All of our Experts expect him to break that tie this year as he claims a record seventh Best Actor award. So strong is the support for Geary, that he has odds of just 4 to 9 to prevail again on his 14th nomination.
In second place is Darnell Williams, who won this award with his only previous bid in 1985 for his role as Jesse Hubbard on "All My Children." He had previously claimed the supporting Daytime Emmy in 1983 as part of the first African American supercouple on daytime TV. His character came back from the dead in 2008, remaining on the ABC sudser till it left the air last fall. He has has odds of 13 to 2.
Geary's co-star Maurice Benard won this race in 2003 on the second of his five bids for playing Sonny Corinthos. He has odds of 16 to 1 to repeat.
