–The winners of the 2017 Daytime Emmy Awards will be announced on Sunday, April 30.

–The Emmys have released a list of ‘pre nominees’ in the drama series category.

The Daytime Emmy Awards occupy a strange place in the pantheon of US entertainment awards shows. They’re clearly subordinate to the Primetime Emmy Awards which not only has their own ceremony but holds it several months after their daytime counterparts. The 2017 Primetime Emmy Awards will be held on September 17, 2017 and hosted by Steven Colbert. The Primetime Emmy Awards will be broadcast by CBS while it’s not yet been determined if the Daytime Emmy Awards will air live at all.

Soap operas are the big draw on the Daytime Emmy Awards–aficionados call them ‘Daytime Dramas’ while the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences refers to them simply as a ‘Drama Series’. That’s also what they call nighttime drama series on the separate Primetime Emmy Awards show but no one seems to get confused. The other shows that are honored on the Daytime Emmy Awards are talk shows, game shows, morning shows and kids shows. There are award categories for Spanish language programming in most categories as well. The actors and actresses on these shows get recognized on the Daytime Emmy Awards while the technical staff gets kicked down the awards pantheon even further into a separate ceremony called the ‘Daytime Creative Arts Emmy Awards’ which is held a couple of days earlier.

Since the soap operas aka daytime dramas are the focal point of the Daytime Emmy Awards ‘the Academy’ releases an early list of ‘pre-nominees’ which will eventually get cut down to five nominees in the acting categories. The final nominations will be announced on the CBS TV show ‘The Talk’ on March 22, 2017. Presumably, the rest of the nominees in the other categories will also be revealed at that time.
