Webmaster Errol Posted February 1 Webmaster Share Posted February 1 NATAS Announces Changes For Daytime Emmys, Including Elimination Of Outstanding Younger Performer Category It feels like it was only yesterday that the daytime community came together to celebrate the best of the best among dramas, talk shows, entertainment news and courtroom shows, among other daytime staples. Now comes word that beginning with “The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards,” several changes will be taking place, including the elimination of the Outstanding Younger Performer in a Daytime Drama Series category and the Outstanding Promotional Announcement category. Plus, there is a change for eligibility in the Daytime Program Host category. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmaster Errol Posted February 1 Webmaster Share Posted February 1 It wasn't any different than when Camryn Grimes won against her much older "younger actress" competition. As far as I know, the Daytime Emmys was the only major awards show to include a "younger performer" category. Its elimination is warranted for many reasons, but being the only awards program to include it is a big factor in why it shouldn't even be there. I've never understood why one's age should determine one's ability to be awarded for one's talents. It's ageist to a certain extent and flawed in general. As I said above, its elimination is warranted. When there were 10 shows on, it may have made sense, but with just four shows rotating nominees every year, it makes absolutely no sense. For instance, it got to a point where you could always predict the winner or the potential runner-up simply because the eligibility pool just wasn't there. Most actors on soaps right now are also 30 or older, so there is even more reason to remove the category that was determined by age requirements.

Members dragonflies Posted February 1 Author Members Share Posted February 1 Now the writers legitimately have no reason to write for the younger actor's Sorry Errol but this is beyond stupid. There is NO reason they can't fix the damn category. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmaster Errol Posted February 1 Webmaster Share Posted February 1 I'm just saying its need is unnecessary. But to your point, even though I disagree with having an age-limited category, they should have at least NEVER messed with the age parameters. What's not broken shouldn't be fixed, or tweaked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 1 Members Share Posted February 1 (edited) I'm glad its gone. The younger better actor never gets it anyways. And I don't want to see again two younger actors crying over not winning because of a 40 year old winner who should've been in supporting.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 2 Members Share Posted February 2 I'm totally uncomfortable with the idea of children competing against adults in the Big Acting categories. Me, I thought they should fix it by having a Child category & a Teen category, not dump it. So, I'm ... stunned. I'll live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 2 Members Share Posted February 2 They dumped the guest category for a time so I bet younger actor/Actress will return eventually 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
