NEW YORK (May 20, 2020) — The 47th Annual Daytime Emmy® Awards will be presented in a two-hour special on Friday, June 26 (8:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, CBS and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) today announced. This will mark the 14th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmys®, more than any other network.

“The Daytime Emmys are coming home,” said Adam Sharp, President & CEO of NATAS. “For generations, daytime television has been a source of comfort and continuity that’s never been more important. We’re delighted to join with CBS in celebrating the programs and professionals who never cease to brighten our days.”

“As a leader in Daytime, we are thrilled to welcome back the Daytime Emmy Awards,” said Jack Sussman, Executive Vice President, Specials, Music and Live Events for CBS. “Daytime television has been keeping viewers engaged and entertained for many years, so it is with great pride that we look forward to celebrating the best of the genre here on CBS.”

The Daytime Emmy® Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in daytime television programming since 1974. The awards are presented to individuals and programs broadcast between 2:00 am and 6:00 pm, as well as certain categories of digital and syndicated programming of similar content.

This year’s awards honor content from more than 2,700 submissions that originally premiered in calendar-year 2019, judged by a pool of 1,000 peer professionals from across the television industry. Nominees in the competition’s 100 categories will be announced tomorrow, May 21, on the CBS Daytime program “The Talk” and ETOnline.com, followed by wide release to other interested outlets.

The June 26 telecast will be produced by the National Academy and Associated Television International (ATI), which previously produced the Daytime Emmy® Awards on The CW in 2009 and CBS’ most recent broadcasts in 2010 and 2011.

“In these challenging times, daytime has been a primary influence in staying connected with its audience, entertaining them, and keeping them informed,” said 47th Annual Daytime Emmys® executive producer and director David McKenzie of Associated Television International. “We are honored to be a part of it. We are also excited for the challenge of introducing a new format that will celebrate the contributions of daytime television.”

Awards will be presented in leading categories during the telecast, with recipients and other special guests appearing from home in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additional categories will be announced simultaneously on Twitter (@DaytimeEmmys), and others will be presented in a separate ceremony in July

Okay, I was like what is this and why are they doing this together. 

I was coming to post about this because I just saw it. That was quite random.

Well the positive to pretaping is the video quality is good, but it's really boring and why are the speeches so short when they don't have to spend airtime on them walking on stage?

 

Zero energy show and it is inexplicable to me they didn't do montages for the best drama series nominees which would have at least served as promotion for the show. It was quite obvious that the Talk ladies were all reacting to absolutely nothing. Only Marie and Sharon were half believable. Sheryl Underwood made me laugh at her "excitement" for whoever won the previous category. 

 

That said, live Zooms would have been a nightmare to coordinate for each category and it would have been a very hard show to produce so I can't fault them for pre-taping.

Mo and JMW aren’t social distancing!

 

WTF was that? Talk about setting a bad example. There is ZERO reason those two should have been within each other's presence as American Covid-19 numbers shoot through the roof.

Eva LaRue won the Guest Star Emmy. 

 

 

After the year she's had, it was hers to lose.

I loved his insight that "we called the story the baby Beth story because it was about a baby named Beth and baby Beth is alive." So brilliant!

 

I laughed. Brad was clearly filming that in his beautiful home with the silver etched wallpaper. 

Anthony Morina is as lifeless as the show he runs, I see...

 

 

There was no way to bring more energy to the show than they did. It was fine.

 

Doing it live on Zoom would have been a damn mess.

Yes! I really miss those. 

I didn't watch, so I have been looking through last night's thread.

Question: Was there a Lifetime Achievement Daytime Emmy award last night?

Geez.  Glad that I didn't bother to watch but I was always skeptical that CBS would treat the Daytime Emmys as anything other than filler.

Everything was pretaped. Eve is in England and you could tell it was daylight. The acceptance speeches could've been done early that morning. The acceptance speeches were all of 30 seconds. It was a hot mess.

Pathetic....that amounts to a 2.4 HH number and 130,000 viewers in demos. The 0.2 in demos is embarrassing.

That’s not bad for a last minute show in a virtual format. Numbers are already down so what did you expect?

I think that's not too shabby for a Friday night and a format that cost them basically nothing to produce

Why wasn't Informative Talk Show Host announced?

Agreed. CBS is probably delighted with those numbers. The show cost them nothing to produce and was "original programming" as Covid-19 numbers explode across America.
