In case you were wondering how the networks and the shows stacked up when nominees for the 41st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were announced this morning, Soap Opera Network has you covered! As previously reported, CBS leads the pack with 61 nominations overall with “The Young and the Restless” in particular leading all shows with 26 nominations. But, how do the other networks and shows stack up?
Like it did last year, CBS swept “The 41st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards” nominations with 61 nominations in total, leading all networks.
