2020 Daytime Emmy Awards: Complete list of nominations

The Daytime Emmy Awards are skipping a theatre ceremony because of the coronavirus but the honours will be presented on a TV broadcast.

CBS’s decision to air the awards on June 26 is a bright spot for the daytime honours, which had been consigned to an online presentation in recent years as viewer interest dwindled.

The New York-based National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, which organizes the daytime awards, had previously announced it wouldn’t hold the traditional theatre ceremony out of pandemic safety concerns.

“The Daytime Emmys are coming home,” president and CEO of NATAS Adam Sharp said in a press release. “For generations, daytime television has been a source of comfort and continuity that’s never been more important. We’re delighted to join with CBS in celebrating the programs and professionals who never cease to brighten our days.”

The first season of The Kelly Clarkson Show received Daytime Emmy Awards nominations for best entertainment talk show and host, while Jeopardy! veteran Alex Trebek’s nod for best game show host could give him a second consecutive win in the category.
