Category and rule changes[]

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced and implemented some category and rule changes for the 44th Daytime Emmy Awards:[9][10][11]

  • For the Blue Ribbon Final round of judging, the pre-nominees of the six Drama performer categories can create a reel of scenes/appearances that have aired during the 2016 calendar year, that is up to four episodes and reaches a length of 20 minutes long. This is a change from last year, where performers were only to submit a 20-minute reel containing just two episodes.
  • In the categories of (Outstanding Drama Series Directing Team and Outstanding Drama Series Writing Team, other than one sole episode, the series may now select 2 episodes from the 2016 Calendar year to submit for evaluation.
  • Talk Shows categories (Outstanding Talk Show/Entertainment and Outstanding Talk Show/Informative) can now submit any two episodes from the 2016 calendar year, rather than from one single episode as had been done for several previous years.

Winners and nominees[]

The nominees for the 44th Daytime Emmy Awards were announced on March 22, 2017, during an episode of CBS's daytime talk show The Talk.[12] The Young and the Restless led all nominees with 25 nominations; The Bold and the Beautiful came in second with 23.
