In a statement, Adam Sharp, President and CEO, NATAS expressed: “We are pleased to set this new date with CBS for the Daytime Emmys to celebrate our Golden Anniversary. We know the loyal fans of daytime television have waited patiently to properly honor and recognize all of the deserving nominees and we look forward to the celebration we have all been waiting for.”

With the announcement of the 50th Daytime Emmys broadcast, it joins a jam-packed weekend of ceremonies from NATAS including: The Daytime Creative Arts & Lifestyle Emmys and the Children’s & Family Creative Arts Emmys on December 16th, The 2nd Annual Children’s & Family Emmy Awards and Trustees’ Gala on December 17th.  In addition, The Gold and Silver Circle honor society private luncheon, honoring 2023 Daytime and Children’s & Family inductees will take place on December 14th.

With the new date officially set for next month, it comes after NATAS and CBS’ decision to wait till the resolution of the SAG-AFTRA strike before confirming the new date (even though the Daytime Emmys and most of its categories fall under the SAG-AFTRA Network Code agreement, which was not a part of this year’s union strike).

This is great news. I look forward to seeing the show, especially seeing Susan Lucci get the Lifetime Achievement. “General Hospital” has been amazing the past few weeks, especially the work of Finola Hughes. Next year, I hope she submits the scenes where she found out she shot Charlotte. Laura Wright is excellent every day, as is Cynthia and Maura. I would love to see men to be written as strong as the women on the show, especially Martin and Drew.

Based on recent performances, Wally Kurth could submit himself in Lead for GH and Supporting for DAYS next year.

It’s happening! Thank God, even if it’s before Christmas, the Daytime Emmys are finally gonna happen, Good luck to all the Nominees.

This is great news. It will be nice to have Sonya Eddy, Peter White, Billy Mlller, Tyler Christopher and Jackie Zeman all be recognized in the Memoriam portion of the program this year. Since all passed this year, it can all be honored in the same year. I also look forward to seeing Susan Lucci be recognized for all her work in AMC.

Finally! What wonderful news! So happy!

I’m happy to see the Daytime Emmys will finally air. I wish Kelly Clarkson would host one year as she is a nominee and part of daytime. I think she would also be great to sing during the In Memoriam portion of the broadcast.

Does anyone know if they will be selling tickets to fans? I have attended in the past and it was so much fun! I

Finally! Thanks to CBS for stepping up since you have the top 2 soaps. And a chance to recognize Daytime icon, Susan Lucci with a Lifetime Achievement!
