Daytime Emmy Awards Announce Category Changes for 51st Annual Ceremony in Entertainment News

The nominations for the 51st annual Daytime Emmy Awards have been announced, with Netflix’s documentary series ‘African Queens: Njinga’ leading the pack alongside long-standing daytime dramas like ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ and ‘The Young and the Restless.’ The enduring ABC soap opera ‘General Hospital’ also received multiple nominations.

In the talk show category, ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ secured the most nods, followed by ‘The View.’ Some newcomers to the Emmy scene include ‘Downey’s Dream Cars,’ ‘Selena + Chef: Home for the Holidays,’ ‘Neighbours,’ and ‘Extraordinary Birder with Christian Cooper.’

One of the surprises this year is the nomination of Eric Braeden for his portrayal of Victor Newman on ‘The Young and the Restless,’ marking his first Emmy nod in 20 years. Braeden, who previously declined submissions for consideration, last won the award in 1998.

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has introduced changes to this year’s categories, including the elimination of certain categories and the merging of others. The nominees cover a wide array of daytime programming, from drama series to culinary shows to educational programs.

The Daytime Emmy Awards, set to air live on June 7 on CBS and Paramount+, promise to be an exciting celebration of excellence in daytime television. Stay tuned for updates on the hosts, presenters, and honorees for this prestigious event.
