that night the show made no mention of Another World. From the mic Linda Dano mentioned the show. From the mic Stephen Schnetzer mentioned the show. Then, at the mic, accepting for Best Show, with her time ticking away, FIRST Wendy Riche said, "God bless everyone from Another World." Then she went on with her acceptance speech. Many of us will NEVER forget this moment of class & grace. 

And, it goes without saying that there should never be an official awards show that does not recognize any show that is leaving the fold at that time! 

Gold Derby let me know how I did. (Oy)
