So surprised Amelia and Hunter won for the second straight year. Hunter more so I guess. There were others who should have been recognized.

Yay for Freddie!

Did not like any of Tyra’s outfits. Also, most of the things they did did not work. Did not like the opening and then everyone saying ML’s name was not fun and had things go longer. He should just donate some money to charity, but I guess he wanted to be on everyone’s lips. The game to introduce Betty White was not good. Show us more clips, either of Betty or the nominees. Same with the Family Feud end. And Ms. J’s walk to the podium was not necessary. Didn’t see all of the fan vote results. And the giving away the vacuum cleaner–really? And the cruise–nice for those who won, but move on.

It was nice it was on TV and it wasn’t the worst award show I’ve seen, but it could have been better.

Congrats to Days for winning Best Drama. So surprised Y&R was the other winner. I thought it was going to be B&B. B&B won for best directing and writing so I guess it’s the acting that didn’t bring them the gold for best drama. (Just kidding.)

I guess if B&B and GH want to win Best Drama they need to have Eileen Davidson on their show.

Tessanne Chin did a good job. Wish I could have seen more of the clips. I think they did a nice job with the in memoriam. I liked the tribute to Days’ 50th.

I would prefer just to show clips of the nominees and give out the awards. I don’t need the game showy aspects, the rapping, the try to be cute opening, the Cinderella fan, fan audience…they didn’t work and would much rather have seen clips.

I did like the fan votes, but we didn’t see all the winners.

Didn’t like Tyra and her cohorts telling me about themselves and advertising their show. Don’t care. I won’t be watching. Give out the award.

Hope they improve things for next year. I think they can start with the host.

I live in Ontario, Canada and I couldn’t get the Daytime Emmys on any channel here. I don’t have access to POP on Rogers Cable. Is it available to watch online now? I also want to watch the Queens of Drama. What about fans in Canada? How can we watch?

Honestly the best daytime Emmys in 10 years. Tyra did a great job. It had a very young vibe to it. It wasn’t tacky like the Vegas ones were and it wasn’t boring like the HLN and stuffy. Loved the Betty White tribute, the Days tribute and Joan Rivers tribute. Coupled with great winners Maura and Tony winning was fabulous. A great emmys and it was the biggest ratings in pop in 8 yesrs. Hopefully we get many more years here.

Vote for no host next year, love seeing Tony & Genie together again..

I enjoyed it. Wish there was more time for nominee clips and the winners weren’t so rushed with the speeches. Looking forward to next year, hopefully with a new host.

General Hospital was robbed for best writing and best show. Camila Banus was robbed as well, and i thought Amlia Henle shouldnt have won supporting actress. Being on the Pop network which is owned by CBS it seemed to me everything slanted in CBSs direction. Even the video montages cut away when there were GH scenes.

POP did a great job in bringing back the telecast and restoring some dignity to it (which had been sorely lacking for a few years). I don’t understand why Betty White got a Lifetime Achievement Emmy when most of her notable work was in prime time. Where daytime is concerned, she was mostly a frequent guest on Password. And that should not have qualified her for this. The Cinderella bit was unnecessary, as was the Password skit. This type of telecast does not need silly fluff to be entertaining. I would have much preferred to see actual clips of performances and shows (they showed clips for Supporting Actor but none for any other acting awards???). The tribute to Joan Rivers was quite moving, especially with Melissa Rivers present. Joan should have received a posthumous Honorary Emmy instead of Betty White receiving a Lifetime Achievement. But overall, it was very well produced, especially compared to previous telecasts where we had to endure the winner’s couch interview or those two-hour commercials for Vegas!

Some winners-Hunter King-really?…lol…well, lets just say it was a 100% improvement over last years and im grateful its on tv again!!!

