TVLine

The Outstanding Younger Actor and Younger Actress in a Drama Series categories have been combined to form the Outstanding Younger Performer in a Drama Series category. The National Academy of TV Arts and Sciences also added a new rule that would have daytime shows with primetime offshoots compete at the Daytime Emmys. “A broadcast series considered eligible for daytime may submit any episode in to the Daytime Emmy Awards contest whether that episode premiered in primetime or daytime hours,” the new rule reads. “An episode or special from a series premiering in primetime hours must enter the Daytime Emmys.”
