The Daytime Emmys are the hugest deal in the world of soaps. It is a complete madhouse at fan bases everywhere during Emmy season. The pre-nominations and actual nominations drive everyone crazy. You want your favorites to win, but you never know who the Emmy actually goes to. The ceremony is unique each year with the clips, the presenters, and, of course, the wins. You never know what’ll happen… The wins can be wonderful and well deserved or shocking and make fans go, “What the hell?”
But let’s just focus on nominations… They can be so exciting and provoke many predictions on who’ll win. This year’s noms are no different. This year there are surprising and happy ones as well as some glaring omissions. Either way, the acting noms for each show are definitely something to talk about…
AMC: Only three noms?? SAY WHAT?! I mean, congratulations to Bobbie Eakes, Thorsten Kaye, and Leven Rambin, but AMC usually has a nomination in almost each category. What happened this year? Were only three actors good enough or were there just better actors from other shows? (sigh) Although there were few noms, I’m quite happy for Bobbie, Thorsten, and Leven; all three haven’t won an Emmy. I’m not sure what episodes Thorsten submitted, so I’m a little surprised about his nomination. He’s not favored by me to win. Leven and Bobbie have a fairly good chance to win, but they’re among other very talented actors. I hope they win; they’re two favorites of mine. Go Leven! Go Bobbie!
GH: Five noms…not too shabby, but not all that great either. Usually GH has lots of nominations, but not this year. Like I said with AMC…actors must have gotten overlooked, especially Nancy Lee Grahn (my favorite). And how on earth can Kelly Monaco be up for LEAD Actress? To me she seems more appropriate for the Supporting category; has she really done work that’s considered Lead? Congrats to her anyway as well as Tony Geary, Maurice Benard, Tyler Christopher, and Scott Clifton. They all have done amazing work this past year, but I’m rooting for others in their categories. They’re just not top favorites of mine, and a few have already won an Emmy or two. But wouldn’t it be something if Kelly wins since she is co-hosting the event? Good luck to her on Emmy night.
GL: WOW - EIGHT noms with at least one in each category! Is GL finally getting the recognition it deserves? It’s been quite low in the ratings the past few years and usually isn’t up for many awards. But it must have been excellent in 2005 because Kim Zimmer, Beth Ehlers, Robert Newman, Ron Raines, Jordan Clarke, Gina Tognoni, Crystal Chappell, Tom Pelphrey, and Mandy Bruno are all nominated. That’s the most acting noms for any show! I’m rooting for everyone because GL is an underdog show and most of those actors are Emmy-less. However, I’m not rooting for Kim Zimmer. She has, like, six Emmys already; she doesn’t need anymore, lol. While the numerous noms are wonderful, why aren’t Stephanie Gatschet and Ricky Paull Goldin a part of the list? They had huge stories in 2005 and had some phenomenal scenes. I’m sure they had some part in getting their co-stars, Tom Pelphrey and Beth Ehlers respectively, nominated! There’s always next year… And can you believe Beth Ehlers is nominated?! I guess you can; she’s been nominated a few times, but…never for LEAD! She’s the first actress to land nominations in all three acting categories; how cool is that? Anyway…she’s my girl, and I am SO excited for her! GO BETH!!
OLTL: Another poor year for them… They hardly get any nominations, mostly just one or two. It’s a talented little show full of history, but for some reason its actors are usually overlooked. This year their representative is Renee Goldsberry. I’m not really sure if she was great enough to be nominated, for there is always an oddball among the noms. But congrats to her anyway since this is her first nomination. I don’t think she has a good chance, but you never know. She could be all odds and win!
Bottom line: Good luck to everyone on all my shows! I’m sure I’ll be happy with the winners as long as they’re from my shows. ☺
And remember…anything can happen. You never know whom those Emmy judges will choose. Everyone has a chance at winning.
