Just as it seemed that the 2019 awards season was winding down, all the nominees for the 2019 Daytime Emmy Awards were announced, and as per usual soap operas are dominating!
Out of the four major soap operas which includes Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, and The Bold and the Beautiful, it was Days of Our Lives that lead the pack with an incredible 27 nominations. DOOL was of course nominated for Outstanding Drama Series alongside the other three while Marci Miller (Abigail Deveraux) was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series, and both Tyler Christopher (Stefan) and Billy Flynn (Chad) were nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor.
General Hospital wasn’t far behind in nominations however, landing 25 which included both Maura West and Laura Wright nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress. Meanwhile Maurice Benard was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actor.
The Young and the Restless nabbed 20 nominations including Peter Bergman for Outstanding Lead Actor and Beth Maitland and Mishael Morgan were nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. Notably, no Y&R actress was nominated in the Outstanding Lead Actress category.
The Bold and the Beautiful rounded up 12 nominations of its own including both Heather Tom and Jacqueline MacInnes Woods up for Outstanding Lead Actress.
Some other notable nominations include Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek who was nominated for the 31st time and came after he recently revealed he is battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer.
