Uh, Antonio Sabato, Jr. is black? Who knew!

The awards are for any person of color, not just African American.

OK, but Sabato is Italian and Czech...unless "white ethnic European" means "of color" these days.

I know, that confuses me too. It would have made more sense if Lorenzo Lamas was nominated from B&B, but truthfully, I don't think they really give the soap categories much thought, so, oh, well... It is what it is, I guess.

Well, isn't that somethin'. I wrongfully assumed he was Latin. I guess they did too (lol).

Here's to Davetta and KSJ taking the awards home!

Antonio Sabato Jr. LOL!

I think he deserves more an Emmy considering the panelists often have a total lack for sense: he could be the male Natalia Livingston... LMAO

Hopefully Davetta Sherwood will win!!!!

Ugh Renee Jones was robbed. Hopefully, she can get herself an emmy nod.

I hoping for a Davetta win maybe Victoria Rowell did a little whispering in the ears of NACCP.

I think the soap awards are handed out pre tele-cast. That's why I want to be a fly on the wall, cause we're not going to see anything during the televised show.

UGH! Soaps NEVER get respect!

I remember Shemar winning his Daytime Award during the telecast last year. Of course, that's all I remember about the Daytime categories. They could have done it because it was Shemar...I dunno, but it should be on the telecast.

The NAACP Image Award, like many other awards these days, are a complete joke. Always has been, always will be. It has nothing to do with QUALITY & TALENT, but the fact that a person is "colored".

C. Khalil does not deserve a nomination, let alone an award. Bryton? Just don't care for him. KS John & D. Sherwood deserved to be nominated & should win. V. Rowell taking her name out of consideration might be her way of securing a win for Sherwood. Rowell is very fond of her, and recognizes that with enough hard work (effort, training etc) Sherwood can be a great actress, a better one than Khalil will ever be.

It's clear that there's no love lost between Rowell & Khalil; it's evident on screen. Again, why did Bill Bell Jr. and/or Latham fire Sherwood? And I want the real reason.

Aww, don't you remember, the same thing happened the year Shemar Moore came back for his last temporary stint.

He was AUTOMATICALLY nominated for the NAACP award even tho he barely aired by 12/31 of that year.

And HE WON, going against KSJ, who had just come off of the alchoholic s/l, and fighting for his daughter!?

I heard that Shemar wins whenever he is nominated, no matter what he's done. I thought at the time this

was totally ridiculous, but lo and behold, nary a peep on the boards when he did win, having done nothing

that year except show up.

NAACP seems to operate as a popularity contest, and VR plays the game and courts them with phone calls, parties.

She knows how to market herself, and I'm sure she'll plug DS this year.

Remember what she said last year at NAACP. She said that she would no longer put herself up for the award, cause it was time to pass the baton, and then she called out DS to stand up, even tho CK, who had been nominated was sitting right there!!!!

And even tho there were actresses from the other shows there competing.

It was like she was telling EVERYONE that she was passing the baton to DS, and that it was a foregone conclusion that she

would win automatically, as VR does ANYTIME she's nominated.

So we'll see, and I will be shocked if DS doesn't win, cause as someone stated.. it is a given that someone from Y&R

WILL win in these categories. NAACP awards has lost my respect.

RIDICULOUS!!!

I just cannot believe that they wouldn't nominate Renee Jones. I'm sorry but, the scene where she had to tell Hope about Zach alone should earn her recognition.

They want to give someone a chance to win. Ironically, the award will still go back to Y&R, cause I think Ms. Sherwood is going to win.

I think the reason why Y&R win all the time because they have the most black viewership.
