Members dragonflies Posted April 28, 2023 Members Share Posted April 28, 2023 @Errol I know, I'm just irritated they changed them at all. so who f*cked up, the show? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted April 28, 2023 Members Share Posted April 28, 2023 What a weird message. She calls it a "huge misunderstanding" when the age rules are clear. She also says SHE'S rescinding her nomination, when that just isn't true. The nomination was pulled from her. I'm not trying to pile on, but that cringe message doesn't help her. I do also fault those in charge for not catching the age error before any voting took place for nominations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted April 28, 2023 Members Share Posted April 28, 2023 Why can't they just give the nomination to whoever came in 5th? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted April 28, 2023 Members Share Posted April 28, 2023 So from my understanding from the article Victoria was already 21 in 2021 and is at least 23 now? That's not an easy thing to get confused for the younger actor submission. She's at least several years too old. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted April 28, 2023 Members Share Posted April 28, 2023 Given these nominees, I don’t understand why they have a Younger performer category. Actors below the age of 21 haven’t been valued on soaps for years. Just get rid of the category entirely and let the best young actors (like NAC) compete with the adults. That said, what a mess. I agree. Don’t they have some sort of verification process for these nominees? A photo ID or birth certificate? Lol. There couldn’t be more than 10 actors eligible, so I can’t imagine it would that daunting a process to confirm ages. Unless there’s some fraud involved… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chrisml Posted April 28, 2023 Members Share Posted April 28, 2023 I'm so out of the loop I thought the younger performer category was still capped at 25. So odd not to have 21 be the cutoff. Why change it? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted April 28, 2023 Members Share Posted April 28, 2023 I was getting the impression perhaps VG or her people were lying about her age? I have no idea, but it's difficult to find her age online and her IMDB (I know-it's the internet) has projects listed for her as far back as 2003. My apologies to Victoria if this was all a misunderstanding, but it does seem a bit suspect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted April 28, 2023 Members Share Posted April 28, 2023 Yeah don't they have someone to "vet" this kind of stuff. I find it hard to believe this just slipped through the "cracks" until just now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted April 28, 2023 Members Share Posted April 28, 2023 I still don't understand why the rules were changed in the first place. Things were just fine the way that they were 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted April 28, 2023 Members Share Posted April 28, 2023 Yeah, I am not trying to be mean or create a scandal over this. I like VG/Wendy just fine, but you would think in a category that had age limits there would be a place to fill out your birthdate and it would have to match an ID at some point. I have no idea how the whole process works really, but pretty much everything you have to fill out in life asks for your birthdate lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members carolineg Posted April 29, 2023 Members Share Posted April 29, 2023 Aren't they though? I don't think it was anything sinister. I just think maybe VG is older than the casting call for Wendy, she or her agent lied about her age, she got the job and no one cared, but then someone submitted her for the emmy in the "age" she said she was, and then she randomly got nominated and it got found out. It's not an uncommon thing to do in Hollywood, but multiple people just bungled the process along the way and I don't expect the actual actress to know the evolving daytime emmy rules for this category. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
