But it’s followed closely by other CBS hit soaps “Bold and the Beautiful” and “The Young and the Restless,” who round out the top three with 14 and 13 noms, respectfully.

The award ceremony will broadcast live from the Westin Bonaventure Los Angeles, on Friday, June 16, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+ at 9 p.m. ET and will re-air at 9 p.m. on the West Coast. The Daytime Creative Arts & Lifestyle Emmys will be presented the following day.

“Today we not only honor this year’s outstanding programs and individuals, we mark a milestone
in television history. Our golden anniversary celebrates the talented creators who have made the
