The 52nd Annual Daytime Emmys, otherwise known as the daytime soaps’ biggest night, are underway Friday in Pasadena, CA.
Among this year’s nominations leaders to look for during tonight’s ceremony emceed by Mario Lopez at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium are CBS’ The Young and the Restless with 19, ABC’s General Hospital with 16, Peacock’s Days of Our Lives with 13, The Drew Barrymore Show (syndicated) with nine and The Kelly Clarkson Show (syndicated) with eight.
Only three daytime dramas will vie for the top prize for Outstanding Drama: General Hospital (last year’s winner), Days of Our Lives and The Young and the Restless. The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences says the default target is five, but guidelines state that “in any category where there are fewer than ten (10) submissions, no more than 50% of submitted entries may be nominated. This is a longstanding rule that the National Awards Committee is enforcing across all competitions to ensure the integrity of NATAS competitions and maintain the reputation of excellence for nominees.”
Sadly, a new player in the sudser world won’t be competing this year. CBS’ Beyond the Gates just bowed in February of this year; the eligibility window for this year’s Daytime Emmy nominees ended on December 31, 2024. Beyond the Gates, which has been renewed for a second season, will be eligible next year.
Tonight, in the Daytime Talk Series category, last year’s winner Kelly Clarkson is up again alongside Drew Barrymore, The Jennifer Hudson Show, Live with Kelly and Mark and The View. Clarkson, Barrymore, Hudson and Live‘s Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos were also nominated in the Talk Show Host category, joined by the Today duo of Jenna Bush Hager and Hoda Kotb, the latter of which exited the show earlier this year.
Follow along below to track the winners as they are announced.
