The 2013 Daytime Emmy race has officially begun. Though no official lists of nominees have been released, Soap Central has learned which daytime actors and actresses have submitted their names for Emmy consideration. A first round of voting is underway to help determine this year's pre-nominations from which this year's winners will eventually be chosen.
Those performers wanting to be considered for a Daytime Emmy this year were asked to submit a single scene representing their best work from the 2012 calendar year. The submitted clips could be no longer than three minutes in length.
The list of this year's so-called pre-pre-nominees was first reported by Soap Opera Uncensored, which also offers a synopsis of the scenes each nominee submitted.
This year's pre-nominations will be announced on February 27. Pre-nominees will then be asked to submit a longer reel of their work from 2012, and a blue ribbon panel will judge those submissions. The nominations for the 40th annual Daytime Emmy nominations will be announced May 1.
Five daytime drama series are eligible for Emmy consideration this year: The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital, The Young and the Restless, and, though it aired just nine episodes in the 2012 calendar year, One Life to Live.
No date, location, or broadcast plans for this year's Daytime Emmy ceremony have yet been announced.
