The 48th Daytime Emmy Awards, presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), honored the best in U.S. daytime television programming in 2020. It took place on June 25, 2021, as a remotely-produced special due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2][3]

Ceremony information[]

In April 2021, CBS signed a two-year deal to televise the Daytime Emmys, also allowing the ceremonies to be streamed on Paramount+ both in 2021 and 2022.[3][5]

The standard nominations were announced on May 25, 2021.[6][7][8] Winners in each category are listed first, in boldface.[9]
