The Daytime Emmy Awards occupy a strange place among US television awards shows. They’re clearly subordinate to the Primetime Emmy Awards which not only has their own ceremony but holds it several months after their daytime counterparts. The Primetime Emmy Awards are held in September and hosted by a big name celebrity (Steven Colbert was the 2017 host). The Daytime Emmys have yet to announce a host after the 2017 Awards were hosted by Mario Lopez and Sheryl Underwood. The Primetime Emmy Awards will be broadcast by CBS while it’s not yet been determined if the Daytime Emmy Awards will air live at all. Daytime Emmy Awards tickets are being sold through Ticketmaster should you want to attend live.
Soap operas are the big draw on the Daytime Emmy Awards–aficionados call them ‘Daytime Dramas’ while the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences refers to them simply as a ‘Drama Series’. That’s also what they call nighttime drama series on the separate Primetime Emmy Awards show but no one seems to get confused. The other shows that are honored on the Daytime Emmy Awards are talk shows, game shows, morning shows and kids shows. There are award categories for Spanish language programming in most categories as well. The actors and actresses on these shows get recognized on the Daytime Emmy Awards while the technical staff gets kicked down the awards pantheon even further into a separate ceremony called the ‘Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards’ which is held a couple of days earlier.
Since the soap operas aka daytime dramas are the focal point of the Daytime Emmy Awards ‘the Academy’ releases an early list of ‘pre-nominees’ which will eventually get cut down to five nominees in the acting categories. The final nominations will be announced on the CBS TV show ‘The Talk’ on March 21, 2018. We’re focusing on the ‘Drama’ categories for now. The rest of the nominees in the other categories be revealed at a later date.
