So, what do you think of the 53rd annual Daytime Emmy nominations? Who are you happy to see receive a nomination and who do you think was snubbed? Weigh-in via the comment section.
Michael F
Can you check with her people to see if Erika Slezak didn’t submit for Guest Performer? That’s the only logical reason she didn’t get nominated.
With her out of the running, it’s Kober vs Wise in that category.
Howarth nominated for a despised character he played for only a few months in the eligibility period? A nomination that should’ve went to Jon Lindstrom or Rick Hearst.
A well deserved nod for Setton, but Havins should’ve got one too.
Glad to see both Mazza & Bruner get accolades.
Re: RoGo – It’s the problem with shows that produce 250 episodes but only a few minutes are submitted…
It’s a 15 minute reel u can put as many scenes or moments as you want to
Congratulations to the team at Beyond the Gates for their historic nominations this year! This year is theirs to win! Being the second-most nominated soap is outstanding! They are the clear underdogs and will come out victoriously!
How is a show with the 2nd most noms an underdog?
Because they’re new….?
Congratulations to CBS and DAYS
I think that General Hospital will win again for best daytime drama and possibly best directing team
GH is an outstanding drama soap with Sonny, Jason, Carly, all of the actors are just fantastic. I watch the show everyday. I’m praying GH win for that show deserve it.
It would really make me so happy if beyond the gates wins a lot of awards. I’m pulling for them 100%.
Me too!
Me three
I’m disappointed, but I’m not sure if the actors submitted a reel. I think we can all agree that Erika Slezak should have a been a shoo-in for a nomination, if not the winner for Outstanding Guest Performance. I would have liked to have seen Genie Francis, Katelyn MacMullen or Jane Elliott in the Lead Actress category. Cameron Mathison in the Lead Actor. I’d love to see Giovanni Mazza win Emerging Talent.
I agree.
Y&R definitely utilized the block voting system. The one thing accurate, is they weren’t nominated for best writing!
Complain, Complain. Y & R doesn’t deserve this or that or certain nominations well they are the # 1 soap and just shut up. Watch or don’t it’s that simple
I have to admit, the number of noms Y&R got is laughable. Poor written, poorly produced…and yes, i stopped watching, moved on to GH, and it is light years ahead of where Y&R is in both production, acting and writing. It was simple to stop watching garbage and start watching something where they really try to put out a good product!
That “#1 soap” comment is tiresome! According to the ratings system, more people watch YawneR than any other soap opera. That doesn’t mean it’s the best or even good for that matter. Y&R would suffer greatly without The Price is Right as its lead-in. So, y’all need to shut up with those “#1” comments, that show stinks!
I think Y&R continues to be #1 because after the Price is Right people who were watching that fall asleep with the tv on. Y&R could put anyone to sleep. It is painfully boring. I try to come back to it & watch for a while then I think why am I wasting my time when I could be watching paint dry! I think GH is the best.
I degree.
I believe the point of the boards to share thoughts. So telling people you don’t agree with to shut up is the antithesis of why we’re all here. If you can’t handle conversation, maybe it’s you who should “shut up”? But by no means do I think you should. Instead, you should share your thoughts instead of attacking those who share theirs. Middle America likes Y&R. Congrats. The #1 show has nothing to do with winning Emmys. Look at the Primetime Emmys. Tracker, NCIS, Marshalls, etc. are not even nominated. That being said, you’re a Y&R fan. By all means support them.
You’re kind of cranky for someone named Buddy.
You know what Buddy? You are entitled to your opinion, but don’t knock others who have a different view. Y&R has some major issues right now and that’s why there’s only one executive producer and they are searching for a new head writer.
These nominations are stunning, and not in a good way. There are a lot of names I expected to see that didn’t make the list.
Unless she chose not to submit herself, I’m floored that Erika Slezak didn’t get nominated for Guest Performer. Floored. The master class scenes with her and Jane Elliot were second to none of anything I remember seeing in 2025. I figured for sure Erika had bagged her 7th Emmy, and for her to not even get a nomination is absolutely mind blowing.
