Daytime Emmy Awards 2024 nominations unveiled: full list and highlights

The nominations for the 51st annual Daytime Emmy Awards have been announced, spotlighting a mix of established and new contenders in various categories.

Netflix's documentary series "African Queens: Njinga" and three long-standing daytime dramas, CBS's "The Bold and the Beautiful" and "The Young and the Restless," along with Peacock's "Days of Our Lives," lead with a dozen nominations each.

ABC's enduring soap opera "General Hospital" follows closely behind with 11 nominations.

In the talk show category, "The Kelly Clarkson Show" leads with nine nominations, while "The View" trails with seven nominations.

Among the newcomers to the Emmy scene are "Downey's Dream Cars" on Max for Best Lifestyle Program, "Selena Chef: Home for the Holidays" on Food Network for Culinary Series, "Neighbours" on Amazon Freevee for Daytime Drama, and "Extraordinary Birder with Christian Cooper" on Nat Geo for Travel, Adventure, and Nature. Christian Cooper also received a nod for Best Daytime Personality in a non-daily format.

A noteworthy surprise is the nomination of Eric Braeden, marking his first Emmy nod in 20 years for his role as Victor Newman on "The Young and the Restless." Braeden had previously declined submissions for consideration and last won the award in 1998.

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has made several changes to this year's categories. They have eliminated the Outstanding Younger Performer in a Daytime Drama and Outstanding Promotional Announcement categories.

Additionally, they merged the categories for Outstanding Writing for a Daytime Non-Fiction Series and Outstanding Writing for Daytime Non-Fiction Special into Outstanding Writing for a Daytime Non-Fiction Programme. The Daytime Programme Host category has been split into Daytime Personality Daily and Daytime Personality Non-Daily.
