The Daytime Emmy Awards may have already aired on CBS and announced the winners in the major categories, but there are still more trophies to be handed out and the National Academy of Television Arts and Science today announced the nominees in the Childrens & Animation and Lifestyle categories. And these include the rest of the streaming soap nominees, mainly the acting nods!

Due to changes to the rules and eligibility requirements, some of the creative arts categories now include streaming series alongside the four network soaps THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, DAYS OF OUR LIVES, GENERAL HOSPITAL, and THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS. So while some of the shows may not be familiar to all the soap fans, some of the actors and actresses on them will be!

These soap-related categories are scheduled to be awarded at the Daytime Emmy Awards Lifestyle Programming ceremony on the Emmy streaming platform on Sunday, July 18, at 8 p.m. ET, so you can tune in and watch!
