Days of Our Lives‘ Daytime Emmy nomination haul simply went down by one.
Victoria Grace, who performs Wendy Shin on the Peacock cleaning soap, is withdrawing her nomination for Outstanding Younger Performer in a Daytime Drama Series after an apparently inadvertent guidelines violation. Grace ought to by no means have been submitted for the award as a result of nominees should now be 18 years previous or youthful, and Shin turned 21 earlier than the eligibility interval for this 12 months’s awards even started. (It’s an comprehensible mistake: The Younger Performer award was historically open to actors 25 years previous or youthful, however two years in the past, the Daytime Emmys modified the foundations to make it age 21 or youthful, and this 12 months to 18 or youthful.)
Grace introduced the information herself by way of Instagram: “I was honored to be nominated for a Daytime Emmy and to be recognized by the Academy. Unfortunately, there was a huge misunderstanding across the board regarding the rules for this year’s category. This is obviously a surprise and I am heartbroken, but in fairness to all, I‘ll be rescinding my nomination. I wish the best of luck to all the nominees. I will continue to work hard to earn another Daytime Emmy nomination next year!”
The change leaves simply three nominees within the Younger Performer class: Days‘ Cary Christopher, General Hospital‘s Eden McCoy and The Bold and the Beautiful‘s Henry Joseph Samiri. Days‘ total nominations this year have been reduced from 11 to 10. The 2023 Daytime Emmys will be handed out on Friday, June 16 at 9/8c on CBS; click here for a full rundown of this year’s nominees.