Speaking of Jane, I’m disappointed that she once again apparently chose not to submit herself. She was as deserving and more so than even Erika, but it’s her personal choice not to participate, so I have to respect that. Would just love to see her get the recognition she deserves one of these years, one last time before she calls it a career.
I’m floored that GH didn’t get one Supporting Actor nomination, and Y&R got three. With names like Dominic Zamprogna, Cameron Mathison, Rick Hearst, Carlo Rota, James Patrick Stuart, among others, any one of them would have been deserving and I’m shocked that not one made the list.
Very happy for Amanda Setton, Giovanni Mazza and Braedyn Bruner for their first nominations, and all well deserved.
It’s pretty obvious that BTG is gonna be the big winner this year, and I have no issue with that whatsoever. As a GH fan, they’ve won for Best Dram Series 5 years in a row, so I have no room to complain, and I wish BTG well. The more soaps that do well, the better it is for the industry as a whole.
Good analysis!
In total agreement on Slezak.
Jane was inducted into the Emmy Golden Circle last year, and came to the show for the first time in a decade. She likely considers that the moment she received her flowers.
Dom & Cam would have submitted in Lead. Cam carried story all year and did done if his best work ever. JPS was off screen for most of 2025. Now, next year, he should be in the thick of things.
Some of the years GH has one it wasn’t as stellar as it was in 2025. The Gio reveal, Drew’s shooting, Monica’s passing, and Laura being blackmailed by Sidwell kept the octane high all year.
Yeah, the Golden Circle moment was a wonderful honor last year. It was cool to see Jane on stage again, even for a brief moment.
Would love to see her have her own moment, be able to give a speech, the whole nine yards, But it’s obviously something that doesn’t interest her. She’d rather let her work on screen do the talking, and if that’s good enough for her, it’s good enough for me! Everyone in the industry and fans know how good Jane is, whether she gets a golden statue for it or not.
I forgot about Genie with the Sidwell blackmail, the scenes when she found Dalton’s dead body in the trunk. They never give her much anymore, but she was excellent in those scenes and the episodes that followed. She definitely could have gotten a nomination out of that. But again, like with Jane, Erika etc, we have no way of knowing if Genie submitted herself or not.
Also realized I forgot to mention, I’ve mentioned this before, and I will again, how much I hate that they took away the Younger Actor/Actress categories away for someone like Finn Carr, another name conspicuous by its absence from the list of nominees.
Finn is good in everything he does, anyone that watches GH knows this. He did great work in 2025, he’s doing even better work this year. He’s not eligible for the Emerging Talent category, because he’s not under contract, and he’s been on the show for longer than 2 years. The Younger Actor category would have been perfect for someone like him, and the fact that he has to submit himself in the Supporting Actor category instead, with grown men that have been on soaps for 30+ years in some cases, is insane and an absolute joke. Finn deserves to be recognized for his work!
Both Genie and Kin are eligible for Golden Circle in 2027. Be interesting to see if they induct both in the same year.
Yes, Beyond the Gates is my second choice, and with GH not nominated for Lead Actress I am rooting for Tamara Tunie. I am also rooting for Mike Manning, Ambyr Michelle, and a tie between Trisha Mann-Grant and Amanda Setton. I am baffled by the lack of a Directing Team nomination for BTG. So while I want GH to win for Series and Writing I wouldn’t mind BTG winning.
Agree with a lot of what you wrote.
Days of our Lives should sweep the Emmy Awards like they did in 2018.
let’s tell the truth: CBS bloc-voted it’s way to all these nominations. 17 out of 21 in the four major acting categories went to CBS performers and a meager two to GH and Days each. GH had a phenomenal year and deserved a ton of nominations. It’s ridiculous that Steve Burton and Amanda Setton are the only acting nominees within those four categories.
It’s much harder now to know since we aren’t “allowed” to know who submitted and in which category but where are Katelyn MacMullen, Cynthia Watros, Rick Hearst, Michael E Knight, Van Hansis, Kelly Thiebaud, Brook Kerr, Jane Elliot (ok, she doesn’t submit), Finn Carr, Donnell Turner, Dominic Zamprogna, Rena Sofer, Erika Selzak (did she not submit?), Eden McCoy, Laura Wright, Maura West, etc.??? It’s ridiculous!
