Summary
Tamara Tunie and Karla Mosley became the first two Black actresses ever nominated together for Daytime Emmy lead actress in the awards’ 53-year history.
Those nominations came as CBS newcomer “Beyond The Gates” broke through with 15 nominations in its debut year, after becoming the first new daytime drama in 25 years and the first majority-Black-led soap in 35 years.
Black talent also featured across other 2026 categories, including Tracee Ellis Ross for travel programming and talk-host nominations for Whoopi Goldberg, Sunny Hostin, Tamron Hall, Jennifer Hudson and Sherri Shepherd.
“The Jennifer Hudson Show” earned 5 nominations and “The Tamron Hall Show” 4, with the 53rd Daytime Emmy Awards set for Oct. 30, 2026.
