This year, the awards will be minus a category. In 1985, NATAS created two categories for male and female younger performers. In 2019, the categories combined so that male and female performers competed against one another.
However, in January, Outstanding Younger Performer in a Drama Series was eliminated altogether, making General Hospital's Eden McCoy (Josslyn Jacks) the last actress to win a Daytime Emmy specifically for young stars.
The 51st Annual Daytime Emmys will be held June 7, 2024, at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles, CA. That's not even six months after the last Daytime Emmy Awards took place. However, the 50th annual ceremony was delayed last year due to the Writers Guild of America strike.
