No one has ever won posthumously, at least among the actors. The only posthumous nomination I remember is Rosalind Cash (Mary Mae, GH) off the top of my mind. Most of these people passed long after they left daytime.

Just odd to see some of those names like Anne Heche, KSJ, and Billy Miller. Benjamin Hendrickson still breaks my heart almost 20 years later.
