The 52nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards have revealed the list of nominations for 2025. The award ceremony will honor the best of daytime television. It will take place on October 17 in Pasadena. Some of the major categories, which are also the main ones fans will look forward to, were already announced on Wednesday evening on Entertainment Tonight, Extra, and Access Hollywood.

As expected, all the major nominations belong to the three big soap operas that are currently airing. CBS’ latest show, Beyond the Gates, despite its acclaim, is not eligible for this year’s awards. This is because it premiered in February 2025. The eligibility window for the awards is from January 1 to December 31, 2024. Beyond the Gates is expected to make a splash at the next Daytime Emmy Awards, but this year, the show has to sit it out.
More details, including the complete list of nominations for the upcoming Daytime Emmy Awards, will arrive soon.
