Listen, congrats to all the winners, but this show totally blew! I heard more crickets than anythingelse. Was it too late to secure the rights to the shows’ themes so they could play as the show winner made their way to the stage? And what about that tribute to AMC and OLTL? Oh, that’s right, it was turned into a true Erica Kane segment where Susan Lucci gushed about herself. What was that all about? Why was Erika Slezak minimized to a few sentences and nothing mentioned about the vast contributions from the stars on these two shows? Where were… Read more »

Congrats GH, heres hoping for many more. The award show itself was not as impressive but considering everything thats been going on this past year with daytime in general, i’m glad the community was able to get together to celebrate, hope this will be a turn around for better things to come.

Very disappointed that Ericka Slezak didn’t win her 7th. Aside from that General hospital did great, I hope Abc/disney was paying attention to those emmys, next year they should win again because gh has gotten even better, It was nice that hln had the emmys however, I found it to be very, very boring, At least it wasn’t a 3 ringed circus, They only had 3 weeks to put it together so I will give them a break, I did like Oscars singing at the beginning, My biggest complaint is that awful, terrible, music they played while they were introducing… Read more »

The whole show was a joke. OLTL should not have been snubbed. How’s the Revolution working out for you ABC?

Ovreall, I was pleased with the presentation. Although I was disappointed that Erica Slezak and Bob Woods didn’t win in their categories. On the other hand, I am happy about GH being the big winner for the night. Kind of a slap in the face to ABC for as Tony Geary aptly put it, that this show was up for possible cancellation last year in favor of a reality “boob job gone bad” show. So, take THAT ABC! Congrats to Geary and all of the GH family! Considering the awards show was done on a shoestring and with very little… Read more »

My DVR cut out the last half hour of the show, thank you for the update!

The amc one life tribute was soo dissapointing why would they not show clips. And it is an absolute crime Erika sleaze did not win leading actress did heather Tom even aknowledge her fellow nominees

Sorry for spelling of slezak.

Great show congrats to all the winners, thank you HLN for airing it but, we were disappointed that OLTL and AMC were overlooked but, still very happy for GH and the other soap opera winners.

I am happy Gh won outstanding …………Now abc can see how popular GH is & leave it alone permantely………………………………………………….Hurray for Anthony Geary!!!! And Alexis…………..OLTL didn’t get not even one award!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That is really a bummer……………………………………For my favorite soap………………….

I met outstanding drama For GH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If not for OLTL.. I am glad GH WON !!!!!!!!!!OLTL will alway’s have a special place in my heart…………………….

REALLY wanted Crystal Chappell to win for Carly. I think it would have been a great moment for her since things did not go well over at Days and she worked her ass off over that drug storyline… even getting physically sick to perform well… but i know the Emmys usually go for stuff like “Lucky 7” and a feat of winning all Actress categories… even if CC didn’t win, i think Debbi should have. NO disrespect to Heather Tom, she is an amazing actress and does well on B&B but if it really came down to the acting and… Read more »

Erika Slezak got robbed!

Another victorious night for GH and another blow in the face of OLTL which is very sad given that it was OLTL’s last chance.

I wasn’t impress with the “tributes” for AMC and OLTL either. But I don’t think this surprise anyone given the lame “tributes” they gave to GL and ATWT the years before.

Congratulations to ALL Emmy winners. But especially to Heather Tom! The first actress who won a Younger Actress, Supporting Actress and Leading Actress Emmy. Heather made History Last night.

Ok I did not watch so their was no one to stand up & praise OLTL & AMC?? Why did RC&FV not discuss OLTL and could you not have had Agnes Nixon also to give a tribute?

What does it mean that Days of our Lives won best writing???? They just canned all of their writers and now have new ones?????

I glad that days of our lives won writing team (it was a shocker) and so glad chandler massey won younger actor and nancy lee grahn won supporting actress. I disappointed that amc and oltl did win a thing. Gh should not won almost every award ;I darnell deserve lead actor and matthew ashford deserve supporting. Well here hoping that it will be different next year.

“Truth is, I have an out of town commitment that I made prior to the announcement of Emmy Nominations that I must honor.”

So when GH’s Nancy Lee Grahn won and tweeted she was watching the broadcast in her pajamas, her prior commitment was a slumber party?

I don’t know what to say. What r ratings for? One Life To Lives ratings were higher than AMC, and way above GH. One Life To Live usually gets snubbed. For what reason who knows. We THE FANS liked OLTL best, yet it was still cancelled and snubbed at the Emmys. This is a joke at this point. I like Heather Tom too. But not to win against my leading lady of Llanview, Erika Slezak! Next to that would, and should have been Debbie Morgan. She rocked her child loss blind story. I shed many tears over that story. I’m… Read more »

Ps, the music sucked, but thanks HLN for doing your best and bringing the show to us fans.

