I wanted to see AMC win, but I'm happy with B&B. That was horrible that Brad's acceptance speech wasn't aired. So disrespectful. If it had happened to JFP, then it would be a different story.

I'm happy for B&B. It was tacky that the acceptance speech was cut off.

If DAYS didn't win, I was rooting for B&B. Glad AMC didn't win for the stupid tornado. Storm's death was so much better.

That was so brutal!! I wanted to hear Bradley talk. Instead we got 2 minutes of credits? WTF!! They wasted minutes on Vanessa's 2nd song/dance. That was pointless.

Couldn't they have rolled credits WHILE Bradley was giving his speech?

[Cheap21]

I cant beleive they plated an AA promo over B&Bs win! Even JFP at least got to start her speech

I wanted AMC to win. I thought it was pretty entertaining for most of last year. B&B was a dreadful mess and I cant comment on Days

The huge American Airline ad while the B&B cast was going on stage was also tacky.

[DeeeDee]

YAY B&B!

[Y&RWorldTurner]

I'm glad B&B won, their reel was definitely the least stunty and splashy when compared to AMC and DAYS.

I suspect the producers wanted to do that but there was miscommunication to the stage and B&B people didn't know we were still able to see/hear them while the credits were rolling.

The producers of the awards were amateurs! What an embarrassment. The biggest award for soaps doesn't even get an acceptance speech. No wonder soaps get no respect.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Poor Bradley Bell finally winning and not getting his speech broadcast.

[bellcurve]

God, as a B&B Fan(in file, since I've given it up recently), I was SO excited to see the win for Drama Series. And then they fly a plane over the big moment to plug American Airlines and two minutes of credits?!

What the hell!

I thought this was one of the best telecasts this decade(in terms of the graphics and packaging, etc), but the production company really needed to work out their time management issues.

I am still pissed that we didn't get a Brad Bell speech. We watch to see speeches, not horrible fashion show ripoffs and Vanessa Williams singing more than the one song.

I want this production company to do it again(White Cherry still blows), but they have to work out the timing and push more of those awards to the crafts ceremony. Especially the ones where they know no one will fly from NY to attend.

Even though I don't like his writing, I feel bad for him. He's been waiting a long time for this......... Yikes.

Definitely embarrassing - especially since this was B&B's first win for best drama. Again I ask - why was Vannessa Williams allowed to have TWO production numbers (the first one lasted more than five minutes)?

Didn't they know that they'd go over?

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Oh, and I found Elizabeth Korte strangely hot.

I don't think they did. Did you see how fast they hiked Haskell and LeBlanc on stage before the last commercial break?

UGH! SOOOO pissed.

They should always strive for the show to end 5 minutes before going off, that way they at least have some time for the Best drama speech. And you're suppose to have someone timing everything to see if the time is on track. If it's not, you have to cut stuff out....like Dr. Phil and his wife talking before B&B's reel (it should've been, "Here's the B&B clip!" and that's it).....or Vanessa's second song.

And the Buzz Aldren thing....what was that about? That was another 1-2 minutes.

No SH*T.

I think that's what Dr. Phil was going for, but Robin just had to ramble on and on and on.

LOL.

I think they should have cut the second Vanessa Williams song. There aren't really any unimportant categories they could have moved to another day, and the presentation of the categories was already bare-bones "here are the nominees" with no clips or intros after awhile. Overall I was happy that there even *was* an awards show.

I am fine with B&B winning, given the competition, since I don't watch any of the three shows so can't judge them. Its montage looked like the best -- good mix of action, romance/sex, glamor, and drama.

Brad sucks I'm glad he didn't get his Glory speech.

Remember at the time we thought Y&R was robbed of a nom, in the current state I'm glad it was.
