Forget Zucker & Lang....the Lead Actress Emmy is straight up between Heather Tom & Eileen Davidson.

I am thinking ED has more supporters at Y&R than HT does to be honest. ED is beloved at Y&R. She also has some support I am sure from B&B since she was there for a few years as well.

Heather Tom gets all of her support from B&B/Y&R....ED has the advantage of snagging love from both Bell soaps AND from DAYS....so she has 3 soaps behind her, while HT has 2.

Both will have the other nominees (Lang for Tom and Zucker for Davidson) pulling some support away from their shows as well, so they are even in that regard.

If HT beats ED...to win her 4th LA emmy in a row....just NO!
You forget that Tom was on OLTL for 3-4 years (and did a heap of guest spots on AMC during that time).
It's gonna be a tough race in Lead Actress. B&B will likely split votes between KKL and HT. HT also has support from OLTL. Y&R folks will have to choose whether to go for Eileen or HT (although Eileen's been on the show in recent years, so that might benefit her). I think the cast and crew of Days will vote for Eileen. I know it sounds unfair towards AZ, but I think they all want ED to win and know that she's their best shot. In case of a tie, it might be people from AMC and GH deciding on the winner.
well Carlivati seems to have a grudge against Days and Tomlin so if he has any sway, I'd assume he'll be pushing for HT over anyone at Days.
Apparently he has no sway, since he now has the distincting of overseeing the first series/writing/directing tri-fecta snub GH has seen in decades.

Being know as "Ali's other half" doesn't help James Scott. Ali's acting is not respected in the industry. Sami might be a popular character, but Ali is NOT a great actress, and the industry knows it.
And I get the feeling Ali is not well liked in the industry either.

Why did Steve Burton get a nomination? Really?

He took that deer-caught-in-the-headlights stare from General Hospital and brought it over to Young and the Restless and made Dullan even more boring than Jason during his last dozen years.

Jill Farren Phelps must have a lot of buddies on the Emmy panel.
I'm sure she's already paid off whoever she needs to pay off to make sure he wins!

Freddie made a mistake when he asked the fans for suggestion, IMO.
Definitely agree with this part. I think it would be better to have someone a lot more willing to be critical choose the scenes instead of fans who will fawn over you no matter what, but oh well.

Edit: and argh! I was just reminded by something someone said on Twitter that Will and Sonny's break up/reunion scenes were at the beginning of the year. I actually didn't think that was handled well story-wise, but I thought Freddie did an excellent job in the scenes at his coffee shop where he told Will that sex wasn't going to solve their problems. Dang it, Freddie!
I think Freddie chose one of the hospital episodes, when Will was shot. He was leaning toward that anyway, but the fans gave input too. I can't see how anyone can argue with that submission. He also didn't have to be concerned with giving Chandler more material for the panel to see.

So happy for Ari Zucker! I'm pretty sure ED will win, out of the two, which I would be happy with also!

Too bad Blake Berris didn't get a nomination. His work last year was amazing!

Well, Carlivati can't vote anyway. Actors vote for actors. Writers vote for the writers.

This award show never fails to prove itself a joke, lol.
Is it even going to be aired anywhere?

I had to laugh at the Outstanding New Approaches – Drama Series category.

Yay for Ari and CM - although I side eye any nominations that also include best costume design and hair for Days.

Eileen really should win based on the whole year, but I agree with others that it is ALL about the reels. If Tom submitted a better reel than her it will be a hard win for her to achieve.

Im not making any predictions until we find out the reels. I do think DAYS has a great shot with Writing and Drama Series if they submitted either of the Kristen Weddings or Nick Rape Reveal/Arianna's Birth episodes.

SO happy for Ari Zucker. I knew she'd get her nomination! Very happy for Eileen as well. Where are Greg Vaughan and Blake Berris' nominations though?

I'm happy for AZ and ED. I'm glad the voters didn't allow sentimentality to cloud their judgment regarding AS. KKL has good moments, but HT is a POWERHOUSE performer, so she has my vote.

Would have loved for BB and CMoss to have made the list. But I will definitely take CMassey over FS. FS has his occasional good acting moments as so does GV. But their line deliveries are like fingernails on a chalkboard for me the majority of the time, so I'm completely OK with EM over GV. Although I love JS, I can't recall any scenes that warranted an Emmy, so I'm OK with his exclusion.

If Eileen submitted this as her tape...I think the Emmy could be hers.

Eileen is probably up against this tape from Heather Tom https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6MgPqGmrIY

I know I am rooting for Eileen....but Tom is overacting in this clip IMO.

:toetap: Can't believe Blake Berris didn't get a nom! I don't watch the other shows so I can't comment on those actors, but BB, by far, was the best on Days! :soapbox:

Greg and Blake were the best male actors on the show last year. As much as I like EM they just were. Sad they didn't get noms, especially Blake.

CM is fine, but I don't think he should have been nominated over FS, but I've felt that way since FS started. He's a much better actor, it's just that he's thought of as "supporting" to Chandler (though I think that's starting to change a bit).

Awesome news about Eileen and Ari! Although like others said I really hope they don't split the vote.

Anyway, congrats to the noms!

(And I sort of feel bad for AS).
Eileen has both Y&R and DAYS people voting for her. That could be said for Heather Tom, too, but Eileen was there more recently. On the other hand, Heather's brother is now back on Y&R, so... I'm betting Eileen wins it. Y&R peeps rally hard (DD last year, when JT deserved it without question).
She has Y&R/DAYS AND B&B people who will vote for her
So, even more obvious that she'll win.

Well, Amelia Heinle is now an Emmy nominee. And she derserved it.

Eric Martsolf but not Greg Vaugh?!? What?!?

Chandler Massey is the only nominated younger actor form Days. I cannot even...
Seriously, show me one scene that even warranted Eric Marstolf mentioned as a pre-nom. I can't even think of one. I can think of a handful for Greg just off the top of my head.

Blake deserved the nom. I mean, I genuinely believe the system is fucked up, and it needs to be re-worked completely, but that's a whole other conversation. The soap "community" believes in it, and holds an Emmy nomination/win up as the standard of which they celebrate their fellow actors for excellence (or whatever)... and in that case, I believe Blake and Greg all deserved to be applauded for their excellent work.

It's the same reason I'm beyond thrilled that Jane Elliot is nominated. She's done beautiful work for decades, I adored Tracy from the minute I first watched GH, and it's because Jane makes her complicated, lovable and fierce. I would have loved to see Finola Hughes up there, too, she had some beautiful work with both Jason and Kimberly.

I'm thrilled about Ari Zucker, Jane Elliot and Jason Thompson - and I'll be rooting for Bryan Craig to win his category, he's the most improved and he's showing some excellent work right now. Would have loved to see DAYS shut out of best drama in favor of GH, and seen Finola or even Maura West get a nom, but per usual, they rarely get anything right.
Here's one clip. When the pre-noms were announced, I tweeted EM and suggested he submit this episode.


I guess I just don't see it. I didn't care for him on Passions either, and I really wanted to like him on DAYS because he does play the son of my OTP. I liked him in his first scenes with Deidre, and the first scene with Drake was just ... weird, but decent. Then I quit watching after they left, and haven't liked anything since I started again.

But he got an Emmy nod, so my opinion doesn't matter ;)
