The first daytime-themed Emmy Awards were given out at the primetime ceremony in 1972, when The Doctors and General Hospital were nominated for Outstanding Achievement in a Daytime Drama. That year, The Doctors won the first Best Show Daytime Emmy. In addition, the award for Outstanding Achievement by an Individual in a Daytime Drama was given to Mary Fickett from All My Children. A previous category "Outstanding Achievement in Daytime Programming" was added once in 1968 with individuals like Days of Our Lives star MacDonald Carey nominated.

Due to voting rules of the time judges could opt to either award one or no Emmy, and in the end they decided that no one nominated was deserving of the golden statuette. This snub outraged then Another World writer Agnes Nixon, causing her to write in The New York Times, "...after viewing the recent fiasco of the Emmy awards, it may well be considered a mark of distinction to have been ignored by this group.
Due to the relatively small talent pool in Daytime television (particularly television soap operas) it has become quite common for the same people to be nominated year after year. The most infamous of these is All My Children star Susan Lucci, whose name became synonymous with being nominated for an award and never winning after having been nominated 19 times with no wins. Lucci finally won the award for Best Actress in 1999.