I was surprised that we didn’t see any clips. That music they kept playing got on my nerves. Did they only have one tune? I didn’t like that people were up and walking around during the show. When Eric Braeden came out, it took forever for him to speak. One of the best parts was the alligator trying to eat the Emmy. Happy Chandler, Heather, and Days won. Was surprised Christel won. It wasn’t the best show, but I do think it was better than last year’s with their travelmercial. I also would have liked to have had a host.… Read more »

Wow! Thank goodness all you fans recognized what I did…that Susan Lucci gave herself fifteen minutes of time to talk about herself and then brought up Erica Slezac, the best soap actor of all time and slighted her and Erica even had to bend sideways to get to the mike. I was appalled. Who the hell does Lucci think she is ? And who gave her the power? Shady. doings! I was laughing when only one person applauded and Lucci toward that one person and said in her saccharine way…thank you…nobody cares ,Susan. Get over yourself…

Where do I begin? First off, I’ll start by saying that I’m glad that HLN was there to Air the show, however IT WAS AWAFUL. The entire production, from the horrible replayed music backround, to the repeated award nominations on computer ..uuuggh. But The worst……………………. Was the entire sham of a show, and the OBVIOUSLY slap in the face to OLTL. Next the Susan Lucci PC Thank you crap…??? WHAT WAS THAT EXACTLY??? Her speech on ERICA CANE?? And then for Cameran Mathesian, and Erika Slezak, to say What 4, 5 words??? OLTL was, and always will be the Best… Read more »

I do give the production company a break, being not on network, they may not have been allowed to show the clips or they could have been to expensive, but at least they showed the photos of the actors.

I am happy about all the GH wins, thought I would not have minded if AMC got the Best Daytime Drama award, and it would have been nice if Erica Slezak got her final award. But who know she might get a chance next year for the two week stint into the year!

I didn’t watch the show, but I am grateful that “Y & R” did not win any of the major awards (Best Drama Series, Best Writing Team). Perhaps this will be a wake-up call to CBS/SONY and with any luck, some behind-the-scenes housecleaning will come about sooner than later. “Y & R” is really getting to the point where I can barely watch it: the silly, plot-driven and plodding stories; one-note vapid characters created to push lame story while legacy characters are shoved into the background and the new characters are shoved at the viewer; an over-bloated cast full of… Read more »

CK from Y&R – REALLY????!!!!!!!!

I watched the clip “Susan Lucci salutes Erica Kane, canceled soaps” from the Daytime Emmys
http://www.hlntv.com/video/2012/06/23/susan-lucci-tribute-erica-kane-and-cancelled-soaps

There was NO tribute to OLTL other than the mere mention of its name, before which Lucci goes on and on about Erica Kane. OLTL deserved so much better than this. No clips, no mention of the other actors who had been on OLTL for decades. No nothing.

I feel sorry for anyone who has to be in the same room with Lucci, let alone work with her. Devious Maids is doomed.

Why was Cameron Matheson out there with Lucci and Slezak? It should’ve been the two leading ladies of the cancelled series introducing retrospective clips of our shows.

As for Slezak’s loss — I’m shocked. Heather Thom is a great actress but she didn’t have the material Slezak did. Of course, once I saw that had OLTL failed to garner Best Show or Best Writing nods, I knew it was yet another shut-out year for that great show.

This is why I didn’t even bother watching it. After 2 years of las vegas, the show no longer deserves my attention. Besides I can barely stand the Academy awards since they stopped awarding good movies and American films. Awards shows are clearly showing their stupidity lately.

I was so dissapointed… where was the Tribute(s)… for OLTL & AMC? No clips… for either show… and No clips… for the work of the nominees. was it a contractual, stipulation… from the ABC Network… perhaps… time constraints didn’t “permit” HLN approval… to air…. their work? Geez! let alone… i, had hoped, at the very least… pan the audience… so we can see our beloved Stars… take their turn. Who was in attendance… ? Gosh! prior shows… you’d see, the cast*s*… standing on their feet celebrating.. wins… and cheering on their peers. Best Actor – Anthony Geary – GH. I… Read more »

Bad as some of the show was, let’s just be glad it aired and hope that HLN will do a better job next year when they have more time to plan. I know that’s why the music was so bad and there were so few different presenters.

I was disappointed in many of the winners, but that’s the daytime Emmy’s for you. If you’re not an avid, long-time viewer of a show, of course you are disappointed if someone from that show won.
