List of Daytime Emmys 2022 Winners

Annual 49 Daytime Emmys He returned to a live event in person on Friday night, and today’s news – the Roe v. Wade coup and the assault on women’s rights by a rogue Supreme Court – threatened to cover the event. But the two-hour television broadcast, which was hosted for the first time by “Entertainment Tonight” hosts Kevin Frazier and Nichelle Turner, began nonstop from the Pasadena Convention Center.

Overall this year, CBS’ “The Young and the Restless” received the most Daytime Emmy nominations, with 18 nominations, followed by ABC’s “General Hospital” with 17. Show distributors, followed by two associated broadcasters at the top: ABC and CBS, both with a score of 31. (Netflix came next, with 27.)

Among this year’s other major highlights: The daytime drama category — which has shrunk since broadcast networks scaled back their serial production — has expanded to five nominees for the first time since 2014, thanks to the addition of the “Days of Our Lives” spin-off.

Previously, the 49th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards for Creative Arts and Lifestyle took place on June 18 at the Pasadena Convention Center with five awards scooped Kelly Clarkson and Penguin Town receiving three. Other than participation (with 10), Netflix was the single network big winner, with nine total, spread among “Penguin Town,” “Cat People,” “Headspace: Guide to Meditation,” and “You vs. Wild: Out Cold.” CBS and PBS tied after that, with three each.

It should also be noted that during the Emmys Creative Arts Competition, the final season of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” was awarded a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing Team for a Daytime Non-Fiction Program. In its first season, Judge Judy Sheinlin’s new series “Judy Justice” won for IMDbTV (now Amazon Freevee) for its legal/courtroom show. (She also represented the first-ever Daytime Emmy for IMDbTV/Freevee.).

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 show was hypothetical and filmed at the homes of the host, presenters, and winners. Last year, a pre-registered and downsized event was held in Burbank.

Meanwhile, this delegate represents the first year under the agreement between the two major television academies that several categories have been rearranged to focus on genre, rather than day periods, as a way of dividing eligibility between Primetime (operated by the Los Angeles Television Academy) and Daytime Emmys ( It is handled by New York-based NATAS). It’s also the first year that the Kids and Family programming categories have been removed from both shows and moved to a new Children and Family Emmy Award competition and party, the first new Emmy show since 1979. (This event will take place in December).
