Administrator Toups Posted July 15, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted July 15, 2008 Yup she was there to accept the award. She's the 1st one on the left. Maybe we should crop her out of the photo? LOL It sure does. It's such a sneaky move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 Like THIS is the sneakiest stunt ever pulled off in daytime? SOOO not worth thinking twice about. I don't think we want to be "The Fans Who Took Back an Emmy" Although it does crack me up that Toups' archive... AND ONLY TOUPS' ARCHIVE... is the smoking gun. Well played. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 It could be though, that she went uncredited during the eligibility period. It has happened at All My Children during the years when Agnes Nixon was executive head writer and never credited (I believe when Lorraine Broderick was head writer), yet Agnes was able to take home an Emmy. There are shows on TV that don't list credits at all, like sports TV for example, yet of course there is a producer, director, etc. These shows compete for Emmys too.

Administrator Toups Posted July 15, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted July 15, 2008 It's certainly not, but I'm the one who's documenting all this information for the database and I like to be as accurate as possible. So I do have to think about it. When's there's conflicting information, it drives me nuts. Anna will hate me forever. Yeah, when I was about to add "Daytime Emmy WIN (2008; Best Writing; One Life to Live)" to Anna's profile, I was like, "Wait a minute, that doesn't make any sense."

Members brimike Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 Oh, I don't blame you at all! I basically agree. Just think we should let sleeping dogs lie. Not the kind of press SON wants. But yeah - you're definitely right. ETA: I am ALL FOR the SON awards. The "Sonemmys"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 Emmy's have been revoked before, usually because of voting irregularities that were later exposed. I remember hearing that one year in the 80's, Y&R won the Writing Emmy at the ceremony, but it was later revealed that GL (then headed by Pam Long) had actually won and Y&R had to give the Emmy back. It may not be the biggest scam in daytime, but it's unfair and there's a reason why there's rules for these things. Seeing Anna up there accepting that award just pisses me off and rubs me the wrong way, because Gary and Fran should be there too then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Kubla Khan Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 Why the feelings of guilt for possibly taking Ms. Cascio's Emmy away? She is well aware that she was apart of OLTL for a whopping three weeks during the eligibility period. I don't know what the hell she's thinking, accepting an Emmy and smiling on stage when she knows that she didn't do jack [!@#$%^&*] during the eligibility period. If she loses her Emmy, it would be deserved. You'd think her conscious would kick in: "Wait! Just a minute! I shouldn't be getting this!" but apparently it didn't as she was booking her trip to L.A., picking up her dress, and walking up on stage with the writers that actually worked during the year. (FYI: Something similar happened at the Primetime Emmy Awards. In 2000, Henry Winkler was nominated for an Emmy for a guest appearance on Battery Park. The ballot listed the appearance as airing in April, when it actually aired in June. The Academy found out, stripped his nomination, and awarded #6 vote-getter William H. Macy the fifth nomination slot). Anna went from ATWT straight to OLTL, so I doubt it. As the credited creator of AMC, Agnes didn't need to contracted in order to work on the show so she didn't tie herself down to one. But she was involved. Anna is in a different situation. She didn't walk to OLTL and say "Oh! I'll just write for a couple of months but you don't have to credit me!" LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 15, 2008 Author Administrator Share Posted July 15, 2008 I highly doubt Anna went uncredited. She went straight from ATWT to OLTL and there's no way she went uncredited for 2 months (for her to have at least %19 of episodes) at OLTL. The "Toupsies"?? LMAO!! kidding!! Wow, that's gotta hurt. I never knew that. Fran could've been there if she wanted to since she was on the ballot. Gary and Jeanne Ford were credited before Anna and yet they weren't on the ballot. It's such a scam!

Members Dan Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 1986. In 1992, Y&R finally won the Writing Emmy. When Bill Bell went up to accept the award, he quipped, "If the phone rings tomorrow, I'm not answering it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 Maybe she loved OLTL so much that she said, "Not only will I go uncredited, I will also work for free!" Her selflessness was then awarded with a beautiful Emmy statuette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 Okay. Well, was she on the ballot or was she just on stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GladGirl Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 Wordy McWord, Kubla Khan! Please, Jonathan, why are you defending her in the slightest? ATC deserves all the trouble in world I feel like calling NATAS now and dropping a dime... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted July 15, 2008 Members Share Posted July 15, 2008 Please do. If she should have an Emmy for this, then I say every actor changes his name to Anthony Geary next year in a bid to win an acting Emmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
