November 29, 200718 yr Member Yes, the Emmy process has reverted back to the old system. Now it's based on popular vote. Now shows like Y&R, GH, ATWT, and AMC will bloc vote like hell by cast and get the most nominations. Lots of popular actors were snubbed by the old system. For example, Beverlee McKinsey was considered a shoe-in for a nomination and win for her last year on GL, but she was sadly never nominated for her GL work.
November 29, 200718 yr Member Days' lack of much Emmy recognition under the old system could've happened for a number of reasons. Maybe the Days cast was never unified to bloc vote. For example, Y&R and GH used to have day players, recurring actors, and contract actors vote, and they would end up with the most votes and nominations and wins. Also, let's not kid ourselves, Ken Corday has the most horrible reputation of any soap owner/producer in the business. That has to hurt Days when it coms to recognition from the industry and its peers.
November 29, 200718 yr Member FYI, Marlena is always fairly loud during the broadcasts, but everyone else drops down a few decibels.
November 29, 200718 yr Administrator Yes! My database got a mention! Way to plug it, Ryan. And I loved the joke about Jim Reilly writing for Y&R. LOL
November 29, 200718 yr Member I think that is more wishful thinking than a rumor. That she's not submitting her name? Minus for 2004, she hasen't done it since 1995 and before that not since the 80s.
December 1, 200718 yr Author Member Due to technical difficulties, ITZ will not air tonight. I'm having problems with my phone. There will be a new show on Monday. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
December 1, 200718 yr Member Aww, damn, I've become addicted to it. I'd love it if you'd discuss your ideas for John's return on DAYS and how you feel about Marlena possibly taking on Stefano [in a fight she wants to lead to his death].

December 6, 200718 yr Member Oh Ry-Ry, I wanted to remind you that the actual Daytime Emmy's aren't going back to the old system based on popular vote. The academy is keeping the new system, they're just upping the numbers of pre-noms in every acting category to 3. However, in order for each show to select the 3 actors for every acting category, the voters have to be a performer, director or Emmy eligible producer and be a registered judge. If you don't register to be a judge by January 7, you can't participate in this process. That's all.
