Emmy season is in full swing with the announcement of the nominees for the 48th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards! Fans waited with bated breath to see if their favorites from Bold & The Beautiful, Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, and The Young & The Restless.
While it will be held virtually due to COVID precautions, the Daytime Emmys are being broadcast this year again on CBS to air on Friday, June 25...
The daytime drama Emmy nominees are:
I only included the categories where GH has at least one nominee.
Outstanding Drama Series
B&B
DAYS
GH
Y&R
Outstanding Lead Actress
Melissa Claire Egan (Chelsea, Y&R)
Genie Francis (Laura, GH)
Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis, GH)
Finola Hughes (Anna/Alex, GH)
Jacqueline MacInnes Wood (Steffy, B&B)
Three nominees for this category. Really GH?
No Maura West/Ava. No Laura Wright/Carly.
Outstanding Lead Actor
Maurice Benard (Sonny, GH)
Steve Burton (Jason, GH)
Thorsten Kaye (Ridge, B&B)
Wally Kurth (Justin, DAYS)
Dominic Zamprogna (Dante, GH)
Three nominees again for this category. Dante? Lead Actor? Gag!!!
Outstanding Supporting Actress
Marla Adams (Dina, Y&R)
Tamara Braun (Ava, DAYS)
Carolyn Hennesy (Diane, GH)
Briana Nicole Henry (Jordan, GH)
Courtney Hope (Sally, B&B)
Great to see Diane in this category. As for the other one...
Outstanding Supporting Actor
Darin Brooks (Wyatt, B&B)
Max Gail (Mike, GH)
Bryton James (Devon, Y&R)
Jeff Kober (Cyrus, GH)
James Patrick Stuart (Valentin, GH)
Another category with three nominees. Any other year Valentin but Max deserves this especially since he took himself out of the category last year. This would be the last year he's eligible as Mike.
No comment on that other one.
Outstanding Younger Performer
Tahj Bellow (TJ, GH)
Victoria Konefal (Ciara, DAYS)
Ayvia Alyn Lind (Faith, Y&R)
Katelyn MacMullen (Willow, GH)
Sydney Mikayla (Trina, GH)
Another "don't understand" with T.J. At first I didn't get Willow either but then it hit me; any female who has to pretend to be "gaga" for Milktoast deserves a nod.
Pulling for Trina.
Outstanding Guest Performer
Kim Delaney (Jackie, GH)
George DelHoyo (Orpheus, DAYS)
Briana Lane (Brook Lynn, GH)
Cady McClain (Jennifer, DAYS)
Victoria Platt (Amanda, DAYS)
No comment on Jackie.
Briana Lane was the BrookLynn recast when the other one was on maturity maternity leave. Good for her!