Overall, I thought the Daytime Emmy’s broadcast on POP was excellent! It brought back a high level of class & respect for the genre of Daytime television & those who make it that had been GROSSLY lacking in recent years! I thought the tributes were appropriate & well done, although I would have liked to have seen more of the footage of the iconic soap super-couples being shown on the big screens at the venue, vs. the singer singing “What I Did For Love” (although she did a nice job). I feel that the shows host, Tyra Banks was WAY out of her element & came across as very nervous throughout the whole show, but that the presenters did a great job, without being corny. Personally, I think Shemar Moore should be the host next year. His respect & admiration for Daytime Drama came across so genuinely. He’s articulate & appears cool, calm & comfortable on stage. The 2015 Daytime Emmy broadcast on POP gets a BIG thumbs up from me!

Disappointed for many reasons, not in any particular order. They did not annonce the names o Days actors on stage and did not show them all during 50th tribute.

Re: Best love scenes, camera stayed on fairly unknown singer from The Voice whose name most of us do not know. We missed the best most of the time! We want to see our soap peeps that was on the large screen and only audienve members could see.

Steve Harvey, usually cool, put down the audience at show’s beginning. At the finale, he called it the Daytime Grammy’s.

Was Tyra an appropriate host? Maybe for outrageous couture or as a daytime fan, but certainly not as recognizable daytime name. She was clearly there to promote her new show.

Sure was fun seeing Regis, Charo, Betty White. Touching tribute to Joan Rivers. Lovely winner speeches.

Bring back soap actor hosts and et’s have fun with them!

It was pretty good considering CBS ruled! Tyra wasn’t that great but she was better than Kathy Griffin!

All-in all, it was a good production that if on a budget, didn’t show it. While Tyra Banks is not my cup of tea, she did very well hosting the gig. A backstage host might have enhanced the production. The show got down to the awards and didn’t have a lot of fluff. Good job.

I expected to Fast Forward through most of it only to watch when the soap awards were given out but I have to say I thought it was a good show ! Tyra was a pretty good host although I thought she was screaming a bit too much & everyone looked awkward cause that mic was so low but overall a good show , very entertaining!

I wish I had POP. I definitely would have watched.

I admit I got goose-bumps and misty-eyed at the DOOL 50th tribute. CONGRATULATIONS DOOL AND ALL THE WINNERS OF THE 2015 DAYTIME EMMYS! Thanks for brining me a lifetime of entertainment!

I wish TPTB would bring Genie Francis back to GH. Hopefully for Tony Geary’s send-off.

I liked the ceremony a lot and am grateful that Daytime got some respect after years of disrespect from previous ceremonies. POP did a great job, and Tyra was okay. As for the winners/losers, some of the acting awards had me scratching my head, and as for the Best Drama award, what does it say when 2 out of 4 nominees (out of 4 remaining soaps) win? Is that really a victory for the two shows who took home the Emmy? I’m not so sure it is.

I liked the tribute to DOOL. I wish that there had been a similar, respectful tribute to AMC when it hit its 40th anniversary. Actually, I wish there had been a respectful tribute to AMC when it was cancelled, but the Emmys were produced badly back then. I didn’t appreciate the fake-out over a big announcement being made at the ceremony, which never actually happened. That was separate from the big tease about Tony Geary presenting with Genie Francis, which was released to the public before the event and which was nice to see, but it does bug me that the only time Luke and Laura fans will get to see TG and GF together is presenting at an event like this.

Overall it was a good production and I’m glad that the ratings were pretty good. I hope they can do it again next year.

I WOULD OF LOVED MORE RED CARPET WALKS AND WHO AND WHAT THEY WORE. I LOVE SHARON CASE AND WOULD OF LOVED TO OF SEEN HER 🙂

Overall it was very well done and a huge improvement over the past several years. BUT they showed the wrong clip for Lisa LoCicero and then stopped showing clips altogether. The Guest Actor In a Drama Series should have been presented on Sunday night, not at the Creative Arts Emmys which were untelevised. And there were too many silly time consuming game skits, the viewer audience nonsense and Tyra was too long winded about her defunct modeling show and her talk show to be.

All that used up precious time that could have been used to show the actor’s clips and allow the actors more time to say their thanks. I did appreciate the ‘In Memoriam’, but I wish the red carpet had been televised. Perhaps if the show had been three hours instead of two, the actor’s clips, Guest Actor, and red carpet could have been shown. There is still a lot of work to be done but I appreciate how greatly improved this year’s show was and that it was televised.

