‘The Bold and the Beautiful,’ ‘The Young and the Restless,’ ‘African Queens: Njinga’ Lead Daytime Emmy Nominations

The daytime dramas “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless,” and the docudrama “African Queens: Njinga” led all shows in nominations for the 51st annual Daytime Emmy Awards, which were announced on Friday.

CBS’s two long-running dramas, “The Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless,” each received 12 nominations, while Peacock’s “Days of Our Lives” and ABC’s “General Hospital” received 11. Netlix’s “African Queens: Njinga,” a series executive produced by Jada Pinkett Smith which combines re-enactments with interviews to tell the story of a 17th century queen in what is now Angola, also received 12 noms and was the only other program to crack double digits.

Acting nominees included Dick Van Dyke for “Days of Our Lives” and Guy Pearce for “Neighbours.”

Netflix led all platforms/networks with 27 nominations, while CBS received 26 and ABC 22.  Syndicated programs had the largest number of noms, 32.

Winners will be announced during the Daytime Emmy Awards on June 7 and the Creative Arts & Lifestyle Emmy Awards on June 8,  both at the Westin Bonaventure in Los Angeles.
