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.

I think Eric is a much better actor than Drake. Like, tons better.
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.

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

I love when Kristen says "YOU did it!!!! YOU DID IT!!!"
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.

It will all come down to the tapes that these actors submitted. It's less about who has been on which shows, who knows who, etc. When it comes down to it, the person with the best tape will win 9 times out of 10. Only then can we make the correct predictions.

As for Days, happy for ED getting a much-deserved nominatin, and thrilled for AZ sneaking into the top category. She was truly lead, has worked so hard, and deservs the recognition.

Happy for Eric Martsolf, who has had the best year of his career. I still think that Blake Berris deserved a nod for Days the most. His work was just so damn good, possibly the best performance on the show last year.

As for Chandler, there were 2 Chandlers last year. The one from January-May where he was in the midst of the Nick story, and he was riveting. Or the Chandler from June-December where he phoned it in. If he chose a tape from the first part of the year, he could three-peat. But I do think that Freddie was more consistent, and that Casey had the best single tape (his meltdown over the Jack/Kayla revelation). That's the one that surprises me the most.

As for other actors, I'm not surprised that Ali was snubbed. She's been snubbed for better years, and she didn't have many good tape options. Next year might be a different story if she submits herself.

James Scott's snub is a little surprising, since he did have one good tape opposite Joe Mascolo. But beyond that, there was little to work with. Same here, next year he could be a real contender.

And Greg Vaughn was solid, and to me could have been easily interchangable with Martsolf in supporting, but I maintain that Berris should have been ahead of them in either.

As for the younger ladies, CB has improved a great deal, but I don't know if she was worthy of a nod, so that doesn't bother me. Mansi is worthy, but didn't have the material. Next year will be her year for a nomination for sure.
I think James Scott is hindered by him constantly being stuck to AS' hip. His character is not allowed to flourish when he's constantly propping hers. I know he thinks no end of his pairing but I think once she leaves, he'll have more opportunities to show his range, especially if they stick him in story with ED. She did wonders for EM who improved dramatically and that's why he was able to get nominated.
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...

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.
Lol this is such a stereotypical soap opera scene!

Meltdown in 5... 4... 3...


That because he submitted last year Nurse Ball for best daytime drama :eyeroll: :soapbox:
I LOVED the Nurse's Ball :wub2:
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.

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.