I thought it was a good show. Much better produced show than what we’ve seen in recent years. You could tell a lot of time and effort was spent on putting the show together

Overall the show was much better than when HLN ran it, Tyra Banks was so annoying and definitely not funny. If this was an indication of what her show will be like I predict another failure for this OLTL replacement. Susan Lucci or some other Soap icon should have hosted. I wish they showed clips from all the categories instead of just the Supporting Actor/Actress. Wtf was that Matt Lauer crap!

I miss it being on network TV but I am really glad they are at least still having it.

I thought the production was better than last year. Still in shock that YR beat GH for best show.

I do not have POP
nonetheless’
I did watch all the awards online through (can’t say but ‘clips) lol
As it was happening people were posting it online.. I did very well without POP..

POP is low level network with very low viewership..
POP is so bad that that some servers do not bother to carry it..

CBS brought the Emmy’s to POP to be in control, their network their way..
In hopes that POP would get millions of viewers and put that would put big dollars in the pocket of CBS and get viewers for their POP network..

CBS being in control would not allow the emmys to stream online therefor forcing people to call their satellite or cable providers to carry their stupid POP network..

The Emmy’s are one night a year and half hour of the soaps..
No need to beg a cable co. to carry POP that is crazy..
I feel CBS sucks for not streaming the awards online and for using soap fans to build up their POP network number

I really liked the Betty White lifetime award..
and- there were tears when Joan Rivers was shown..
Luke and Laura looked weird.. He looked like her father and it seemed forced..
Maura and Chad speeches were touching..

(I always wonder why Maurice is not being entered, he is phenomenal and should have a shelf of awards too..)

I was happy for the performers that their awards were telecast this time around. Any tribute to Betty White is worthwhile IMO. BUT…I didn’t like the director’s decision to focus on singers during the clip montages instead of on the clips, which is what the audience wants to see. We want to see the retrospective along with the audience. We don’t want to see repeated closeups of a singer’s back molars. Isn’t hearing them sing enough?

I have to say I was at first a little obnoxious in my review because I was trying to compare the daytime Emmy with the prime time Emmy and it’s not fair they’re totally two different beast, so after realizing that in my opinion it wasn’t that bad, although as enthusiastic as Tyra banks is, I’m not sure she was right for it, I found Steve Harvey who presented would’ve been a better choice. Beyond that their was a few things that stuck out like only the supporting actress category showed the actors acting reel, all the other acting categories didn’t, I was happy with all the wins for my fave show GH and glad all shows took home something although dool and YR tying makes no sense. Maura west winning was so much fun to watch, love seeing all the love she got from her co stars it’s nice knowing they care for each other. Maybe snobs like Ellen de generous Kelly ripa those morning news show will start showing up.

It was not a perfect presentation but it was good to have the program back on cable (still odd since most of daytime programming is still broadcast based).

I was not overly thrilled with Tyra Banks and her antics. I was disappointed the memoriam and romance montages were often lost to home viewers to feature the vocalists, talented as they were.

Glad DAYS had its anniversary moment.

The Betty White tribute was fun but stagey and… Charo?!?!?!

Loved seeing Melissa Rivers and touched that she quoted her mother’s regard for daytime as resurrecting her career after the Fox mess and her personal tragedies.

Would have liked more daytime packages between segments.

No one control the speeches but they overall were lacking in content.

Loved seeing Geary and Francis together.

Hoping for more improvement in 2016. Would be nice to see more daytime dramas in the lineup! I miss the days there were a dozen or so on the air.

Beggars cannot be choosers, it was nice to have it on TV again BUT I dont think it was in HD, the sound was horrible and why didnt they have mics that moved? I specifically remember when Chad Duell spoke the microphone was down near the middle of his chest! Tyra did okay. A little over the top and obnoxious but she looked like Johnny Carson out there compared to that thing they call Kathy Griffin! It would be nice to get it back on network TV, maybe even TV LAND? They should have had it there this year since Betty White has a show on that channel. And speaking of Miss Betty, I liked the tribute they did for her and the Password game was a cute idea. ALL in all, a nice effort compared to the last couple years. Oh, for 2016, I think Lynn Herring should host. She does a good job with the Nurses Ball and she knows the room.

