Soap Hub’s 2019 Daytime Emmy Award Picks

While NATAS, the academy that runs the Daytime Emmy Awards, did not release performer reels to the public this year so fans could see what their favorites submitted to the panel for judging, it did allow the press to view the reels.

Soap Hub has seen all the reels in the major categories, and although we cannot show them to you, we can tell you our predictions based on what the judges saw.

Below you will find a list of all the nominees and Soap Hub editor predictions in bold. Just like the judging panel, we tabulated the picks from our team to tell you who we think will take home the gold on Sunday night. These are not our picks for who we want to see win as fans, but who we believe will win based on the reels submitted.
