The prestigious 52nd annual Emmy Awards are set to take place on October 17, 2025, in Pasadena. And the excitement for the event has already started to build up with the first wave of nominations being officially announced by the National Academy of Television Arts and Science (NATAS). While the complete list of nominees will be soon released, several key categories, including Talk shows, Drama series, and lead acting performances, have already been revealed by the organisation, which are hinting at a competitive award season.
Daytime Dramas: Only three dramas have made it to the nominations
In 2025, only three shows have made it to the list of the Outstanding Daytime Drama Series category. It includes ABC’s General Hospital, which won in 2024, Peacock’s Days of Our Lives and CBS’ The Young and the Restless. These shows have dominated the Daytime scene with their interesting storyline and loyal audiences. The smaller number of nominees is due to the rule of NATAS, which states that in any category with less than 10 submissions, not more than 50 percent of the entries would be selected.
