The nominations are in for the 2017 Daytime Emmy Awards, and DreamWorks Animation has emerged as the top toon producer with 21 nods. This includes seven for Guillermo del Toro’s Trollhunters (the most of any animated program), on top of the two Individual Achievement awards already announced.
Amazon’s The Snowy Day and Lost in Oz both garnered five nominations, while the four-nod club includes DWA’s All Hail King Julien, Disney’s LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures and Amazon’s Tumble Leaf.
Overall, this year’s most-named nominees were the usual suspects. For individual series, the most nods went to The Young and the Restless (25), The Bold and the Beautiful and General Hospital (23 each) and Days of Our Lives (22). Of the networks CBS received 70 nominations, but animation destinations Amazon (50), PBS (40), Netflix (36) and Nickelodeon (18) also had strong showings.
The 44th Daytime Emmy Awards will be presented by the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences on Sunday, April 30 at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium. They will be preceded by the Creative Arts Awards on Friday.
A select list of Daytime Emmy nominees follows. For a full list, see the Awards website.
