Daytime Emmy Awards 2020

I'm glad to see the ladies of The Talk, still dressed up like it was a regular awards show.

Nah, I'll read about it later

Tamara Braun just got the Ellen Parker Memorial award.

LOL R3

Bryton James just won Supporting Actor, somehow.

The Emmys became a shitshow long, long ago.

How far in advance did the winners know, so they would be home to accept the award?

I'm enjoying this format. It is perfect for all non music award shows.

All the nominees taped acceptance speeches without knowing if they’d won, R7.

It certainly moves along at a faster pace. I don’t know how they’re going to fill three hours.

Looks like this show has been pretaped and the winner all knew they won ahead of time

It's lacking the usual trashy dresses and stupidity in the speeches.

R10 It is only scheduled for two hours.

Is Susan Lucci still trying for an Emmy? Is Susan Lucci still alive?

R14 yes, Susan Lucci has just signed a deal to do four Hallmark movies

Younger Performer in a Drama goes to Olivia Rose Keegan of DAYS.

Olivia Rose Keegan has some good looking brothers and father.

I'm being petty, but I am thrilled Eden McCoy's one note, mini-Carly didn't win.

If an actor stays on a show long enough, they'll win.

It's almost as if they take turns winning each year

Ellen just won.

Best Cunt?

r21

She wins that award daily

and I thought that every nominee did a speech just in case

They did, R23.

Marie Osmond looks gorgeous.

R17 Do they have bug eyes, too?

R16 Perfect timing for Olivia. She gets back on the show after a year and gets an Emmy.

Judge Milan just beat Judge Judy. Byrd, you in danger, gurl.

Judge Marilyn is 59, and looks 20 years younger (except around her neck and hands, which don't lie).

What is wrong with Eve? I just noticed that her eyes look like a stroke victim, one eye looks lower than the other.

GH gets the Directing Emmy.

From what I read, all the nominees had to record acceptance speeches. Then they play the one's who won when the award is announced.

R16 And she’s terrible.

Eve looked OK on The Talk yesterday.

This format isn’t as bad as I thought it would be.

[quote] From what I read, all the nominees had to record acceptance speeches.

Imagine if Deidre Hall was nominated. her acceptance speech would be longer than Susan Lucci's in 1999!

This is what the Emmys should do in September.

This is far more entertaining than any awards show has been in a while.

It's moving at a good clip. I don't miss watching award winners getting up from their seats and making their way up the aisle to the stage.

Kelly Clarkson, Emmy Winner!

Has anyone ever watched The Bay?

If we could still watch them live at home, waiting to see their name be called, and then give the 30 second speech, that would make this even better.

Loved seeing the clip of Al Freeman, Jr. winning for OLTL in 1979!

B&B for "best" writing

Congratulations to Kelly Clarkson! Her show is a hit and now she’s snatching trophies. She don’t need no man!!

Have they done Guest Actor yet?

Ron should have won the writing award for the time jump. At least he's trying new things.

Days is not doing too well with Ron at the helm. The ratings are shitty even where there is *no* competition during the pandemic!

Al Freeman Jr. was great. OLTL was fantastic back then.

I can’t believe B&B won for writing! Hilarious!

The little guy who played Douglas on B&B should have won best young performer. He was extraordinary this past year, usually running rings around his adult scene partners.

Jackie Wood is a beautiful girl, but she needs to lay off the filler.

Maurice Benard is letting himself go.

Jesus, Maurice Benard can't even pretend to care about presenting.

And this is literally taking place while 77 Trans Women of Color have violently been murdered in the last hour. Y'all are literally killing us!

Lead Actor Jason Thompson, Y&R. Jon Lindstrom was robbed again.

Holy shit. Heather Tom?

Why were Wood and Bernard together? It made me physically uncomfortable.

Lead Actress Heather Tom, B&B

Maura West must be drinking from a box at this point.

Jon Lindstrom robbed again.

Are Jacqueline and Mo neighbors? Only reason I can think of they would be together.

[quote] Maura West must be drinking from a box at this point.

She has three Emmys on her shelf

With this win, her 6th, Heather Tom ties Erika Slezak for the most wins by a Daytime actress ever.

Unreal.

