Daytime Emmys - preview/review
I’m getting ready to watch the Emmys from friday night, but usually when I do that, I have a list that I make of MY picks first. Somehow I didn’t do that yet this year, so I’m late hee!
OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES
- All My Children
- As the World Turns
- General Hospital
- The Young and the Restless
I can’t help it, it’s still the best in my eyes, even though I watch 3 of the 4. GH is the one I have enjoyed the most this year.
Yay!
OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR
- Michael E Knight (Tad Martin, AMC)
- Roger Howarth (Paul Ryan, ATWT)
- Jack Wagner (Nick Marone, B&B)
- Steve Burton (Jason Morgan, GH)
- Grant Aleksander (Phillip Spaulding, GL)
- Christian J LeBlanc (Michael Baldwin, Y&R)
Although I’d be super happy for Michael or Roger too! Steve has had a good year, and this is is first in LEAD status. The other people in the category have all won at one point or another I believe.
OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS
- Martha Byrne (Lily Snyder, ATWT)
- Susan Flannery (Stephanie Forrester, B&B)
- Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis, GH)
- Kim Zimmer (Reva Shayne, GL)
- Erika Slezak (Victoria Davidson, OLTL)
- Kassie DePaiva (Blair Cramer, OLTL)
- Juliet Mills (Tabitha Lenox, PS)
- Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Somers, Y&R)
Last year, I said Martha. Now I’m wavering because NLG was so good this year. I’d be just as happy with Martha! Kassie and Erika are really good too. Kim and Susan and Michelle are favorites, but not mine.
Okay, I can be happy with Erika winning
OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR
- Jeff Branson (Jonathan Lavery, AMC)
- Cameron Mathison (Ryan Lavery, AMC)
- Tyler Christopher (Nikolas Cassadine, GH)
- Rick Hearst (Ric Lansing, GH)
- Justin Deas (Buzz Cooper, GL)
- Greg Rikaart (Kevin Fisher, Y&R)
I’d be very happy with Cameron, but I don’t want Jeff. Rick would also make me happy. Hasn’t Justin won a lot of times?
The only guy I’ve never seen?
OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS
- Natalia Livingston (Emily Quartermaine, GH)
- Robin Christopher (Skye Chandler Quartermaine, GH)
- Crystal Chappell (Olivia Spencer, GL)
- Heather Tom (Kelly Cramer, OLTL)
- Ilene Kristen (Roxanne Balsom, OLTL)
- Jeanne Cooper (Katherine Chancellor, Y&R)
I won’t be surprised is Robin gets it, and I hear that Cyrystal has had a good year. I also wouldn’t be sad if Heather got it, because I know what a great year she had before leaving OLTL. I don’t really like Ilene, and Jeanne has stolen the spotlight for many years!
yay, Natalia did get it!
OUTSTANDING YOUNGER ACTOR
- Jacob Young (Adam Chandler, JR, AMC)
- Scott Clifton (Dillon Quartermaine, GH)
- Tom Pelphrey (Jonathan Randall, GL)
- David Lago (Raul Guittierez, Y&R)
- Michael Graziadei (Daniel Romalotti, Y&R)
I’d be just as happy if Jacob got it.
OUTSTANDING YOUNGER ACTRESS
- Alexa Havins (Babe Chandler, AMC)
- Eden Riegel (Bianca Montgomery, AMC)
- Jennifer Ferrin (Jennifer Munson, ATWT)
- Adrianne Leon (Brook Lynn Ashton, GH)
- Crystal Hunt (Lizzie Spaulding, GL)
PLEASE let Eden get it this year! I thought for SURE she’d get it last year though. If it were a vote, it could easily be divided because of Alexa being in there I suppose. I love so many of these actresses. Adrianne has really done an amazing job this year, and same for Jennifer, although she could get it next year and I’d be happy. And if Eden doesn’t get it, I do love Alexa.
WOO! Eden won, and with such grace.
OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES WRITING TEAM
- As the World Turns
- General Hospital
- Guiding Light
- The Young and the Restless
I have to go with ATWT for writing because I think the storylines have been phenomenal for how much this show has come out of being small time show to big time show.
another good guess!
OUTSTANDING DRAMA SERIES DIRECTING TEAM
- All My Children
- General Hospital
- Guiding Light
- The Young and the Restless
GH does good direction, that’s very true.
Good Guesser I am
In Retrospect…
So it was a night for Y&R guys and shut out my fav men on daytime in that, too. Weird! My girls and my shows won though, and there were beautiful presenters and stuff in between that was great. They cut off GH talking at the end though, and that was kinda crappy, silly slow show!
