On Sunday, June 22, 2014, you will have the opportunity to see who won one or more Daytime Emmys. Though there are 37 networks competing for a Daytime Emmy, many shows have secured multiple nominations. Keep in mind, there are many different awards categories. It is plausible for a show to go home with several awards.
Television has so many shows and time slots, that it is not fair to put them in the same awards show. Day and night have different audiences. Generally, consistent day times viewers are children as well as adults that work from home, care for the family, and maybe unemployed. This is why most of the top 10 consist of children programs, drama, and talk shows. Without these shows, most networks would play reruns of prime time television. There are only so many times that you can watch the same episode over and over again.
Without further ado, let’s see what shows made it on today’s top 10.

10. Disney Sofia the First
Sofia the First was able to secure 6 nominations. Good job, Disney Junior! Though it is a young show, it made it to 10th place.

9. One Life To Live
Coming in 9th place, One Life To Live only beat Sofia th First by one nomination. Though it barely beat out a children’s program, it has been going strong since 1968. Not many shows can say that. In fact, there are many successful shows that call it quits before they reach their 10th season. Congrats, One Life To Live.

8. The Mind of a Chef
There are many cooking shows that air on The Food Network. The Mind of a Chef is not one of them. This is a young show. It’s first episode aired in 2012. Securing 8th place is impressive. Plus, it is coming back to PBS on Saturday, May 10, 2014.

7. Peter Rabbit
Nick Junior was able to pass Disney Junior with Peter Rabbit. Nick Junior has a slight advantage. Peter Rabbit is a classic children’s cautionary tale that was brought to life for today’s viewers. Often, parents will share stories, toys, and activities that are similar to their childhood with their children.

6. The Ellen DeGeneres Show
Everybody loves Ellen! At this point, Ellen is a Hollywood veteran. Her comedic roots, friendly demeanor, and creative segments have secured a loyal fan base. Plus, the Oscar selfie did not hurt her rank either.

5. Days of Our Lives
Days of Our Lives took 5th place by receiving 14 Nominations. At this point in the game, the Days of Our Lives cast know they are going home with something. Since they have been going strong since 1965, their place in the top 10 is valid.
As we continue through this list, you’ll notice the dramas are securing the top seats. Keep in mind, the list is not up, you will be shocked to see the next one!

Before we had Grey’s Anatomy, General Hospital was earning Daytime Emmy’s. This show has been on for over 50 years. In 2013, it took home 3 Daytime Emmy Awards. Will they do better this year? It was nominated for 16 awards. We will have to wait and see.

2. The Bold and the Beautiful
The Bold and the Beautiful is not as seasoned as the other dramas. However, it earned 18 nominations this year. Most of the top 5 shows have been around since the 60s. Not The Bold and the Beautiful. It came to daytime television in the late 80s.

1. The Young and the Restless
Taking home 1st place with 26 nominations is The Young and the Restless. This show is older than The Bold and the Beautiful, but it is younger than the other dramas on this top 10. This 70s baby has the most nominations, but will it take home all 26 awards? Only time will tell. Don’t forget, The Daytime Emmy Awards airs Sunday, June 22, 2014.
