Daytime Emmys 2021— Everything We Know so Far
Soap fans are gearing up for daytime’s biggest night of the year as the 48th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards approach. And as the event nears, we’ve got answers to all your burning questions about this year’s ceremony!
When are the 2021 Daytime Emmys?
This year, the Daytime Emmys will be held on Friday, June 25. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the ceremony will once again be held virtually, so there will be no in-person audience or red carpet fashions. There has been no announcement yet as to when the Creative Arts Daytime Emmy Awards will be held in 2021.
Where are the 2021 Daytime Emmys being held?
Like the 2020 ceremony, the 2021 Daytime Emmys will be held virtually with the winners accepting their trophies from their homes. The last in-person show was held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in 2019, and the hope is that the 2022 Daytime Emmys will return to that venue and the show can return to the way it used to be.
How can I watch the 2021 Daytime Emmys?
Fans were thrilled when the Daytime Emmys returned to television last year, with CBS airing the show, and the network has penned a new deal that will see them broadcasting both the 2021 and 2022 Daytime Emmys! The last time the awards aired on television was when cable network Pop TV broadcast them in 2015. Since then, the ceremony has been streamed online, and NATAS even developed its own streaming service to host the Daytime Emmys and other awards shows.
Who is nominated for a Daytime Emmy This Year?
The nominations for this year’s Daytime Emmy Awards have not yet been announced. Submissions began back in January 2021, and preliminary judging ran from March 24 until April 11 with the Blue Ribbon judging happening between April 26 and May 16. The list of nominees is slated to be announced in June, but given that the ceremony is at the end of June, they could be revealed in late May. So keep checking back at SoapsInDepth.com because we’ll post the nominees just as soon as they’re announced!
Who is receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award?
At this time, NATAS has not yet announced the recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Who is hosting the 2021 Daytime Emmys?
NATAS has not yet revealed who will be hosting this year’s virtual ceremony. The 2018 and 2019 Daytime Emmys were co-hosted by Mario Lopez and Sheryl Underwood, but the 2020 virtual show was hosted by Underwood and her co-hosts from THE TALK.
