It's that time of year- my favorite time- Daytime Emmy season! With the pre-nominations released, it's time for me to do my annual DREAM BALLOT. Here's a refresher on how this works: You may vote for 5 actors in each acting category- you are not predicting the nominees but rather, voting for the 5 you'd vote for if you were a member of the Academy. So bias/prejudice is totally allowed!!! HOWEVER, you must choose actors that are pre-nominated. In the Best Directing, Best Writing, and Best Drama Series categories, you may choose 4 nominees. Voting begins today and ends on Sunday, May 15th at midnight. The official SON Dream Ballot will be posted on Monday, May 16th, 2 days before the actual nominations come out. You may either post your ballot in this thread or send it to me via PM. Either way, on with the voting! Can't wait to see how this turns out this year. Here are this year's Pre-Noms:
