After receiving a letter from the four daytime soaps addressing their concerns about the Daytime Emmy process and its future, Terry O’Reilly, Chairman, National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, responded in a statement: “Today I received correspondence raising concerns about some elements of the 2018 Daytime EMMY Awards and concerns over its administration. We have great confidence in the integrity of our EMMY awards system, and believe it effectively honors the best work being done in Daytime Television today. That having been said, we always take concerns about our systems seriously … and out of an abundance of caution I have instructed that outside counsel be retained to evaluate these concerns and conduct an independent look at them.”
