Ah yes, Scotty McCreery. I had forgotten how close he came to being the youngest winner (that goes for Lauren Alaina too, had she won that same year).

Can we just take a moment and give a huge round of applause to Ari Zucker, who has been phenomenal these last couple weeks. I love how DAYS brought her back just in time for May sweeps, and it seems like everyone in the cast has stepped up their game. If what the ending to Friday’s show is alluding to, does turn out to be true, then I agree it’s a…[Read more]

^^^ Thx Freeman, your post reminded me that I’d neglected to also include a directing citation. How great is it that Gary Tomlin hasn’t just been writing on GH but frequently been flexing his muscles too as part of the directing team?! He did a really nice job with the smooth flow and overall tone of the episode.

How wonderful that Eva La Rue is returning to daytime! And you’re not alone, linecelts. I’ve also been very much enjoying the various relationships stemming from the Rosales clan. Josh Griffith did a really admirable job during his head-writing tenure at DAYS not too long ago, highlighting the Hernandez family and bringing on board most notably A…[Read more]

Rebecca Budig returning to the show is fantastic news! I wonder if Hayden will somehow be connected to the character of Willow or perhaps even Shiloh (though it seems like the Dawn of Day cult storyline could be wrapping up in the next couple weeks).

Thanks vinny for clarifying, and congrats to both you and Tyler on your perfect scores last week! It’s kind of amazing that Jordin Sparks has been able to hold on to that record title for all these years. Congrats to her! It could very well go down on Sunday the way you have it outlined in your predix. I’m still placing my bets on Madison as I…[Read more]

Still on cloud 9 that Jacqueline won! She had a phenomenal year with so much challenging material to play, and wholeheartedly deserved to take home the trophy. I love how utterly surprised she was when her name was called, and was practically beaming on stage (plus, all of my Logan girls looked absolutely stunning!)

Even though Kyler Pettis…[Read more]

Nice to see Alejandro finally step it up in his performances this past week. I can’t shake the feeling that we’re in for a shocking elimination tonight, with either Wade or Laci (or perhaps even both) making it to the finale; then again, this season has been packed with so much insane talent (enough to satisfy two seasons!) that it seems like…[Read more]

I noticed that too! The stylish design with the wax seal makes for a really nice touch! Kudos to NATAS for going the extra mile this year!

Y&R completes the Trifecta!!! Huge congrats!!! After dominating the Creative Arts Emmys, I took that to mean they likely wouldn’t take home the big prize. What another historic Emmys!!!

And yes, great job, linecelts, for calling that Lead Actress upset!

JACQUELINE MACINNES WOOD!!!!!!!!! SHE DID IT!!!! HALLELUJAH!!!!! I’M CRYING SO MANY HAPPY TEARS RIGHT NOW!!!! THRILLED BEYOND WORDS!!!!!

THANK YOU EMMY GODS!!!! BEST.EMMYS.EVER!!!!

I can’t believe it’s already been twenty years since Lucci’s milestone win! Time sure does fly. Thanks for the trip down memory lane, DS! Loved the nominee clips! Even for someone (I was a student in high school back then) who wasn’t nearly as attuned to the Daytime Emmy Awards as I am now, seeing Lucci finally receive her trophy to the jubilation…[Read more]

Congrats to Y&R and The Talk on all their much-deserved Creative Arts wins! Thrilled that DAYS won for best music composition/direction and the team from B&B for best original song (the latter in part makes up for B&B‘s inexplicable snub of a music composition/direction nomination).

Here, my gutsy final predix! Especially for categories like…[Read more]

Love love love Heather Tom’s submission choices. The scene that Daniel describes as being part of the middle section of the reel, where Katie testifies at the custody hearing, is a wonderful acting showcase for Heather, so full of subtle emotion. It was taken from the episode that aired on 10/1/18 (in which the prosecution and the defense give…[Read more]

James Morrison, “You Make It Real”

^^ Loved the “11:11” reference that came up during Oscar and Joss’s conversation while on the bridge. Special kudos to the writing team!

************************

So many fantastic performances across the board from the last couple weeks worth citing, but for now…

Outstanding Drama…[Read more]

Thank you Tom for looking into the matter on our behalf and relaying the message from NATAS President Sharp! The reasons given in his letter as to why reels cannot be released this year certainly sound very plausible, and I’m glad he took the time to clarify the issue to all who were concerned.
