42nd Annual Daytime Emmys: What Did You Think Of The Telecast?

83
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.… Read more »
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?
It isn’t just Canada T. Many households here, in the US do not have POP.
Hope they find a better way to broadcast it next year. I’m sure their audience numbers would go up. I couldn’t get it either which was a disappointment.
I live in Ontario too. Unfortunately the only links that I have found to actually watch the show online (YouTube) require you to pay and use a credit card for validation. Not willing to do that. If anyone knows of any links that are free and aren’t geicoded to the US. I’d really like to watch the show.
My husband has family in Maple/Woodbridge, Ontario, respectively. We visit and speak to his cousins on a regular basis.
Said cousins were also complaining how disappointed they were for not being able to watch the telecast.
It just doesn’t make any sense.
I watched the telecast on Youtube.
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.
I agree! The best in years! The only thing that would make it better is if POP Channel broadcast in HD.
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.
Agree. They need 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.
Disappointed that when the montages were played on the big screens, the camera spent way too much time on the singers. I kept thinking I was missing stuff. And yes I agree about the CBS thing. I don’t remember seeing anything spectacular from Amelia Hienle. It should have gone to Lisa LoCicero from GH!
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… Read more »
Betty White was a pioneer in daytime television. She often anchored hours each day when TV was black and white and live. She was a frequent game show/talk show guest and hosted at least one game show (winning an Emmy for it). She did her memorable turn on THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL. And how many reruns of her on MARY TYLER MOORE and THE GOLDEN GIRLS have filled daytime hours? She was a face often seen on daytime and she is universally loved.
I too was glad the daytime community recognized Joan Rivers.
Betty White was a recurring guest star on Bold and the Beautiful. She played the character of Stephanie’s and Pam’s mother. Then her character died, I think of natural causes.
I think she also was a guest host on The View and other daytime shows. Not too sure though…
I can’t believe that I know this….. Betty was the first woman to host a daytime game show. It was in the late 70’s or early 80’s and called “Just Men.” Also, she spent a LOT of time appearing as a celebrity panelist on daytime game shows: Password (which her husband hosted) and Match Game. Betty may have done a LOT of work late in her career on night time television. However, given the longetivity of her career, it is easy to forget that she has worked in a LOT of different areas. Personally, I think the recognition was well… Read more »
What “Cinderella bit”?
Betty White deserved her award.
Enjoyed the tribute to Joan and seeing the clip from when she won an Emmy. I thought the whole in memoriam was nice, even if I didn’t know a lot of the people, it was nice to see.
Betty belonged on the show and deserved the award. What did Joan Rivers do for daytime?
Joan also had a daytime show called the Joan Rivers Show back in the late 1980’s-90’s. She won an award for that show in the early 90’s. I think that show was syndicated in daytime, whereas Fashion Police is a primetime show on E!
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… Read more »
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… Read more »
Tyra had a daytime show called the Tyra Banks show. It lasted 5 years and ended the same time Oprah ended. So I can see why she hosted the Daytime Awards.
Tyra’s a Daytime Emmy winner herself. 😀
The girl from the Voice did well. They are not getting Carrie Underwood for the Daytime Emmys!
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.
Tony Geary is not leaving the show. He has stated that.
Just read the awesome news that Genie Francis has signed on for a return to GH! Thanks FV! Welcome back Genie!
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… Read more »
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… Read more »
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!
The Matt Lauer stuff was so annoying. A better opening was needed. A lot of people are not invested in the ML-ED prank war, including me.
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… Read more »
su0000, you had me until MB…
I like POP. It allows me to watch B&B and Y&R in the evening.
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… Read more »
Genie Francis rocked she looked so beautiful.
Kelly monoco chocking/hugging Anthony Geary was funny, was she drunk?
Cbs soaps stars getting more applauses obviously rigged !
GH not winning, under FV and. RC regime, I know shows submit episodes and clearly RC/FV are not good at it. They could win next year if they submit this year 52 anniversary show, those two episodes were heartbreakers.
They submitted day one of the Nurses Ball, and the episode with the Ava/Nina baby drama and Michael confronting Sonny about killing AJ, and I think their mistake was not picking two dramatic episodes. Some people might find the Nurses Ball over the top and campy, but if they had submitted two dramatic episodes like Y&R did, I think they would have had a much better shot. Instead of the Nurses Ball, they should have submitted the “Hallowedding” episode. That was one of the best shows they did all year. I get that they picked two episoded that show the… Read more »
They stopped showing the clips of the nominees because right away they started running over in time. So, instead of nixing those ridiculous skits to save time, they chose badly to stop showing the nominee clips. Another bad production choice.
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… Read more »
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… Read more »
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
to see Stephen Nichols and Peter Reckell on stage
all that much more meaningful
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… Read more »
That is true, but-
The Emmy, the awards are for a great many shows and peoples not just for 4 soaps..
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.
That scene, the win for Y&R goes to Michael Muhney and Billy Miller, not the writers..
It was the two that brought those words on paper to life..
The truth is;
CONGRATULATIONS!! Michael Muhney and Billy Miller !!!
You bet, Su. I agree.
Methinks fanatic fans created the 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… Read more »
Yes, that rap was hideous and it was so short. I thought if you’re going to do it, make it worthwhile.
Just start the show, get rid of the skits, and show clips and give out awards.
Also, introduce the singer BEFORE they sing.
Giving away a vacuum was so strange. I thought it was a joke.
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… Read more »
Telling people to kiss her ass was a homage (for lack of a better word) to years ago when she was photographed in a bathing suit and called fat. On her talk show she spoke about this and told them to kiss her ass. That said, I don’t think it was appropriate to put it in this show. It happened years ago and not everyone knew the history.
Bambi, I couldnt agree with you more, Harvey and Banks are classless, tasteless and annoying. Why the hell cant they hire Regis to host? Julie Chen? Lynn Herring? Jack Wagner? Susan Lucci? Her and Regis would be great!
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?
Your on fire! Like I said, who cares about running overtime, its not on a network and they dont have to come in on time because of the news or another primetime show!
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… Read more »
I think re the In Memoriam segment, when they showed the singer they were not showing the cards of who died. That was my take.
Presenters don’t give out awards only to shows they’ve been on. The best drama award is the big one of the night so I think it is an honor to present it.
The singer was good but hindsight the should have just played an instrumental piece and shown the deceased like we all wanted.
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!
They were running out of time. They needed time for those inane game show skits and the giving away of vacuums.
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… Read more »
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… Read more »
I forgot Justin died. Wonder why they left him and others out.
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.
