2025 Daytime Emmy nominations announced
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) unveiled the first batch of nominees for the 52nd Annual Daytime Emmys on Wednesday.
The prestigious awards will be presented on October 17 during a ceremony in Pasadena, News.Az reports, citing Deadline.
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.”
In the Daytime Talk Series category announced tonight, 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.
Nominees for Outstanding Lead Actor and Lead Actress in a Daytime Drama Series, Outstanding Lifestyle Program, Outstanding Culinary Instructional Series, Outstanding Instructional/How-To Program and Outstanding Travel or Adventure Program were also announced today.
The full nomination list will be revealed at 9 a.m. PT Thursday.
Don’t be surprised by the absence on this year’s Daytime Emmy noms list 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.
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. Check back Thursday morning for the full list.
