The nominations for the 50th Daytime Emmy Awards are in, and ABC’s “General Hospital” leads the way with 19 of them.
But it’s closely followed by other hit CBS soap operas, “Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless,” which round out the top three with 14 and 13 nominations, respectively.
The awards ceremony will broadcast live from the Westin Bonaventure Los Angeles on Friday, June 16, airing on CBS and Paramount+ at 9 pm ET and rebroadcasting at 9 pm on the West Coast. The Daytime Creative Arts & Lifestyle Emmy Awards will be presented the following day.
“Today we not only honor this year’s outstanding programs and individuals, we mark a milestone
in television history. Our golden anniversary celebrates the talented creators who have made the
unforgettable past 50 years of daytime television,” said Adam Sharp, president and CEO of
CREAM. “As we partner with CBS for another two years, we look forward to a very special 50th anniversary.
Daytime Emmy Awards this June.”
