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.

Back in the day, there was a lot of competition, 9-10 shows at a time, and in its earlier days, Bold was rarely nominated. That explains why older actors often have no Emmys despite being great.

The actors also have to put together a reel to submit. It is their choice. Typically, we don't know if someone submitted unless they tell us. In any given year, you may not feel you have anything worth submitting. I said in a previous post I think there is some strategy involved. The goal is for your show to bring home the most Emmys.
It is probably good for advertisers, but IMO, the Daytime Emmys don't mean a lot in the larger entertainment industry. Most never cross over to prime time or film. Also, not everyone wants to. Some people are just happy to have a job they love. They don't care about fame.
