Beyond the Gates 52nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards
Beyond the Gates may not have qualified for the 52nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, but they were still part of the celebration — and the conversation.
Beyond the Gates Fans Are Already Predicting 2026 Emmys
With the qualification window being cut off on December 31, 2024, Beyond the Gates was not eligible for the 2025 Daytime Emmys as it didn’t premiere until February 2025 — but that isn’t stopping fans from already predicting their domination next year.
With the 2025 year nearing an end (and assuming the qualification window will be the fiscal year), viewers have had a substantial base from which to make predictions for the 53rd Annual Daytime Emmys. That said, it’s a hard pick.
There aren’t many (read: any) cast members who would be a subpar pick for any of the applicable categories. From Ambyr Michelle’s gut-wrenching sobs as Eva Thomas, to Lauren Buglioli’s shock and grief in her portrayal of Vanessa McBride’s reaction that her husband had died, to past roles like Jason Vendryes’ Kenny and Jason Graham’s Doug McBride.
Fans may loathe what Leslie Thomas does, but Trisha Mann-Grant does it so well that it is hard to imagine not hearing her name on the list of nominees next year, if not in the envelope. And speaking of Leslie, her many disguises in themselves will likely garner a nod for costuming (and hair and makeup), although there are plenty of other reasons either team would deserve a nomination.
From the meticulously crafted set design to lighting and direction, it’s easy to foresee nominations across the board. But it’s almost worth betting money that the writing team will be acknowledged, with a strong case for the win — and that’s before we get the full scope of the Randy-Hayley-Bill reveal (portrayed by Maurice P. Kerry, Marquita Goings, and Timon Kyle Durrett).
Presenting Beyond the Gates
While the show wasn’t eligible for nominations this year, there was still a presence from Fairmont Crest. Karla Mosley, who stars on Beyond the Gates as Dani Dupree, was one of the presenters at the 52nd Annual Daytime Emmy Awards on Friday, October 17th.
Appearing on stage with Chef Kardea Brown, Mosley presented the Outstanding Talk Series Daytime Emmy, won by Live with Kelly and Mark. Brown later won an Emmy herself when her show, Delicious Miss Brown, received a top nod for Outstanding Culinary Series.
