Members j swift Posted June 27, 2021 Members Share Posted June 27, 2021 (edited) https://www.thewrap.com/daytime-emmys-apologize-in-memoriam-mistake/ To be fair, the Oscars and Emmys annually screw up the in-memoriam segment, either leaving someone out or misspelling a name. It seems like an award show tradition. Edited June 27, 2021 by j swift 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted June 27, 2021 Members Share Posted June 27, 2021 I wonder if fan outrage convinced them to do this? I doubt they really care nonetheless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 27, 2021 Members Share Posted June 27, 2021 In our current times, mistaking one black actress for another is tone deaf and gross. I think fan outrage was the only reason they responded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ReddFoxx Posted June 27, 2021 Members Share Posted June 27, 2021 There definitely wouldn't have been a response if fans had not pointed out the mistake because the Emmys would not have ever realized the mistake. They probably just searched for Mamie on Y&R and selected the first picture they could find. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 27, 2021 Members Share Posted June 27, 2021 I'm kinda salty they didn't have John Callahan on there either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted June 28, 2021 Members Share Posted June 28, 2021 Callahan died last March. He was mentioned at the June Emmy ceremony. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted June 28, 2021 Members Share Posted June 28, 2021 That's always been a problem in ALL award shows... not just the Daytime Emmys. I feel like the audience was CGI, and applause was automated, because it felt like the same tracks were being used. Surely, being ON CBS, the network could've given them actual film footage of Ray's performance from The Young and the Restless, instead of going to Google, typing in "Marguerite Ray," and selecting one of the first images to pop up, which happens to be Victoria Redd. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 28, 2021 Members Share Posted June 28, 2021 Oh good, I didn't watch that one, but I'm glad 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchBug82 Posted June 28, 2021 Members Share Posted June 28, 2021 I mean... Adele Dazeem! And to be entirely fair - not that it makes it any better - mix-ups in In Memoriams segments happen all the time too. Which I would find a reason to be extra strict with the double-checking but there you have it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted June 29, 2021 Members Share Posted June 29, 2021 That was bad. Or even Victoria Rowell calling Cady (Kay-dee) McClain "Caddy." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liberty City Posted June 30, 2021 Members Share Posted June 30, 2021 Especially when her co-presenter immediately corrected her as the applause began. Haha. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
