The 50th annual Daytime Emmy Awards will air live on CBS at 9 p.m. ET on December 15, a full six months after its originally scheduled date. The awards ceremony was rescheduled from June 16 due to the recent Hollywood labor disputes.

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS) will present Lifetime Achievement Awards to the legendary star of "All My Children" Susan Lucci and tabloid talk show host Maury Povich.

ABC's long-running soap opera "General Hospital" earned the most nominations this year with 14 in major categories and five creative arts nods. It will compete with "The Bay," "The Bold and the Beautiful," "Days of Our Lives," and "The Young and the Restless" for Outstanding Drama Series. "General Hospital" is the reigning champ of the last two years and has won the award 15 times, more than any other soap opera; second is "The Young and the Restless" with 11 wins.

"General Hospital" also earned 11 nominations in acting categories, including four of the five slots in the category Outstanding Performance by a Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. "The Young and the Restless" earned the most nominations in lead acting categories with five.

Women rule the Outstanding Daytime Talk Series race, with Ryan Seacrest the only male nominee in the category. "Live with Kelly and Ryan" will compete with "Today with Hoda & Jenna," "The Drew Barrymore Show," "The Jennifer Hudson Show," and "The Kelly Clarkson Show." From 2008 to 2022 this award was split into two categories: Talk Show—Informative and Talk Show—Entertainment. Clarkson's program has won the Entertainment category two years in a row.

Seacrest is also the only male nominee in the Outstanding Daytime Talk Series Host category, sharing his nomination with co-host Kelly Ripa. They will compete against Drew Barrymore, Kelly Clarkson, Tamron Hall, and Sherri Shepherd. This category was also previously split into Informative and Entertainment categories, with Clarkson dominating the latter and looking to win for a fourth year in a row. She faces stiff competition from Hall, who has won the Informative category two of the last three years.

The Daytime Emmys will also honor an Outstanding Culinary Show Host, Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program, and Outstanding Entertainment News Series. A complete list of nominees can be found here.

Congratulations and best of luck to all nominees! We are so excited that the awards season has finally started.
