Vinessa Antoine, General HospitalTrying to guess the pre-nominations is challenging without knowing who submitted and in what category. But just for fun, I thought I would take a guess at the nominees… knowing that my guesses will be very, very off.
ReplyI can’t predict since I don’t know who has submitted.
I am surprised you think Lamon Archey will get a pre-nomination. I also don’t think Wally Kurth or Jon Lindstrom will get in. I think Steve Burton could get in if he submits for Y&R, since he left at the very beginning of 2017 and had some strong scenes for a competitive reel (I hope not but I am thinking it could happen).
I would be really surprised if we see Patrika Darbo, Courtney Hope, Vinessa Antoine and Judith Chapman on the list. I think if Alison Sweeney submits she will be nominated. I also think Eileen Davidson, if she chose to submit for Supporting Actress for Days, could get in.
There will be at least one category fraud Lead Actress pre-nominee. Don’t know who yet.
I will be upset if Steve Burton submits in Lead for GH and I will be really upset if he is nominated at all in either category!
I think John McCook will be pre-nommed in Lead Actor.
Who will be this year’s Jeffrey Vincent Parise, where I was shocked that they nominated him? Shocked he was even a pre-nominee.
I just hope Days gets more than usual pre-noms and more than usual actual nominations!
ReplyCopy URLFreeman, you make some good points. I have updated my predictions.

Vinessa Antoine, General HospitalI think Steve Burton will submit in Lead for GH because he is a Lead and has been ever since his return, even though it was late in the year.
I’m not sure that Wally Kurth or Jon Lindstrom will get in, but they are respected veterans in the industry. If not them, then who?

Greg Rikaart, Y&RI know I am way off base with this list (; Some of it is wishful thinking, esp. that Days will do better than usual. Some of these people won’t submit, I don’t think Bryan Datillo ever does, but his work was super strong.
There are people who I would love to see nominated, like Lauren Koslow, who I just don’t think it will happen but would love for it to happen.
Yes, I know I have 11 nominees but I couldn’t figure out who to take off the list. I am wrong anyway! (;
The list of pre-nominees is always a mixed bag of super strong candidates and absurd ones.
There is also always a few category fraud nominees in the lead category, such as Jess Walton, Tracey Bregman and Peggy McCay, and they are hard to predict without knowing who has submitted in which category.
ReplyCopy URLFreeman and robbalto, I think I like your lists better than the one I’ve put together, but here goes. I first tried to guess who would submit in lead and put anyone else I could think of as having a shot in supporting. Then I narrowed the list down to 10 (I stuck with 12 for supporting actress), following the rule to never leave fewer than four Y&R actors in any category (this was especially a stretch in supporting actor, but getting four Y&R guys still feels more like than getting four DAYS guys, even if they are deserving):

Steve Burton, Y&RGosh, I hope you are wrong, Emmyloser! (; Esp. in Best Actor!
You think Lauren Koslow and James Reynolds will submit in lead? I doubt it. Is there a reason you think they will?
Why do you both think Judith Chapman will be pre-nommed? I really don’t think that will happen. Is there something I missed?
Did I blink and miss why Obba Babatunde would be pre-nommed?
Maybe this will be the year they don’t over-nominate Y&R. One can hope! I really hope they come to their senses and give tons of Emmy love to Days this year.

Amelia HeinleFreeman, I also would love for your list to be right and mine to be wrong!! I’m just trying to guess what’s likely to happen based on what stands out to me from past years.
My feeling that James Reynolds may submit in lead comes from a couple of things. I remember reading in an interview he did a few years back that his goal is to win a lead actor Daytime Emmy. I remember thinking there was a superslim chance of that happening, since his character is generally on the backburner. I thought he had a good shot at jumping into the supporting race with the story of him working with Eli to set up Raines, but then Theo got shot. Sure, that was late in the year, but Abe was on almost every day after that, with a lot of meaty material to work with. Between that and his long tenure with the show, I could see it.
As for Lauren Koslow, that’s probably even less likely, but she has submitted and been prenominated in lead actress in the past. She had a lot of story last year, including helping Adrienne through the cancer stuff, lots of happenings with DiMera, trying to get Gabi and Chad together, and dealing with Lucas’s drinking, not to mention having a major stake in both of the show’s big end-of-year stories, Will being alive and Theo being shot. I’ve also noticed that, probably because they film so far in advance, the DAYS actors at times submit in categories that feel more consistent with stuff they filmed in the eligibility year than stuff that aired during the eligibility year. We’re only a couple of weeks into 2018, but I’d say Koslow’s been the female lead of the show so far this year.
I just remember Judith Chapman being fun to watch early in the year after Gloria slept with Jack and then threatening to expose him on Hillary and Mariah’s talk show and then blackmailed him for the job he was supposed to give her for helping try to get Lauren to sell Fenmore’s to Jabot.
With Obba Babatunde, I was thinking of the story with Nicole trying to take Lizzie away from Maya and Rick, and Julius having some grand speechifying during his kind of villainous supporting role in that. Obviously that wasn’t a whole lot, as the story wasn’t that great and didn’t last long, but he’s a popular name and seems like B&B’s strongest supporting actor candidate for the year to me.
ReplyCopy URL^my biggest surprise on your list that jumps out at me is Dominic Zamprogna; while anything is possible I just don’t remember him doing anything interesting in 2017.
I don’t know if Eric Braeden submits his name for consideration? Maura West did not submit last year but I would think she would this year.
I also think it’s interesting that you think Amelia Heinle will submit in Supporting Actress this year.
ReplyCopy URLIt’s impossible to predict. I can’t narrow lead and supporting actress down to just 10. Every time I try to make a prediction list, I end up with way too much DAYS & GH and not enough CBS.
Some possible shocks:
Genie Francis going lead.
Deidre Hall or Kelly Monaco frauding into supporting where they’d have a much better shot.
Jane Elliot’s name on the list. She has said many times she’ll never submit for the Emmys again but I really hope the show submitted her anyway.
NLG in supporting and Finola in lead. They always flip-flop so I wouldn’t be surprised if they aren’t in the categories we expect.
Eileen Davidson double pre-nommed in lead and supporting for Y&R and DAYS.
