The Emmys are all about politics, always have been, probably always will (unless they pull off that much-needed change). You have to have the right "This-is-my-Emmy-material" episode and you've gotta have friends (who aren't also up for the award, or like someone who is, better). Y&R lost Michelle Stafford, who was a fave among the Emmy voters, thus that category is now just B&B and DAYS (the one DAYS "person" the Emmy voters like - AZ, and an recently-ex-Y&R and ex-B&B actress - ED, plus the two B&Bers). DAYS has (at least the last 10-15 years) never really had any leading men in the Emmy category, while Y&R always have, look at what the category is like. Four Y&R men and one from GH, who has previous noms. I feel like every year, the Emmys are pretty predictable, and it has nothing to do, really, with the actual material that aired through the year. That's not to say that the person who wins, didn't deserve it - sometimes there's a wonderful happening that the person that win actually did the best work, and that's nice. And there are always a couple surprises, good AND bad, but it's pretty predictable. And that's not a good thing. I'm a soap fan, I love the tradition of it, I love the community of fans, but it seriously annoys me the change the past decade. Four soaps left, currently no network set to air its should-be-prestigious-award-ceremony and the awards themselves are too political. It was sort of ok when you had something like the SOD Awards to even it out, where the fans (who actually see the material and just like what they like) got to vote and an award ceremony that was just for us and the actors, not all politics. :soapbox: |

For me, what made Drake so likable onscreen is his chemistry with Deidre, his chemistry with the Brady family people (Kim, Caroline, Kayla, Bo) and his kids... and that he had this beautiful vulnerability in his acting. He could really bring the emotion when the scene called for it. Maybe he's not what the Emmy voters want, I agree, but not everyone has to be. And he didn't really submit either, so maybe he agreed too. Something changed when they started messing with John's past the third-fourth-umpteenth time, that's a whole other convo ;) But I need that in the actors, I need the vulnerability and to be able to feel the emotion. That's what hooked me on DAYS in the first place. And I guess that's what I feel is so missing with Eric M, and what made me just not like the "newbies" from the late 90s and on. It's what I feel I saw in some of Greg's performances this year, and in Ari's too. It's what makes me happy about Jane Elliot's nom, despite my feelings about the Emmys. She gives layers to Tracy, every single day she's on. |

Congrats to all nominees. I'm excited for everyone. I'm so happy Bryan Craig is nominated and I hope he wins. Morgan is the only guy I really care for on GH. I'm kinda surprised that Casey Moss (JJ Deveraux) didn't receive a nod this year after all he's done. Predictions later lol. |

I wish the judging was based on more than just one or two reels. Heather Tom is a fantastic actress and I wouldn't be surprised at all if she won (again) but Eileen owned the whole year. She didn't just have one or two good episodes, she tore it up all year long and drove story from start to finish. She was the definition of a Lead Actress, and while I don't watch B&B so I'm admittedly biased, I can't imagine that Heather was as mesmerizing as boring ass Katie Logan as Eileen was as Kristen DiMera. There's just no topping the year she had, IMO. |

I agree 100%. She's at her best opposite Deidre. Such a great rivalry. So much chemistry. Even last November, when she held up her wrists and said "You couldn't miss the chance to cut Kristen open one more time and watch her blee-e-e-ed!!!" I knew she'd be nominated, and I'd hoped that it would be her tape. I think it's her best shot. And kudos to the writing of that scene, too. |

James Scott even said that he submitted a scene with Ali Sweeney for consideration. Well, James, if you want to know why you weren't nominated... |

I did too, but I can understand this, because it wasn't exactly an Emmy-winning episode. It was more like a big celebration of the show's 50th. However, isn't there two episodes that the shows submit? What was the other episode they submitted? Surely not two from the same happening? If they wanted to submit an episode from the 50th period, they should have gone with the actual 50th celebration episode on April 2, when Rachel Ames appeared. THAT would have been more approriate. But obviously, it seems, that FV and RC aren't very good at choosing their reels, lol. |

I feel bad for Greg. Out of the foursome, he was the only one not nominated. But he had the least material. Still, it must suck for him being the only one from the four not to garner a nom. |

I agree on Sweeney...if she gets in, it will next year for her final year on DAYS. |

That's one the problems with the whole process. It's a reel and the actors seriously only need two good episodes to have a good reel. It doesn't matter if someone else was turning in good performances every single day for a year, if one person has a reel that screams Emmy of two episodes. I will actually give DAYS credit, one of (the many) reasons DAYS hasn't been an Emmy favorite is because they previously have not subscribed to that way of thinking. They haven't give their actors their two Emmy episodes, in which they step up and give their "performance", and then not given a shit the rest of the year. |

The Lead Actress noms are all from the same stories on their shows...clearly the Bill/Brooke/Katie thing on B&B and the Kristen/Eric rape story on DAYS is what drove their nominations in Lead Actress (and probably for Series & Writing as well). |

I agree. It was great for viewers, but it's not an Emmy winner (should be, but it's not). That one (50th), and the Robin/Patrick reunion, the episode that starts with Emma seeing Robin and yelling "Mommy!". Man, I cried like a baby. |

Y&R campaigns HARD for Emmy's...I can only hope that will somehow help Eileen Davidson. |

Oh yeah, and they also give their actors their Emmy reels wrapped up neatly in a bow. |
