Daytime Emmy Pre-Nominations

The Daytime Emmys announced their pre-nominees last week. What this means is each show nominates two actors and actresses for each of the six acting categories, and then a panel watches the tapes submitted by each actor/actress and votes on who the nominees will be this year. The nominees will be announced on Mar. 14, and the Daytime Emmy Awards will be broadcast on CBS on June 15.

This system was designed so that shows with large casts couldn’t dominate the nomination field. Every show gets two submissions for each category, and from there the panel can decide to mix it up depending on who they think are the best. Last year people were upset because “Guiding Light,” which has one of the smallest casts, dominated the list of nominees, but that’s just the way it works out sometimes. This year another show could dominate. You just never know who is going to impress the judges.

Here is a list of the pre-screen nominees from each show, meaning only these actors are eligible to win an Emmy this year:
