Members alwaysAMC Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 I'm guessing AMC's episode was the Mardi Gras ball - which was really well done - and should (hopefully) win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 Normally I'd be upset for Y&R but since the directing has gone into the sh!tter, I'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DruRocks Posted January 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 How has the directing gone in the "shitter"? It's still actually well done, but I still miss Kathryn Foster. GH will take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 GH should win, say what you want about that show, but the directing is always top notch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 AMC has now gotten recognition from both WGA and DGA in a year that by most, including me, was regarded as one of the worse years in the shows history.... does this mean the Emmy's are gonna shower them with love too? This will tell Frons "things are fine and his vision is the right one" Part of me wants major snubs just so it will be another reason to change things. Like as much as I am happy to see these people getting recognized (Casey Childs is an awesome director).... its just too much love for a show that wasn't very good (certainly not as good as we all know it could be) isn't a good thing.....

Members Chris B Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 Darn, Y&R has the exact same Directing team and I think they do a good job! Certainly better than GL and OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tzelkos Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 I wouldn't worry about AMC being showered with praise at the emmys, except maybe technical categories....and MEK. Kate Collins deserves a nomination but I have no doubt Frons will cut her out of the process in favor of this pets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members crc Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 I think the editing and quick pacing makes Y&R's directing look bad. But then again, GL got two noms and they do the same crap. So I don't know. LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AntiNWO Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 Y&R wasn't nominated but show destroyer Ellen Wheeler was!? How's that for her big ego? Wheeler is a better actress than she is an EP and director. Go back to acting, Wheeler! If GL really wants to win the 2008 Outstanding Drama Series, then Wheeler & Kreizman must be gone & Swajeski should be demoted. Y&R has a great improved directing team; Noel Maxam and Andrew Lee should have been the ones nominated instead of Wheeler & Mertes. See what I said, the media & the entertainment industry are doing everything to prevent GL's cancellation by PGP. When in fact they should be focusing on IMPROVING the show. GH has an outstanding directing team & I'm glad Ludel & McKinsey were recognized. But what about Owen Renfroe? AMC's OVER-RATED Mardi Gras ep will not, thankfully, give them a win. OLTL's team is very good too, better than AMC. WILL WIN: GH's Ludel or McKinsey SHOULD WIN: GH's Ludel or McKinsey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 It's lost everything that made it grandiose. The swiping camera shots, the close-ups on vases, mirrors, decanters, etc. The slow build into a scene, where you weren't instantly thrust into the action. It's not "special" anymore, it's just very good soap directing. And Y&R used to be above "very good". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DruRocks Posted January 11, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 Oh, yeah then I agree, except for the mirror which still is used most times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 2shane8 Posted January 11, 2007 Members Share Posted January 11, 2007 Throughout its history, OLTL has been much nominated for Direction at both the Emmys and the DGA's. I am not sure what episode they are up for, but I would say they have as good a shot as any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
