The Daytime Emmy nominations were announced today. And if you're a fan of ABC soaps, you may be disappointed by some of the categories.
- There were no nominations for ABC soap actresses in the Outstanding Lead Actress category. All nominees were from CBS soaps. Very upsetting since I could think of quite a few actresses (especially from GH) who deserved to be nominated.
- In the Lead Actor category, only Anthony Geary of General Hospital was nominated from an ABC soap.
- At least ABC soaps got some love in the Outstanding Supporting Actress category. The are four ABC actresses nominated in that category : Genie Francis (Laura on GH), Rebecca Herbst (Elizabeth on GH), Renee Elise Goldsberry (Evangeline on OLTL) and Heather Tom (ex-Kelly Kramer on OLTL).
- In the Oustanding Supporting Actor category, Rick Hearst (Rick on GH) and Dan Gauthier (ex-Kevin Buchanan on OLTL) are our ABC nominees.
- In the Oustanding Younger Actress category, Julie Berman (Lulu on GH) and Leven Ramin (Lily on AMC) are our ABC nominees.
- One Life to Live is the only ABC soap nominated in the Outstanding Drama Series category.
What do you think of the Daytime Emmy nominees? Who do you think was snubbed?
