The 42nd annual Daytime Emmy nominees were announced this morning with ABC’s “General Hospital” leading the pack at 28 nominations, including nods for lead actors Laura Wright, Maura West, Jason Thompson, and Anthony Geary, and supporters Finola Hughes, Lisa Locicero, and Chad Duell. Also sitting pretty with a slew of recognition is 25-time nominated “The Young and the Restless,” which turned 42 last week (its first episode aired March 26, 1973), “Days of Our Lives” with 16 nods, and “The Bold and the Beautiful” with 19.
CBS leads the networks with 62; PBS and syndicated programming tie for 50, with ABC coming in third with a total of 35 nods.
Hulu popped up with a surprise nomination for its series “East Los High,” about Latinos facing social and socio-economic hardship, recognized in the Outstanding New Approach to Drama category. Other Web-based nominees include “Anacostia,” the YouTube series about Washington D.C. suburbs featuring “As The World Turns” Emmy winner Martha Byrne, and Web series “Beacon Hill.”
The Daytime Emmys will air Sunday, April 26 at 8 p.m. ET on Pop. A host is yet to be announced.
