The categories and names for the Daytime Emmy Nominations 2025 were released on Wednesday, July 9. The grand event is tentatively slated for October 17, 2025, and will take place in Pasadena.As is done every year, the announcement for the Daytime Emmy Nominations 2025 was made by The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, holding the acronym NATAS. All the categories and nominees for the Daytime Emmy Nominations 2025 have been revealed within two days of the announcement. Three of the popular daily soaps are expected to be judged for awards, which include ABC's General Hospital and CBS's The Young and the Restless. However, the newest CBS soap, Beyond the Gates, did not make it on the list of Daytime Emmy Nominations 2025.While the Daytime Emmy Nominations 2025 will consider shows between January 1 to December 31, 2024, many other parameters are in place for nominations. Another longstanding specification used for the Daytime Emmy Nominations 2025 is nominating not more than 50% of entries submitted when any category has fewer than ten submissions.This pushed some categories for Daytime Emmy Nominations 2025 to have fewer than five nominations. Incidentally, every category has one winner out of five nominations on average. Besides Daytime Drama and its best actors and actresses, other popular categories making it into the list for Daytime Emmy Nominations 2025 include Culinary Instructional Series, Lifestyle Programs, How-to Series, nature shows, and show hosts, among others.Daytime Emmy Nominations 2025: Categories and nominees View this post on Instagram Instagram PostWhile the categories below for the Daytime Emmy Nominations 2025 are listed randomly, the nominations are listed in alphabetical order by first name.
