Daytime fans will have to wait a little longer to find out if their favorite soaps have earned accolades as the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announces that the 50th Daytime Emmy Awards have been postponed until after the writer’s strike. That means Young and the Restless, which is also celebrating its 50th anniversary, and other daytime dramas will be forced to wait to find out who will take home trophies.
“The 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards planned for Friday, June 16 on CBS is postponed due to the WGA strike. In addition, our Creative Arts & Lifestyle ceremony, planned for Saturday, June 17, has been postponed pending a strike resolution. We look forward to our community gathering together as one to celebrate our Golden Anniversary and all of the talented nominees and honorees at a later date,” the NATAS said in a statement.