WOW

LOL

THANKS for sharing thee DAYS of OUR Lives “WIN”

to see the “whole” cast all in one place… dressed to the nines… looking GLAM

LOVE IT

A very benign affair. Nothing horrible, but nothing outstanding. Instantly forgettable.

I thought it was an entertaining show. It had some moments I could have done without, but overalll it was so much better than last year’s debacle, the embarrassing Las Vegas infomerical shows from a couple years ago, and the ones that were on HLN where they played that cheesy elevator music instead of the theme music of each soap when the people would win their Emmys.

This was the first show in a number of years that actually felt more like the old Emmy Award shows from the past, when they were on the major networks. Kudos to all involved for producing an entertaining show.

The only change I would make would be to cut out some of the filler, and make time to show clips from all the nominees. They did it for the Supporting Actress category at the beginning of the show, and that was it. That’s what soap fans want to see and that’s who is watching the show.

JFP has always known what reels to pick the show is a mess now but nobody can deny that the scene between Adam & Billy done in 2014 Jan. That was why they won And yes you can think the actor that you have attempted to destroy by letting something that may or may not have happened become a circus.

So glad that the show was broadcast on tv (as opposed to either not at all or the internet again). That said, this show was a hot mess. Tyra Banks was dreadful. She was unintelligible in her opening rap. The rap itself was unnecessary and stupid. Why not have a host (calling Steve Harvey, Meredith Vierra, heck, I’ll settle for Big Bird) simply welcome everyone to the Emmys and show us a montage of highlights from the past year (soap highlights, funny game show answers, Barbara Walters last View broadcast, etc.)? Afterward, introduce the first set of presenters. The bits were unfunny, time-wasting and just plain odd (calling out Ellen/Matt Lauer, Miss Jay, montage of soap romances (close up of a singer and not the clips), game show set ups for segments (to honor Betty White, to close the show, etc), giving away vacuum cleaners and cruises (seriously?). Heck more time was spent on awarding 5 people cruises than on Betty White’s Lifetime Achievement Award. Telecast something that honors the medium and artistry of daytime and the fans who remain loyal.

IT WAS HORRIFIC!!! Tyra Banks continually flubbed her lines. Her wardrobe was awful. She tried being gangsta-throwing the mic on the floor. Then she acted trashy because she had to crawl across the floor to pick it back up. She told people to kiss her ass. She screamed into the mic as if no one could hear her. There was time set aside for her to shamelessly promote her new show which was totally inappropriate. Terrible, terrible host. Steve Harvey told the audience they “suck”! The venue was certainly below par. The winners were not given enough time to thank people & were cut off rudely. Time was given to stupid skits that should not have been. During the montage of significant moments, we couldn’t see them because they kept the camera on the singer, no idea who that was. The sound was horrible. Vacuum cleaner give-aways? Golden tickets as if we were watching the movie Willie Wonka. They need to save the alcohol for the after parties. Tired of watching award presenters and stars in the audience drunk and behaving badly. Other celebrities who were out to present awards talking endlessly about themselves. We were given no red carpet pre-show which is a must! Absolutely the worst award show I have ever seen. I had to suffer through it because the two people I wanted to see were Tony Geary and Genie Francis and they were the very last two.

Also, running over time almost immediately so they stopped showing the nominees clips. Very bad decision. Those inane time wasting skits should have been cut instead to save time & kept the clips in. Also, the mics that had people constantly bending over to talk into. Couldn’t afford an adjustable mic to accommodate varying heights?

