Victoria Grace is withdrawing her nomination.

Grace turned 21 before the eligibility period for this year’s awards even began.

The Younger Performer award was traditionally given to actors 25 years old or younger, but two years ago, they changed the rules to make it age 21 or younger. Then, they changed it this year to 18 or younger.

“I was honored to be nominated for a Daytime Emmy and to be recognized by the Academy. Unfortunately, there was a huge misunderstanding across the board regarding the rules for this year’s category. This is obviously a surprise and I am heartbroken, but in fairness to all, I‘ll be rescinding my nomination. I wish the best of luck to all the nominees. I will continue to work hard to earn another Daytime Emmy nomination next year!” she wrote on Instagram.

Three nominees remain in the Younger Performer category: Days‘ Cary Christopher, General Hospital‘s Eden McCoy and The Bold and the Beautiful‘s Henry Joseph Samiri.

The award ceremony is planned to be held on June 16 at the Westin Bonaventure Hotel in Los Angeles.
