The47th Daytime Emmy Awards, presented by theNational Academy of Television Arts and Sciences (NATAS), honored the best inU.S.daytime television programming in 2019. The winners in leading categories were presented in a remotely-produced special aired byCBS on June 26, hosted by the panel of the network's daytime talk showThe Talk.
The NATAS originally planned to hold a ceremony over three nights for the first time on June 12–14, 2020,[2] at thePasadena Civic Auditorium inPasadena, California.[3] Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, the ceremony was cancelled. The nominations, originally scheduled to be announced on April 27, 2020,[4] were also delayed to May 21.[5]
The 47th Daytime Emmy Awards were originally scheduled for the first time to be presented over three nights, instead of the traditional main ceremony and the separateCreative Arts ceremony, to honor its ever expanding set of award categories.[3] On March 19, 2020, the NATAS postponed the ceremonies due to theCOVID-19 pandemic.[6][7] The NATAS then announced on April 28 that the awards would be presented at a date to be determined later, in a remotely-produced "virtual" format.[8]
On May 20, the NATAS announced that the winners in leading categories would be presented in a special airing June 26 onCBS. It marked the first time that the Daytime Emmys were broadcast on U.S. TV since2015 (after being relegated to awebcast), and the ceremony's return to both CBS and broadcast television for the first time since2011. The special was produced byAssociated Television International, which had produced previous Daytime Emmys ceremonies for CBS.[5] The nominees were announced the next day on CBS's daytime talk showThe Talk, whose panel would later be announced as hosts of the special.[5][9]
Some of the additional award categories were announced simultaneously on Twitter, while others are planned to be announced separately later in July 2020. The Spanish language winners have yet to be announced and no clear date has been set.[5]
As part of several initiatives regardinggender identity, the NATAS decided to replace both theyounger actor andyounger actress drama categories with a singlegender-neutral Outstanding Younger Performer in a Drama Series.[10]
