Today, the National Academy of Television and Arts & Sciences announced this year’s nominees for the 52nd Daytime Emmys which will take place on Oct 17th on CBS and will be streamed on Paramount+. We all know that there have been a number of shows we have enjoyed and we’ll see what ends up walking away with a statue. As we do throughout Awards Season, we share our predictions in bold, the ones we correctly identified as winners are in bold italics and winners that we didn’t predict are in italics. On the night of the event, we will share who we predicted correctly as well as those we didn’t that won.