I thought the show was tacky! It was the little things like the microphone not being adjusted to the right height, the delay with their voices vs their lips, Tyra’s horrible outfits, the game show “episodes”, the IN MEMORIUM should have focused completely on the ones who have passed and not the singer! There were alot of things that werent needed and alot that could have been added to make this show classier. Also, the heads of this show knew who won Best Drams and yet let Tony Geary and Genie Francis announce the “tie” and neither one being General Hospital who got Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor!! I really do hope the producers of this Emmy Award show will take some constructive critisism and do better next year!

Also, why didnt they show the clips from each actor that were nominated?? I know they submitted them, yet we only saw one clip throughout the entire show!

Enjoyed the show, particularly the tributes to Joan Rivers and Betty White (including Password Plus and Charo!). Also glad GH actors won so many awards.

What I did not like was Shemar Moore turning his best actress intro into a long speech about himself. Also, the stupid Matt Lauer and Ellen bit was pointless. And where was Ellen when her show won an Emmy?

I thought the show was a vast improvement over last years streaming & the HLN years. I hear the ratings were respectable too. Maybe they just might broadcast the red carpet next year to build on their success. One can hope. Tyra was ok but not my first choice for host. The CBS, Tyra & Divas promotion did border on shameless.

JFP hand picked Hunter King for the role of Summer so I knew she would win again even though I didn’t think she should have.

I thought it was great for the most part.
Didnt understand all of the constant references
to Matt Lauer, though. Did I miss something??

Just some random thoughts – I loved Amelia Heinle’s
dress! Loved seeing Genie Francis -been awhile!
Melissa Rivers – so sweet. Betty White – same!
Tyra – very, um, energetic, but not obnoxious.

Yes, that brand of vacuum cleaner is said to be fantastic,
but thought it to be an odd choice for a gift.

I am happy that after thinking POP wasn’t available
with my cable, learned it is, so I got to watch after all.

I only wish NATAS would have found a way to include Canada. I couldn’t watch any of the reels because the company they used cannot be seen outside of the States, they chose a cable channel that is not in Canada either. I missed out on most of the fun. Sure I read all about it and can see clips after the fact, but it isn’t the same as watching live, with popcorn in hand.

I realize our viewership doesn’t count in the ratings, but isn’t there money to be made by selling the rights for such a show in other countries?

Oh well, based on what I read and the clips I’ve seen it sounds like it was an okay affair- which I am glad because I think the hardworking men and woman of daytime deserve to have their day in the sun too. And I hardly congratulate all those whose work was honored either by the award itself or by by being nominated.

But in the end as I always say we are the real winners because we get to entertained by such talented men and woman in front and behind the scenes every weekday for almost the whole year. So although not American I definitely feel a part of your daytime drama “family”

A few mixed reviews here. That’s to be expected. But it sounds like it was a fun time for the most part. Just wish i could have seen it …but no POP in my region. And quite frankly, I’m not going to go through hopes to find clips of the show. Hope they get rid of that problem next year. I’m sure in would increase their viewership.

NBC and DAYS should have refused the use of Freddie Smith, Guy Wilson and Christopher Sean to push the CBS game show. Isn’t it enough to have Y&R characters/actors visit TPIR without dragging others into the self promoting pile of BS?!!!

Loved the tribute for Days of our lives 50th anniversary . Beyond thrilled and happy that Days of our lives got outstanding drama series in a tie with The Young and the restless . My massive disappointment goes to the ” in memoriam ” moment when tributes were made for those who had passed . It was beyond inexcusable that Justin Gocke who played Brandon Capwell on ” Santa Barbara ” , Carmen Zapata who played Cruz ‘s mother and Phyllis Freilich who so amazingly played the part of the deaf and mute nun in the 1988 ” Who killed Mark McCormick ” storyline also on ” Santa Barbara ” did not receive tributes. It ‘s a scandal and a disgrace . I hope the families are not too angered by this . Hope matters of this kind are handled more seriously in the future .

For the most part, I enjoyed the program. Tyra Banks had a few moments which I didn’t like. I’d much rather see Regis or someone who has actually had experience on daytime TV. The Betty White tribute was very nice. Fitting (although somewhat cheesy) for the Password game intro. When the montage of clips were on, I really wanted to see the clips — not the singer. All in all, I’m just glad the show was back on television.
