Didn't Kathryn Foster direct those? It's funny, though Y&R USED to dominate the directing award at the Emmy's (specifically when Heather Hill lead the direction team), they were never very lucky with getting nominated for the Director's Guild Awards....

I believe Kathy has one DGA for Y&R, out of only TWO nominations. :o

Remy is the security guard at the mysterious location, until he discovers it’s a lab funded by Alan. Cassie and Lizzie try to break through the door, as Alan and Beth enter the elevator with Coop right behind them. Cassie accidentally breaks open the bottle with the memory gas in it, as Cyrus and Ava walk in, they begin to cough and sink to the ground. As the gas comes through the vent, Lizzie and Remy collapse against each other, and Alan, Beth and Coop slump to the floor. Cyrus is pleased to wake up with the women in his arms, but nobody can remember who they are. Lizzie, who has woken up in Remy’s arms, can’t remember a thing, and believe they must be a couple that was just about to have sex. Alan, Beth and Coop also try to piece it all together and decide that Alan is Beth’s father, and Coop is the father of Beth’s baby. Feisty Ava and Cassie began to fight over a very happy Cyrus. Cassie and Cyrus are about to make love, when Ava barges in with a photo of Josh – proving that Cassie’s already engaged. As the ladies begin to brawl, Lizzie and Remy begin to have sex.

Ohhhhhhhh - that AMC episode was GOOD. That episode made me cry! The main reason was the scene where Kendall and Spike are wheeled past each other, each on their way to surgery. Talk about amazing drama - and raw emotion! Between the directing of that scene and Kendall's scream - I was in TEARS.

AMC totally deserves a nomination. It was very well directed.

And THAT'S why, as much as it doesn't deserve it, I guarantee you there are Emmys in AMC's future. That week was heart-stopping, and brilliantly written, acted and directed. Whatever happened before or after, those are the two episodes AMC needed to definitely score at least a nomination, if not a win.
