The Should-Be Pre-Nominations: 2008 Daytime Emmy Award

[alwaysAMC]

Wait, what??? How do you not see Bobbie Eakes (Krystal, AMC) as a Lead Actress nominee?

She was on FIRE during Babe's 'death' - and then the breakup with Adam - and then while Jenny was kidnapped by Janet. She was Lead in all those storylines...we saw her world fall apart. The episode where she held a gun on Adam is totally her Emmy-reel, along with breaking down at Babe's funeral. That woman deserves the Emmy this year!

I don't agree. I am fine with everything the way it is. I actually think the Younger Category should be expanded to the age of 30. But that's JMO. I don't feel that we need episode number limitations.

I disagree. I think Cam was awesome when he found Spike after the car accident. Cam has already notched up two supporting actor nominations. I wouldn't be surprised if he got a third. Bobbie Eakes is definetely lead actress material. I see no other lead actress that has had emmy material on AMC this year. Lucci IMO hasn't done much of anything this year....

I agree on David Canary. I think Alicia would be lucky to get a nomination at this point of her career. She's like the Laura Wright of AMC.

Alexa was on fire for the first half of this year. Anything from January to late May/June could suffice in a nomination for Supporting Actress.

Cam did nothing for me during the Crash storyline. His acting isn't my cup of tea and I hardly think it's Emmy worthy

GH has a lot of supporting thespians to choose from, including Tyler Christopher, John Ingle, Nancy Lee Grahn, Anthony Geary, just to name a few. Talk about competition. I wish the nomination process allowed for an unlimited amount of thespians to be nominated in the acting categories. Remember when ATWT had 3 supporting actors & 3 supporting actresses earlier this decasde (2002?). If they good, show appreciation. If a certain show has the 5 best actors in a certain category, then every one of them should be nominated.

Does anyone believe other shows deserve to be nominated?

People always complain when the nominations are announced every year in March. So, why don't they want stiffer & improved rules at the Daytime Emmys so it may regain its credibility?

I think it will be a three-way battle b/w GH, GL & Y&R. Since Kreizman is riding high from this year's win in this category, the chances that his writing team will win again are significantly higher.

[Cola]

Yes!!!

[RuAsRuAnAu]

I shouldn't have listed Lucci b/c she would never in a million years submit herself in anything other than Lead. To her, it's Lead or bust. Julia Barr was different. When she was supporting, she choose Supporting...and won. I feel Jess Walton will submit herself in the Supporting category b/c her is supporting & her chances of winning will be much greater. She'll have a hard time being pre-nominated in Lead. That race is b/w MTS, Cooper, Case, and Stafford.

[RuAsRuAnAu]

I think it's a three-way battle for this award between GH, OLTL (as long as they don't submit anything by Mitwell) & Y&R.

[RuAsRuAnAu]

Barely anything on AMC in 2007 has been award-worthy. Are Esensten & Brown head writers in name only? If so, who is really steering the sinking ship that is Pine Valley? Frons? JHC? McTavish!?

[YRBB]

OK, here is who I think should be nominated/pre-nominated and, in bold, who I'm hoping will win an Emmy for each category:

Y&R:

Peter Bergman

Christian LeBlanc

(both I would be equally satisfied )

B&B:

Don't feel anyone deserves it from there.

LEADING ACTRESS: (Tough)

Y&R:

Michelle Stafford

Sharon Case

Melody Thomas Scott

B&B:

Katherine Kelly Lang (I mean, is she EVER getting the chance to do something like this again?)

OLTL:

Catherine Hickland

Kathy Brier (she plays Marcie, right?)

ATWT:

Maura West

SUPPORTING ACTOR:

Y&R:

Kristoff St. John (Drucilla's death)

B&B:

Winsor Harmon (Darla's death Anniversary/addiction)

GH for writing & directing but not for Drama Series? I don't think Watkins stands a chance b/c he's hardly been on this year & the supporting categories are always competitive. Hickland is not a lock- her story just began in September, so I'll wait and see. How old is MC Egan? She may be too old for Younger Actress. AMC for directing? I think it'll be GH, ATWT, GL, Y&R & OLTL.

I agree with this entire post.

Alicia has been phenomenal this year. She has been amazing in years past as well but this she has been phenomenal. Thorsten has also been amazing this year also, but to me the stand out on AMC this year is Alicia, by far.

Sorry but Bobbie is just not lead material in my book. She just is not my cup of tea. JMO.
