After 54 groundbreaking years; 13,858 episodes, and great EMMY recognition, the canceled soap took home top honors for 'drama series'.
ATWT is no newcomer to the award frenzy! Still winning awards and no long airing on television, does the soap have a chance at securing 'EMMY' gold?!
As the World Turns premiered on April 2, 1956. It was the first television daytime drama with a 30-minute running time; all daytime dramas until then had had 15-minute running times. The series was also CBS' first to expand to a 60-minute running time, doing so in 1975. By 1958, the program was the number one daytime drama in the United States. As the World Turns , has won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series four times (in 1987, 1991, 2001, and 2003.)
