The National Academy of Televison Arts & Sciences is rolling out the nominations for Daytime Emmys, announcing a handful of categories on Thursday night and revealing the rest on Friday morning. More categories will be announced this afternoon at 4:30 p.m. PT, and then at 8:30 p.m. PT, with the rest tomorrow.
Among the categories shared on Thursday: Daytime Drama Series Lead Actor, Daytime Drama Series Lead Actress, Daytime Talk Series Host, Daytime Drama Series and Daytime Talk Series. The 51st annual Daytime Emmy Awards will air live on Friday, June 7, at 8 p.m. ET on CBS (delayed on the west coast).
Effective this Daytime Emmys will no longer include a category devoted to younger performers in a daytime drama; they’ll now be required to enter lead, supporting or guest categories.
The eligibility period for the 2024 Daytime Emmys is Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, 2023. Here are this year’s nominees:
Outstanding Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series: Actor
Eric Braeden as Victor Newman, “The Young and the Restless” (CBS)
Scott Clifton as Liam Spencer, “The Bold and the Beautiful” (CBS)
Thorsten Kaye as Ridge Forrester, “The Bold and the Beautiful” (CBS)
Eric Martsolf as Brady Black, “Days of Our Lives” (Peacock)
John McCook as Eric Forrester, “The Bold and the Beautiful” (CBS)
The 2024 ceremony will once again take place at the Westin Bonaventure hotel in downtown Los Angeles. This is the second year in a two-year telecast deal that NATAS had set with CBS, which has broadcast the Daytime Emmys 18 times, more than any other network.
Among other category changes, also eliminated is the category for outstanding promotional announcement. Meanwhile, the categories devoted to outstanding writing for a daytime non-fiction series and outstanding writing for daytime non-fiction special have been merged into a new category: Outstanding writing for a daytime non-fiction program. And the daytime program host category has been split into two categories: “daytime personality–daily,” and “daytime personality-non-daily.”
At the 2023 event, which awarded programs that aired through the 2022 calendar year, “General Hospital” dominated the competition, winning seven awards, while “The Kelly Clarkson Show” pulled off six wins.
Associated Television International will once again produce the Daytime Emmys with NATAS. ATI also produced Daytime Emmy Award ceremonies on The CW in 2009 and on CBS in 2010, 2011, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong are executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie is executive producer from ATI.
