The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences on Wednesday revealed the first of it nominees for the 52nd annual Daytime Emmys, which are set to be bestowed October 17 during a ceremony in Pasadena.
Only three daytime dramas earned nominations this year. 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.”
Nominees for Outstanding Culinary Instructional Series were also revealed.
Nominees for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Daytime Drama Series and Outstanding Lifestyle Program were shared earlier today on Entertainment Tonight, while Extra revealed the noms for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Daytime Drama Series and Outstanding Instructional/How-To Program.
More categories will be revealed later tonight. The full nomination list will be revealed at 9 a.m. PT Thursday.
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 to June 9.
Beyond the Gates will be eligible next year.
After eliminating the Outstanding Younger Performer in a Daytime Drama category, NATAS is set to launch the new category Outstanding Emerging Talent in a Daytime Drama Series this year. It also split the Culinary Series and Travel, Nature and Adventure categories.
Below is the first set of nominees. Keep checking back as more categories are revealed.
