General Hospital is in the running for the most awards as the hit ABC soap has 21 nods. The Young and the Restless (CBS) and Days of Our Lives (NBC) both have 11 nods each while The Bold and the Beautiful (CBS) landed just nine.
As many fans know, the nominees are selected by industry expert panels. The winners have already been selected but will remain a secret, as they often are the ones who collect the highest score during the nomination process. In addition to the soap nods, Jeopardy! Host Alex Trebek earned a posthumous nomination for Outstanding Game Show Host. The awards ceremony will also stream on Paramount Plus this year.

Some well deserved nominations for the most part except for jackie and jordan!!! I mean REALLY????
For the most part, on GH, the nominations are great. In my opinion, I am surprised that Kim D. (Jackie) and Briana H. (Jordan) are nominated. It would not have been my choice at all….but that’s just me. There are more deserving actors/actresses I feel. I will be rooting for the others.
The daytime Emmys made the biggest mistake by nominating katelyn macmullen she does not deserve to win
I am glad they finally nominated Max Gail (Mike). He seriously deserved the nomination. I hope he wins. I am not happy about the writing team getting a nomination for GH. I have not been happy with what they have done. I have been disappointed with most of the storylines. I am glad that the actors got so many nominations because most of them are very good at what they do.
