49th Daytime Emmy nominations: ‘Young and the Restless,’ ‘Kelly Clarkson Show’ lead, Beyoncé earns first ever nod

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) today announced the nominees for the 49th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards where The Young and the Restless and General Hospital led the field for daytime dramas with 18 and 17 nominations apiece, respectively, while The Kelly Clarkson Show and The View lead daytime talk shows with nine each. 

Several firsts and benchmarks were hit today’s announcement including the time there are five nominees in the Daytime Drama category since 2014, the first time since 2012 there are African American nominees in both the Lead Performance: Actor and Lead Performance: Actress categories and the time a series and its spinoff will go head-to-head in the Best Daytime Drama category (Days of Our Lives/Days of Our Lives: Beyond Salem).

This Old House hits 100 nominations – and will become only the third series to receive Lifetime Achievement honors (joining 60 Minutes and Sesame Street) while first nominations were earned by Daytime Emmy nominations for MasterClass, discovery+ and IMDb TV as well as multi-Grammy winner and Academy Award nominee Beyoncé (Talks With Mama Tina Theme Song/Outstanding Original Song category).

Pat Sajak will be competing against himself in the game show host category — for both the daytime and primetime editions of his show. He’s up for the syndicated Wheel of Fortune, as well as ABC’s nighttime version, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.

Additionally, all nominees in the Outstanding Informative Talk Show and Outstanding Informative Talk Show Host categories are lead by people of color as hosts, including Jada Pinkett Smith, Whoopi Goldberg, Tamron Hall, Taraji P. Henson and Robin Roberts.

The Creative Arts & Lifestyle Daytime Emmy Awards will be presented on Saturday, June 18. The Daytime Emmy Awards telecast will be presented live at 9 PM EDT (replay at 9 PM PDT) on Friday, June 24, on the CBS Television Network and streamed on Paramount+.

The June 24 telecast will mark the 16th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmys, more than any other network. The Creative Arts and Lifestyle Emmy ceremony will stream live at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT on Saturday, June 18 at watch.TheEmmys.tv and via The Emmys apps for iOS, tvOS, Android, FireTV, and Roku (full list at apps.theemmys.tv). The final determination of categories presented on the CBS broadcast vs. Creative Arts ceremony will be announced closer to the respective airdates.
