Krezip, “Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime”

^^^ Sounds like you weren’t alone. I suspect I was one of only four other people who voted this year.

Laura Wright (for Lead Actress) should be included in the 2-19 through 2-20 citations for GH. So glad Carly was written into these scenes. Laura is phenomenal here; just a wonderful acting showcase for her.

If forced to choose just one favorite character on DAYS (very tough, as I have many!), it’d likely be Brady Black. No matter what the circumstances, he remains loyal to his family and tries to act on their needs first. And when he loves, he loves hard. I also admire how bravely Brady (portrayed by the ridiculously-talented Eric Martsolf) faced and…[Read more]

Just last year, I was very surprised when Eric Braeden was overlooked for a nomination. His complex portrayal of Victor in the aftermath of having suffered a stroke, emoting mainly through the use of his eyes and giving non-verbal cues, was phenomenal and conveyed with so much realism.

Joshua Morrow (who I feel is the most underrated actor on…[Read more]

A.R. Rahman, “Oscar Sangamam”

When Vanessa Williams was nominated for “Save the Best for Last”, the Best Contemporary (or Pop, as it would later become known) Album category had still not been reinstated (after it was first presented in 1968 and discontinued shortly thereafter; it reemerged in 1995). So I find it crazy that in 1993, Vanessa was contending for Best Female Pop…[Read more]

Congrats to J.Lo and Shakira who both slayed it on that stage! Definitely the best Superbowl Half-time Show in quite a while. And most of all, loved J.Lo’s message of unity.

It’ll no doubt be a tough act to follow for next year’s performer(s). P!nk, Taylor or perhaps Post Malone do seem like the most logical next picks. Of course, I’m totally…[Read more]

Congrats to Y&R on its WGA win! The writing on all four shows was really strong last year, and with B&B’s shocking snub (still baffling – and which hopefully the Emmys will redeem with a win – as it deserved the award for so intricately crafting what was undoubtedly daytime’s best story of 2019), I could have seen it go to any of the three…[Read more]

I can’t believe it’s been close to seven years since Casey Moss’ start on DAYS! I knew he was a keeper from the moment he first appeared on-screen; there was just that special something about him. Needless to say, we’ve been blessed with his talents ever since. I shall miss most anytime he’s scene-partner to Kate Mansi; the two work so believably…[Read more]

Anne Dudley, “Resurgam” from Poldark

Doing away with SOTY might not be such a bad idea, but I think only if ROTY is updated with some sort of addendum that includes awarding not only the performer but songwriter as well (the two components that the general layperson would instinctively associate as going hand in hand in the making of a “record”). I’m sure the majority of voters has…[Read more]

Sad news. It’s so strange, because I was thinking about her just the other day as I recalled the time she temporarily (and so seamlessly) stepped in for Louise Sorel as Vivian back in the early 90’s, and did such a fantastic job. Of course, I too will most fondly remember her in her iconic role as Alexandra Spaulding on Guiding Light. Any scenes…[Read more]

DAYS officially renewed! Congrats!

I’ll try to keep it positive, though I will say that I don’t think I’ll ever understand the appeal of “Bad Guy”, nor what could’ve possessed the entire voting body to make such a bland, forgettable song their go-to choice for not only ROTY but SOTY (when God knows, there were better alternatives). The only saving grace was Lizzo’s Pop Solo…[Read more]

There’s been at least one tie in the acting categories every consecutive year since 2015. This year, not a single tie. Hmmm… coincidence?

Victor most likely paid off the doctor to keep quiet about the baby switch. I’m sure the exact details of his scheme must at some point be revealed.

DAYS airs from noon to 1 p.m. where I live (Delaware Valley) and on Tuesday, news coverage of the Senate hearings scheduled for 1 p.m. began about a half-hour early, so the second half of DAYS did…[Read more]

Cait Fairbanks, “With Me”

I think what really hurt Mariah’s AOTY chances is that Caution was released so early in the eligibility cycle that it was more or less an afterthought for most voters when ballots were sent out. So the fact that it didn’t make the lineup wasn’t all too surprising.
But that it and its gorgeous ballad “With You” also missed out from contention in…[Read more]

I like your idea, Sean, which perhaps would be more feasible if the Goldies had more participants, but EmmyLoser does make a very valid point about the first-round votes possibly being skewed. I can’t speak for everyone here who voted, but I know firsthand when filling out my ballot that those performers who I estimated had longshot chances of…[Read more]