The Heather Tom and B&B writing awards are baffling

That man and woman sitting next to each other on a couch to announce Best Soap Actor: are they a couple? Are they quarantined together? Or did they break quarantine for this awards show?

Days didn't win much this year. At least the actors are saved from the trouble of dressing up and attending a long boring ceremony.

Heather Tom didn't even have her own storyline this year. Her tape was chastising Flo for lying during the Beth saga.

R61 That is crazy I don't hate Heather Tom, but she should not be tied with ES.

Yay for Fred Rogers. A true original.

Is Sharon Osborne sick?

r64 No they are not a couple, not even on the same show.

What happened to Guest Appearance, did I miss it? Did MEK win?

Outstanding Drama is.............................................................Y&R

Overall I didn't agree with some winners, but I'm a fan of this format. They made it classy, fun, and entertaining.

I did like the format and I expect the ladies of The Talk to suck but they didn't, they did a good job.

At the end they said - "Winners are only known at the final editing stage"

So this whole program was edited and packaged a few days ago.

R75 Which I am fine with.

Tom is so greedy when it comes to the Emmys. It’s a joke she was in the lead category when shes hardly ever on but it’s the bullshit Emmy rules that allow this. Granted it’s been seven years since she’s won, but when you win 5 times previously it seems like 55 times. Her head and her ego just get larger the older she gets.

[quote] Granted it’s been seven years since she’s won,

Really it has been that long ago?

Marie O looked fantastic

R71 I walked out of the room for a few minutes, so I don't know when it aired but according to the Daytime Emmy Twitter account Eve LaRue won for Y&R. Surprisingly it is her first Daytime Emmy award, she should have won at least a supporting one for Maria on AMC.

Eva LaRue won Guest Performance

Thanks r81

that is great about Eva LaRue - she deserves it. A slew of ex-AMC actors will start tweeting out congrats

In lieu of the red carpet event, they should now broadcast all the losing nominees' acceptance speeches that won't be used. Sharon Osborne said they'd pre-taped something like 80.

Happy for Jason. Is it a first for three different actors to win for the same role?

Eva La Rue acceptance speech - she thanks the entire daytime community across all networks for their condolences on the passing of John Callahan

Heather Tom is talented, but it's insane that she won for this year.

R19 Tell that to Katherine Kelly Lang

Tom is a great cryer on screen. She does depression and crying well and the panels that vote always gravitate towards that. I thought West would pull it off, but frankly was underwhelmed by that clip they showed as part of her reel. Tom didn’t have much competition I believe now. Lang has played the biggest, most annoying whore ever on a daytime soap for over thirty years. I don’t think she will ever win.

R85, yes. Yes, it is.

R89 = Stephanie Forrester

Granted, Heather didn't have a LOT last year, but they gave her the kidney story. Katie thought she was going to die, said goodbye to her kid, dealt with her mortality.

She's been on soaps for 30 years and commits in a way that very few do.

She makes it about the work - not the publicity and the photo shoots and all the other stuff.

Annika should have put herself in lead, but Heather still would have won. I wish Susan Hayes had won for Supporting. She nailed that story last year. (Or two years ago, taping wise.)

this is crazy; the awards have been over for an hour on the east coast and they're an hour into it on the west coast and less than 100 replies?

how times have changed.

R92 yeah I think Tom has a certain standing in the soap world. She’s branched out to directing, even though it’s the crap fest Dynasty. When given a storyline that requires Katie to suffer yet again, she knows how to give it her best.

They've also honored Heather over the years for her bravery in publicly suffering from Pinched Sphincter Syndrome.

OK, Heather. Congrats on the win. You've proven you can act. You've proved you can deliver the goods. Over and over again. Now step aside and let someone else win.

Maurice Benard and Jacqueline MacInnes Woods presenting together really bothers me.

First off, they don't live in the same household. So, for them to present, they forgot about social distancing and sat on the couch together.

Second, for them to pretape that opening of the envelope means they knew who the Best Actor winner was BEFORE anyone else. That means, they could have easily called up Jason Thompson in advance to give him a heads up.