I am happy for Beyond the Gates. Don’t get me wrong most of the nominees are talented (albeit not all!) but there were much better potential nominees, especially from GH. Sigh. It’s very disappointing.
Give it a rest with the CBS bloc-voting mess. If it’s NOT GH, you’ll fuss and complain.
I’m glad someone finally said it he’s been saying that everywhere if it’s not GH he has a fit if GH had 10 acting nods he’d be over the moon
Congratulations to all the nominees, but I’m really perplexed by some omissions. Hope GH cleans up at the awards
The Daytime Emmy works on such an odd awards system, that is for sure. Some very deserving actors miss nominations simply because they do not submit themselves. That is sad, particularly with a small pool of potential nominees to consider. I wish there was a body who oversaw the nominations process regardless of actor preference and beyond one reel, but that would be difficult if not impossible. I can guess some of the actor surprises are there because of the good work they did even if it was not front and center or in less-than storylines. I hope the time gap between nomination period and awards presentation can be tightened.
How could Eva LaRue, doing her best but fumbling through an ill-conceived, poorly written, directionless character get a nomination? Did the voters feel sorry for her because she was stuck with useless Natalia?
I don’t know. I also didn’t know she was a guest performer. Natalia was a terrible character, and I’m afraid Eva LaRue doesn’t have the acting chops to rise above bad writing. She was awkward and laughed weirdly through scenes that did not require her character to laugh.
It’s Eva for the win! Eva LaRue slayed the role of Natalia.
I cant believe GH didn’t get any acting nominations is the lead female category, GH has an emberrasment of female talent yet somehow especially in this category GH has only won 4 times in Emmy 53 year history. only 4 you all, I find that shocking (Finola Hughes, Laura Wright, Maura West, and last year winner Nancy Grahn.). They’ve done well in the Lead Actor and supporting Actor and Female Supporting Actiress yet the lead category only the Fab four above have brought home the win for GH.
The viewers and all the hard working nominees are being totally snubbed. We loyal viewers would love to see our favs honored yet not afforded the same respect of the same television viewing we see these programs on daily. I guess the endless hours of commercials’ buying generated by out loyal viewership doesn’t mean as much as the many other award shows that fans get to enjoy the fruits of the honorees’ labors. Artists & fans are totally disrespected that not one of the same broadcast networks that bring us these programs daily can not broadcast these awards once a year!
What about Josh Morrow? His addiction role has been perfect!
Again, this is for work in 2025, not 2026. Plus, Joshua Morrow has gone on record that following his failure to be recognised for his work during the Cassie storyline in 2005, he is no longer interested in pursuing the Daytime Emmys.
Josh will get nominated next year. The work is from last year.
The time has come for the bold and the beautiful to realize that they’re writing is old and that their storylines aren’t being followed. Get younger writers! Introduce new and exciting characters and you need an anti-hero this writing for bold and beautiful is repetitive boring and the nomination to show that.

I don’t know what EB submitted for best actor but if it is even halfway decent I think he will take it he has been in the industry forever he is 85 I just think the sentimental part will play also . It beats the same old same old duplicate winners.
The Young and the Restless and upstart Beyond the Gates getting 18 and 15 nominations is overkill at best. Too many oversights but expect B&B and GH to win anyway. CBS missed a chance to broadcast an Emmy telecast that is certainly geared for its shows!

For the first time ever, the Forresters must navigate mounting financial concerns while the younger generation – Electra (Laneya Grace) and R.J. (Brayan Nicoletti) – rally to help save the family legacy.

Meanwhile, Nicole (Daphnee Duplaix) is ready for more with Kial (Greg Vaughan). Madison (Kenjah) is a rock to Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) when she and Kat (Colby Muhammad) can’t escape scandal and Vanessa (Lauren Buglioli) and Joey’s (Jon Lindstrom) love life fuels the fire with her daughter Deanna (Angela Fairley).
