Daytime Emmys
I know everyone in the LuRe community is upset that Eric isn't nominated. I'm not all that surprised. Newbies to daytime don't usually earn a nomination unless they make an impact (think Tom Pelphrey (Jonathan) on Guiding Light) that's was monumental to the show that year. As much as I love ESS, that didn't happen with his character, no matter how good he was. The only other way is if there aren't too many contenders for the award in that category. And from what I've read, Best Supporting Actor has many contenders.
What I'm more pissed about is Trent and Michael Muhney (Adam, Y&R) didn't get nominations. WHAT? Trent was AMAZING last year. When Henry found out that Vienna wasn't really pregnant and he confronted Katie about her keeping it a secret, it was damn near the best scene on the show that year. And as much as I hate Adam (and Lord knows I cannot stand that character) MM has been tremendous in the role. He's completely made it his own and has taken it to a level the previous actor that played Adam didn't/couldn't do.
Other thoughts...I really hate it when B&B wins Best Drama because usually it sucks. But I don't see how they don't win if they submit the stuff from when Stephanie went through her lung cancer. It would be awesome to see Debbi Morgan or Colleen Zenk win Best Actress, but I suspect it'd will be Susan Flannery or Michelle Stafford. Remember when Best Younger Actor/Actress had five or six nominations? What the hell happened? Only three a piece? Was that a new rule they put in place? My love for when he played Gus on GL makes me hope Ricky Paull Goldin wins Best Actor. Julie Pinson is nominated again. WTF? Watch she wins again this year, despite everyone who watched ATWT hating her. Go Heather Tom and Tricia Cast. LOL at ATWT getting a Best Writing nom. LOL forever. And after next years awards (since OLTL and AMC will be eligible for them) will there even be any more acting awards in the Daytime Emmys? What's the point with only four soaps?
