Daytime Emmy 2023 Nominations: ‘General Hospital,’ ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Lead Nominations

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) today announced the nominees for the 50^th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards.

The festivities celebrating the best of daytime television is set for Friday, June 16. CBS will air the show and simulcast on Paramount+ streaming live at 9:00 pm EST and will air delayed on the west coast at 9:00 pm PST. The June 16^th telecast will mark the 17^th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmys, more than any other network.

The Daytime Emmy Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in television programming and crafts since 1974, honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, and legal/courtroom programs. In 2021, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.

All awards are judged by a pool of more than 1,000 peer professionals from across the television industry, whose confidential ballots were then tabulated by the independent accounting firm of Lutz & Carr, LLP.