The whole point of an awards show is for the winner to discover he's won at the same time as everyone else does. Don't care if Jason Thompson pretaped his acceptance speech. He should not be allowed to learn in advance that he's won. And yes, the Emmy show likely asked them not to reveal the winner, but the soap world is very small. I sincerely doubt Mo and Jacquie could have kept that news to themselves.

If you're awarding someone for Most Boring Performance, then Bryton James certain deserves the award.

R97 Everything was pre-taped. Everyone had to record speeches as well.

r99 Yes, that was obvious everything was pretaped. Yes, I know every nominee prerecorded acceptance speeches.

My point was that Maurice Benard and Jacquie Woods had information about who the winner of Best Actor was in advance of the airing of the show. That goes against the spirit of an awards show.

Someone not directly connected to the winner should have pretaped the bit announcing the winner. Emmy producers should have planned this out better to make sure people announcing the winner of the category weren't connected to the nominees.

Kelsey Grammer wasn't going to tell Heather Tom in advance she won Best Actress. Those two have no connection (that we know of).

On the other hand, Maurince Benard worked with Jason Thompson for 10 years at GH. Jacquie Woods works on B&B which tapes at CBS Television City in studios right beside Y&R's studios where Jason now works. Thus, they both have a direct connection to Jason and were much more likely to have told him that he won in advance. Or whispered it to other soap friends who could have told Jason.

If Steve Burton had been the winner of Best Actor instead of Jason Thompson, do you think that Maurice Benard could have taped a bit on Wednesday which announced his close friend and coworker Steve Burton was the winner and kept his mouth shut until the ceremony aired on Friday night?

LOL. I highly doubt either one of them told Jason he won.

I was rooting for James Patrick Stuart.

R100 I don’t think it really matters IF the winners knew somewhat in advance. Everything is off the table this year as far as normality goes. Everyone kept it to themselves because they knew there would be hell to pay if it got out before the telecast. I’m really unsure why they had to shoehorn Kelsey Grammer in there when he’s associated with prime time primarily. The Bernard and Wood thing was a little awkward. It would’ve made more sense for Bernard to give out actress and Wood actor separately.

you know they could have recorded saying every name and edited in the correct one just like they did with the winners

Benard and Wood are obviously having a hot and sexy affair, and they INSISTED they present together.

Afterwards, they fucked on that couch.

[quote]you know they could have recorded saying every name and edited in the correct one just like they did with the winners

That's a good point. Let's hope that's what they did.

r104; I bet that they did that.

That is what they did, r104. The presenters had to record themselves announcing each nominee as the winner.

R98 I agree with that. I watched Y&R last year and Devon was such a boring sad sack for the whole 2019!

[quote] This is crazy; the awards have been over for an hour on the east coast and they're an hour into it on the west coast and less than 100 replies?

By the time the first hour ended, it may have been past a lot viewers bedtime, or they decided to watch a rerun of 20/20.

I will be winning Outstanding Lead Actress next year for my portrayal of Katherine Shepherd Reynolds Chancellor Thurston Sterling Murphy on Y&R, the number one daytime drama for over three decades.

I heart the ladies of The Talk!

The 2021 Awards are on now, on CBS!

[quote]They've also honored Heather over the years for her bravery in publicly suffering from Pinched Sphincter Syndrome.

I love that telethon. I still cry when I remember Glenn Close singing "Everybody Hurts" on the '17 show.

Marla Adams won!

this year's show didn't even get its own thread

it's nice that they honored Marguerite Ray (ex-Mamie, Y&R), but the photo they used was of Veronica Redd (ex-Mamie, Y&R)

OOps.

First time in forty years the lead actor and actress winners are identical for another year. First time ever three out of the four acting winners are the same in another year.

Alex' Trebek's kids accept his Emmy.

r118 is dumber than dylan at SON

Moron vetsoapfan still holds a grudge about dropping “the” from Guiding Light. Now he is bitching and moaning about people who have been dead for 30 years wanting to make his TGL into Texas. Get a life!

Larry King's sons also accepted his award on Friday night. They are pretty hot but I can't find the clip to post.

Larry's son Chance

this is so pathetic that TWO daytime emmys in a row have earned only 124 responses.

They didn’t even bother to play the theme songs of winners’s shows and the lighting was godawful. It wasn’t even live.
