NATAS/CBS

UPDATED with full list, 9:00 am: The nominations for the 50th Daytime Emmy Awards started trickling in Tuesday night, but now we have the full list. ABC’s General Hospital leads with 19 nominations, followed by long-running CBS soaps “The Bold and the Beautiful” (14) and “The Young and the Restless” (13) and NBC/Peacock’s “Days of Our Lives” (11) . All are also vying for the Daytime Drama Series marquee prize.

The Kelly Clarkson Show leads the conversation field with 11 names, followed by syndies The Drew Barrymore Show and The Jennifer Hudson Show with seven and six, respectively. Hudson didn’t make it as Daytime Program Host, but Wendy Williams’ successor, Sherri Shepherd, did.

See the full list below.

The Golden Jubilee Ceremony is scheduled for Friday June 16th. CBS will air the show and Paramount+ will carry it live at 9pm ET and delayed west at 9pm PT. The Daytime Creative Arts & Lifestyle Emmys are presented the next day.
