The Daytime Emmys are here. The 51st annual awards show is due to kick off after a couple of setbacks in prior years – first COVID, then the double strikes. But they’re back in full force to honor the best in daytime television, with a star-studded lineup of presenters on tap.
Here’s where and how to watch the Daytime Emmys live.

Netflix’s “African Queens: Njinga,” a series executive produced by Jada Pinkett Smith which combines re-enactments with interviews to tell the story of a 17th century queen in what is now Angola, also received 12 noms and was the only other program to crack double digits.
