On Thursday, the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the Drama Performer Pre-Nominations for the 45th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards. “Days of Our Lives” leads the six pre-nominations categories with 20 nods, followed by “General Hospital” with 17.
Nominees are chosen by an online judging ballot, with judges required to view clips of each performer before making their selections. They select their top 10 performer choices in each category, and this year, there are 11 lead actress in the running because of a tie.
Following the pre-nominations, those recognized will now advance to a blue ribbon screening round to determine the Daytime Emmy nominees and recipients. Nominations will be announced on Wednesday, March 21, 2017, live on “The Talk” on CBS.
