Members Jonathan Posted March 4, 2012 Members Share Posted March 4, 2012 Me too, especially after Branco raved about her reel. I guess it's not really a reel, since it's only 2 minutes. Really folks, why just 2 minutes? It makes no sense. This step should've been eliminated and gone straight to nominations. Oh, and Jacob Young. I wonder what happened there.

Members juniorz1 Posted March 4, 2012 Members Share Posted March 4, 2012 No way- this is FAR better. The original system, when anyone could submit, NOBODY got to send out a 2 minute reel to get nominated. Then we went to PRE-NOMs and it got to the point that a LARGE percentage of the actors weren't watching all the reels. I guarantee, however, all of those 2 minute clips were watched. The nominees/pre-nominees are still going to get to submit a full episode in this round now- we're not just going off a 2 minute reel. Honestly, I think this was the best way to do it with the system change they made in the amount of pre-noms per show. Oh, and the SON Dream Ballot voting WILL COMMENCE TODAY! I'll have threads in both DTS and the Daytime Emmy section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cattykittens Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 I'm confused...So anyone couldn't submit themselves this time? What or Who or what determined if an actor could submit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angela Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 Yes, they eliminated the part where actors from each show had to submit themselves and then be nominated by the other actors on their own show to get an official pre-nomination (two actors per category per show unless there was a tie). This year, anybody who wanted to was allowed to put themself up for a nomination along with a two minute clip of their work and the actors across daytime voted on who ended up with the pre-nominations. So 10 actors from "All My Children" could have put themselves up for lead actor this year and it was possibly 5 of them could have ended up with a pre-nomination instead of 1 to 3 maximum. The pre-nominees will now get to put up full episodes of their work for the final nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 Nice to see Heather Tom in the lead category... Stephen Nichols - WTF!? At least this voting procedure spared us the annual company vote for CLB as "lead". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted March 5, 2012 Members Share Posted March 5, 2012 LMAO at Valerie Wildman submitting herself. Her work as a dead body at the bottom of the stairs was simply riveting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cattykittens Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 Ha! I thought the same thing. But if voting is based soley on a single epsiode maybe the fact that the character's been a failure doesn't matter. Or does it? I don't know, if I was a voter I'd take that into consideration anyway. Maybe I just remember the winners that have popular characters. Are there examples where the character is a flop yet the actor wins an Emmy?

Members Skin Posted March 12, 2012 Members Share Posted March 12, 2012 It's unfortunate that Alison Sweeney couldn't get a nom this year (or last). I think she had tons of potential stuff to submit in 2010 and 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members darraholic Posted March 13, 2012 Members Share Posted March 13, 2012 Alison has a tendancy to submit scenes when she's crying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
