May 3, 201016 yr Member According to TV Guide: GL submitted their final episode One Life to Life submitted what TV Guide calls "an achingly awful riff on Grey Gardens" AMC submitted the "Who shot Stuart" episode Days submitted the "Death of baby Grace" episode Young and the Restless submitted episode where Colleen's heart is given to Victor As the World Turns submitted the Valentine's Day episode General Hospital submitted the episode with the car crash from the Winter Carnival Bold and the Beautiful submitted the episode with the death of Ann Edited May 3, 201016 yr by Zendall Fan
May 3, 201016 yr Member OLTL gets the stupidest submission award this year. Idiots. Good to see Days didn't make a mistake and go the "graduation" route again. I'd like to see ATWT win this year. Other nominees, GH and Days.
May 3, 201016 yr Member What was the OLTL episode? I've never seen Grey Gardens LOL First, you need to get off your ass and go watch the Grey Gardens documentary, and then, watch the TV Movie starring Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange. Second, the OLTL sequence was Blair dreaming that she'd become an old maid with Dorian. Nothing remotely Emmy worthy, IMO.
May 3, 201016 yr Member The worst part of that episode was that somehow the fantasy became all about Todd and Tea. Of those episodes I guess I would pick DAYS, or GL.
May 3, 201016 yr Author Member TV Guide says that GL should have submitted something with the "steaming hot lesbians" It says AMC's submission is "visually sylish but not strong enough(the ham acting doesn't help)" Me: nor does the horrid writing It calls the Death of Baby Grace episode "a stunning and cathartic sobfest" It calls ATWT's Valentine's episode a "dippy charmer" Their best bet is going to GH which puts other soaps to shame with its artistry and sophistication, and Bold and Beautiful, which it calls "Glorious profound work that might bring Betty White a supporting nod". The world knows she's a comedy legend. B&B knows she's one hell of a drama queen. Edited May 3, 201016 yr by Zendall Fan
May 3, 201016 yr Member Very solid Emmy bait from DAYS, B&B and GH. The rest...not so much. Totally agree! When I read the list, those three were the ones that jumped off the page as shoe-ins.
May 3, 201016 yr Member Their best best is going to GH which puts other soaps to shame with its artistry and sophistication Was that the stunt episode where Jason walked away dramatically and Edward ran his car into that godawful character Martha Byrne played? That's about as artistic as Gallagher. B&B's episode was such blatant Emmy bait and from what I saw of it I think it was a little too obvious in that respect.
May 3, 201016 yr Author Member Yeah that's the GH episode where Edward's car crashed into Martha Byrne's character
May 3, 201016 yr Member Yep. This is GH's award to win. They spent the most money, they have the most compelling reel of everyone on that list. I have to disagree with you Carl. In terms of what is achieved in daytime, it was very artistic. Looked great in HD, was mostly outdoors instead of in some ridiculous studio setting, and was beautifully directed by the team with various overhead/crane shots. That alone will seal the deal and get JFP back on that stage. I certainly hope JFP's picking out her Emmy Dress and writing that acceptance speech.
May 3, 201016 yr Member I certainly hope JFP's picking out her Emmy Dress and writing that acceptance speech. "I LOVE YOU COURTNEY PHELPS!" and "We produce one hour of stellar dramatic television 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.."
May 3, 201016 yr Member "I LOVE YOU COURTNEY PHELPS!" and "We produce one hour of stellar dramatic television 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year.." Too bad it's not 7 days a week. Frons needs to get on that, pronto. General Hospital WEEKENDS! Don't forget... " Well this was expected! " And a drunkass Michele Val Jean yelling "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

May 3, 201016 yr Member I can see All My Children getting a nom. Angela Tessinari directed that episode and it was pretty good. I'm not advocating the storyline, but it was pretty suspenseful.
