We dont know who submitted? Also, with four shows the pickings are small. I doubt Deidre Hall, Eileen Davidson, James Scott, or any other veteran actor submitted. Overall DOOL didn't have a lot of good material, but Id argue there were decent episodes here and there over other soaps. Honestly, I'd say 2014 was a joke for all the soaps in general. |

I'm not really sure what you're saying, but I agree about 2014 being a joke. That was kind of the point. I think the list of Days' prenoms just shows how far the show has fallen. When that's the best you have to offer, there's a problem. Who submitted and who didn't doesn't really change that. I didn't expect to see Deidre or James anyway, and I'm not surprised at Eileen's absence. :shrug: |

I thought the same thing about Peggy McCay. The Alzheimer storyline was in 2013, wasn't it? I can see her for a lifetime achievement award but leading actress, no. Didn't the Nick Fallon storyline end already before the 2014 year started? Not sure but he did win already last year or am I mistaken about that too? The nominations for Days are a joke! Where are the real stars that should have been nominated? I'm sorry but this whole nomination for Days is seriously flawed and it's almost like they are setting themselves up to lose. WHY? |

Blake wasn't even nominated last year. He definitely didn't win. His story was in 2014. He had story in 2013, but his murder was in May 2014. |

Yeah, different places list a different year, either 1987 or 1988. Jason, however, has pretty firm proof it's 1987. And I think her lack of presence among the nominees confirms that. When there are so many female colleagues of hers that belong in the Supporting category, I doubt she would choose to submit in that category and not in the much easier Younger Actress category if she's eligible. |

Put this in the Days thread but I will post it here too. Personally, I gave up on category placement. Every year it gets worse. It feels like over the last 15 years it has become more and more of an issue where actors/actresses place their names in lead or supporting when they should be in whatever the opposite category is. Politics and confusion have both played roles at times but it has become clear it will only continue to get worse so meh. As for these pre-nominations, I think Days has a good chance at doing well when I look at what the other shows offered. They will likely do very well in the younger categories and I LOVE that the kids were nominated because Days has a great group of them (Lauren Boles in particular) and child actors used to get recognized at the Emmy's all the time. Not so much of late. I think that stopped in the late 90's around the time Camryn Grimes was being nominated for Y&R. Kind of surprised the Kunitz twins or the girls that played Allie weren't pre-nominated since they had far more to work with than Theo or Chase but very happy for Lauren Boles and all of them, for that matter. I could see True O Brien getting in honestly. The younger categories are that weak and she stands a better chance than the child actors since she has more material (which is also adult material). I think O Brien and Banus both get in (with Banus being a well deserved selection because she was amazing during her exit story). I think Banus has a good shot at winning if she is nominated too. Glad Casey Moss got pre-nominated since last year he got slighted. I think he gets in this year and so does Freddie Smith (especially since he has been nominated before). They both got the material. Eric Martsolf is getting nominated for sure. He has been nominated (and won) and he definitely submitted something with ED. ED has tons of support from the CBS shows so her support will transfer to him. I would not be surprised if he pulls a win again because of that support. Berris should win this category tho. I expect a nomination for him (he has been nominated in younger actor before) but since the voters have regularly snubbed him (he had one prior nomination but he should've been nominated last year and the year he got nominated he should've won) I can see him losing in favor of Martsolf. CS is not awful. She isn't great but I think her character having no direction has hurt her more than anything. I am guessing she submitted the scenes in November from when she confronted Clyde about raping her. I could see her sneaking in because she will have Y&R support (because of Justin Hartley) and I wonder if maybe GH will support her a little since she used to be an ABC actress. She is a long shot but it would not surprise me. Cosgrove in no way is a lead but that was pretty smart to put him there. They know Martsolf already has a good shot in supporting and lead is a tougher category so why not go with Cosrove who has been a part of a soap on every network? He knows a ton of people and will have a ton of support and he has the material. If he submitted what he should of (his explanation to Hope of what happened to Meredith), he stands a REALLY good chance to get nominated. I agree that McKay stands a good chance at nod. She has gotten nominated before and has that one good reel (that is all you need). She does not belong in there but again that is pretty smart. I do think Ali will get nominated this year. She has the material and if she submits right (the morgue scenes) I think she has a chance at winning, especially since most think it is between West, Tognoni, and Tom and I can see them all splitting votes allowing Sweeney to sneak out a win. I always say people go on and on about material and how some don't have it, they did nothing last year, etc. That doesn't matter. You need one good reel. One good episode. Hell, 4 good minutes of an episode. That is plenty. That and you have to have friends and support across all the networks. Name value matters too. If you have been nominated before, your set. If you've won, your even more set. If your on a show that knows how to play the Emmy game well, your also set. Days has learned how to do that and having only 4 soaps has obviously helped. They clearly vote with Y&R and B&B and assuming they have that arrangement this year, I can see Days and Y&R taking on a good amount of the nominations. There were a few snubs but nothing outrageous. Wasn't a good year for great acting, writing, etc. My guesses for nominees: Lead Actress Lang McKay Sweeney Tognoni Tom Could see West getting snubbed since Days/CBS seem to vote together and I feel they will want to lock her out this year.

