Daytime Emmys Nominations Revealed: Only Three Soaps Will Compete For Best Drama This Year
By Lynette Rice

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has revealed all the nominees for the 52nd Annual Daytime Emmys, which are set for October 17 in Pasadena.
Only three daytime dramas earned nominations this year: ABC’s General Hospital (last year’s winner), Peacock’s Days of Our Lives and CBS’ The Young and the Restless. NATAS 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.”
Don’t be surprised by the absence of Beyond the Gates, CBS’ new soap that bowed in February of this year. The eligibility window for this year’s Daytime Emmy nominees was January 1-December 31, 2024, with the judging
period running May 22-June 9. Beyond the Gates will be eligible next year.
In the Daytime Talk Series category announced last night, last year’s
winner The Kelly Clarkson Show is up again alongside The Drew Barrymore
Show, 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.
Among this year’s noms leaders are Young and the Restless with 19, General Hospital with 16, Days of Our Lives with 13, Drew Barrymore with nine and
Kelly Clarkson with eight.
