Daytime Emmy Awards 2024: Nominations out for June awards

The 51st annual Daytime Emmy Awards will air live in June on CBS and Paramount+. Nominations for the same have been revealed in five key categories, including Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, Outstanding Daytime Talk Series, Outstanding Daytime Talk Show Host and Outstanding Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series for both actress and actor.

The organisers have made some changes to daytime categories. For eg. the Outstanding Younger Performer in a Daytime Drama and Outstanding Promotional Announcement categories are no longer there.

The Outstanding Writing for a Daytime Non-Fiction Series and Outstanding Writing for Daytime Non-Fiction Special have been merged into Outstanding Writing for a Daytime Non-Fiction Program and the Daytime Program Host category has been split into two categories, namely Daytime Personality Daily and Daytime Personality Non-Daily.