I forgot about Jen Lilley. I like JL/Theresa quite a bit, but I definitely don't think she's done anything Emmy-worthy in her entire time on Days. I did, however, LOVE the way she played Theresa after she hit John over the head with the fireplace poker. The combination of panic/worry/excitement that Theresa showed made her more interesting than ever before. |

I can absolutely see GH getting some serious snubs...I can totally see Maura West and especially Laura Wright getting a big snub in Lead Actress by the CBS/DAYS block voting. CBS will throw DAYS a bone by giving them Alison Sweeney in turn for support for their ladies. That is my guess. GH is left out in the cold with no soap to help them (last year they still had OLTL/AMC support). GH had WAY more pre-nominations last year...so you know they lost support somewhere. GH had 20 last year and this year 14 (-6 from prior year) DAYS had 14 last year and this year 13 (-1 from prior year) Y&R had 19 last year and this year 22 (+3 from prior year) B&B had 9 last year and this year 10 (+1 from prior year) You can see that GH suffered clearly from losing OLTL/AMC support, while DAYS/B&B literally are unchaged in support and Y&R got a little more support. As shitty as it is for GH...welcome to what DAYS had to deal with through almost all of the 1990's and 2000's with only having network support from 1 other soap (PSNS or AW), while the other soaps all had 3 other shows helping them.

Good points and I had forgotten about AMC and OLTL not being factors. This is why I think Days and Y&R will dominate (B&B will do as well as they can but because they don't have as many pre-noms they won't dominate). I would not be surprised to only see 3-4 major nods for GH. |

I also think that if they drop the Drama Series nominations back to 3, then GH is for sure out in that category. Realistically it should be 2 nominations for Drama Series to keep with the Emmy rule of not more than 50%. In that case, it could be DAYS vs Y&R and I can any extra support from GH going to DAYS instead of the Bell soaps. Edited by Mitchapalooza, Feb 4 2015, 05:30 PM.

VERY early (without knowing reels but an educated guess) predictions and what I would like to see happen... Younger Actor 1. Bryan Craig, GH 2. Max Ehrich, Y&R 3. Casey Moss, DAYS 4. Tequan Richmond, GH 5. Freddie Smith, DAYS ****Think I would basically like the same thing to happen. This is the saddest category. I think it should be between Moss and Craig, but I thought that last year too. Younger Actress 1. Kristen Alderson, GH 2. Camila Banus, DAYS 3. Camryn Grimes, Y&R 4. Hunter King, Y&R 5. Ashlyn Pearce, B&B ***Basically the same. I would put Lauren Boles in over Alderson. Supporting Actor 1. Blake Berris, DAYS 2. Steve Burton, Y&R 3. Scott Clifton, B&B 4. Eric Martsolf, DAYS 5. Jacob Young, B&B ****It was so frustrating narrowing this category down because juggling who is deserving vs. the Emmy darlings just pisses me off. Also this category is LOADED with Emmy favorites. Had trouble getting rid of Darin Brooks because they love him. Also Steve Burton is horrible, but he's in...lets just be honest. Supporting Actress 1. Nancy Lee Grahn, GH 2. Amelia Heinle, Y&R 3. Elizabeth Hendrickson, Y&R 4. Finola Hughes, GH 5. Michelle Stafford, GH ***Don't understand Kelly Sullivan here. She's been nominated lately too because she has a lot of friends in the industry. Makes me nervous. There are some leads in here just like with supporting actor. Lead Actor 1. Peter Bergman, Y&R 2. Doug Davidson, Y&R 3. Anthony Geary, GH 4. Billy Miller, Y&R 5. Jason Thompson, GH ****This is such a WTF category with people who aren't Leads (CLB, DD, DC, JM) and someone who was around for like a month but is the biggest star out of all the nominees, period. Plus there's just some all-time big dogs here with Geary, Braeden, Bergman. Then there's the just really good actors JT and BM. Lead Actress 1. Alison Sweeney, DAYS (BLECK, cheering for Peggy) 2. Gina Tognoni, Y&R 3. Heather Tom, B&B 4. Maura West, GH 5. Laura Wright, GH ****This category isn't close to what it used to be, but if the right people make it then its still top heavy and a good category. Some more people who aren't Leads. |

No surprise to see Melissa Claire Egan making a bid for Lead Actress. The Emmy panel are nuts about her (I don't know why). Seems she's been nominated every one of the seven years she has been on the soap landscape. |

Interesting to see Chad Duell be old enough this year to be in the Supporting Actor category. Glad I can root for him and Bryan Craig, and I hope Haley gets a nom. She was fantastic in her scene when she found out Ric was dead. Also glad to see Martsolf in the game again. |

I was thinking Camila Banus might be the favorite to win but then I remembered Camryn Grimes is back. She still has a great shot and at least the category seems better this year. |

I'm not. I also agree that KM's material didn't have a lot of moments that would pop out on a reel. Edited by Restless84, Feb 4 2015, 09:27 PM.

Nothing. We just won't know who's #4 and #5. They vote only once after the pre-nominations. They announce 4-5 nominees (getting most votes) and they already know the winner. No voting after nominations are announced. |

Ehh, I'm not surprised by their nominations. It wasn't exactly a banner year for them. I feel like the only actors who got and delivered anything emmy worthy were AS, BB, CB and maybe EM. JS phoned in just about all his performances so I can see why he didn't submit. KM, AZ, ED and JL didn't get anything 'emmy' worthy. I feel like GV may have been the only snub from Days. On the other soaps, Sharon Case is the obvious snub. And I'd have given Don Diamont a pre-nom before Steve Burton. |
