How do Emmy nominations work? How prestigious it it?

Does anyone know how they choose between the actors? Is there a jury or something? A specific group of fans? One judge only? Or are there public surveys on social medias? In other words, who is making the decisions?

I have nothing against specific actors, but I am curious when I read the results.
For example : how do J. M. Woods or H. Tom win multiple "Outstanding Lead Actress" awards in such a short time ; while some older actresses like H. Tylo or K. K. Lang never won one in 30 years?
Other example: T. Novlan and M. Atkinson have been leading men for several years, and never even got nominated. But S. Clifton (who hardly appeared on screen since last summer) already won 3 Emmys and I see he got nominated again. I like Liam more than Thomas and Finn as characters and Clifton is one of my favorite actors but if I'm honest, Atkinson and Novlan shone a lot more as actors over the last 12 months. In my opinion. Why have they never won anything, I'm curious.
I repeat it, I have nothing against any of these actors and actresses. I like everyone's acting, but the results sometimes surprise me.

Other interrogation : how prestigious are these nominations and Emmys in the world of cinema? Do actors with zero award have more chances to be written off this soap? Do they get more big stories if they win something? If this soap gets cancelled one day, will actors with awards have more chances to land big roles on other shows?

Sorry, I know it's a lot of question. I've wanted to ask these for a long time. Most of you probably have no idea. But if you know something, I'd like to find out. A comrade asked me these questions a while ago, and I had no idea what to tell him.

I don't know every detail on how it works, but IMO, they don't mean as much as they used to given there are only a few soaps left. And for me, I don't judge an actor based on how many Emmy's they won or none, if they move me say to tears with their powerful performance..that's a sign of great acting imo.

Shown on screen, Steffy blackmailed Bill. Yet, she told Ivy (and Liam too) that “blackmail is a crime”. Per Steffy’s own words, she IS a criminal cuz she has blackmailed.
