Browsing: The 42nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards

Earlier today a tweet went out over claims that the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and Pop, which will broadcast the 42nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards next month, were looking to have soap fans on hand to sit in bleachers that would be made available to the public on the red carpet. There were alleged claims, however, that the two parties was only seeking to include fans under the age of 45 to sit in said bleacher seats. NATAS and Pop have now issued statements that put clarification on the situation.

It’s official: “The 42nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” will be broadcast live on Pop on Sunday, April 26 from 8:00 PM, ET/5:00 PM, PT from the historic Warner Bros. Studios lot on Stage 16, it was announced today by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS). The awards show, which will share space previously utilized by such iconic films as “Casablanca,” “Jurassic Park” and “Ghostbusters,” will be executive produced by Michael Levitt and his Michael Levitt Productions banner. Credited for creating the “TV Land Awards,” Levitt has previously produced “The Billboard Music Awards,” “The Producers Guild Awards” and the “Young Hollywood Awards,” along with several other award shows, music specials, reality shows, live events, non-fiction informational series and reunion specials.

Good news, soap fans: The date for the 2015 Daytime Emmy Awards has been set, and it’s closer than you might think!
