Kirsten Storms is so much better than half the people on that list.

In my world the Daytime Emmy Award is pure bull..
Too many great performers are left out and too many bad judgments are made from the ”opinions” of a few which some perhaps are not even soap fans..
I would be OK with dumping the Daytime Emmy Awards..
But- they seem to be a money maker so doubt they be flushed..

((I feel the choices of actors nominated is a bit insulting to some great actors who were not recognized for their great performances)

like I said- it is all bull ..

Did Roger Howarth not submit for his work as Todd on OLTL? I found his nuanced work there so much more compelling than the mostly campy OTT work he’s done on GH. Surprised he would ignore the superb work he did in his icionic role in favor of the Franco theatrics.

OLTL’s Jerry ver Dorn & F lorenca , Kassie were cheated along with tuc No surprise you guys /gals ROCK So who made Pre moms let me guess Most of the cast from BB/ GH one from AMC and maybe 1/2 from YR and Days

Very disappointed that Kirsten Storms was snubbed. She had a great year with the not so surrogate pregnancy storyline! Can’t imagine how her performance wouldn’t measure up to the other actresses submissions. I am thrilled that Kelly Sullivan was pre-nominated, she was absolutely robbed last year! She should have won Lead Actress by a landslide.

I agree in large part with the comments above!! Based on pre nominations it would seem to me that perhaps actor should have appeared on a show for a period of six months in order to be considered. There are many actors leaving and trading shows: which is fine but in my mind that cuts down on the body of work that can be viewed. Yes: they put an Emmy reel together which must have quality material but that seems to have negated the work by those who have had quality and quantity of work. I have a problem with someone who had six great episodes and gets nominated over someone who had 70, carried the show in large part, and is ignored because somehow their small Emmy reel failed to prove them as the greater talent!!! Seems like a crap shoot: meanwhile why didn’t Jacqueline Macinness Wood (B and B) get a nod over the actress playing Aly or the actor playing Wyatt? I mean no disrespect but?? And Rodger Howarth portrayal of Todd Manning way more depth than the Franco characature!!

Kirsten Storms is a glaring omission IMO!

I was shocked Kirsten Storms didn’t make the list. She was amazing last year.

Both Katheen Gati and Kirsten Storms were, without question, robbed.

Award shows are rarely satisfying…imo…i hardly ever watch them anymore…i just check out the winners list the next day like i do for the Academy Awards…do any of the daytime voters actually watch soaps or just the clips summited to them?

Yes little Miss Brookyln absolulty belongs on this list and quite frankly she is one of the best of daytime no matter what her age. Anyone seeing her running towards Robin crying mommy! Or just her daily everyday stuff. She little super star and keeps growing in skill each year!! Just adore her. Hope they never feel the need to SORAS that character I be so upset.

Very disappointed to hear Kirsten and Kathleen were dropped!!! They both had very strong performances and are very talented!

Brooklyn is such a talented little girl…leaps and bounds over anyone in any of the soaps as well!! Roger Howarth is talented no matter what role he plays and you have to love his own spin to every character…he’s FUN to watch.

Kirsten not making that list is crazy…

On a side note, Don Diamont, Dollar Bill, is not a diss…. I don’t think he really delivered anything worth mentioning… playing an arrogant billionaire, he’s one dimensional lately…compare his work to that of Jason Thompson( Patrick of GH) and you get my drift! Jason was fabulous this year and continues to touch his audience! That’s Emmy worthy!

We do have to put the Gati situation in perspective. I agree she is an awesome comedic actress, but we all know that comedy is rarely rewarded at the Emmys. And these are called Daytime “DRAMAS” after all…let us not forget that. It is like that uptight Frau from the Austin Powers movies…that actress is brilliant and hilarious at playing that character, but she would never win an Oscar for it. Obrecht is campy, and over the top and bordering on cartoonish. And thats another problem…this show has so many whack jobs, criminals, and nut cases running around town (Obrecht, Faison, Heather, Victor, Ava, Sonny, Julian, Sean, Ric, etc etc) that they’re all just tripping over each other and getting lost in the shuffle. They all play variations on the same scene. Over and over and over and over again. The show’s lack of pre-noms should be a bit telling. Good comedic acting can and has been rewarded by Emmy in the past, but the writing also gave these performers real substance as characters and they werent just funny or comic relief all the time…I think of Rena Sofer, Justin Deas, and Leann Hunley just to name three.

Roger Howarth, Kathleen Gati and Kristen Alderson should only be nominated for an award if they’re submitting a reel from the Cartoon Network.
I can see them now, trying to escape from being hit by an anvil thrown at them by Wily E. Coyote.
You can get more honestly dramatic acting from Porky and Petunia Pig.
Tha….tha…that’s ALL, folks!

I agree with you about Kathleen Gati (Dr. Obrecht)–her performances have been outstanding the last year.

Off-topic but reading through the lists brings me to a sad realization: is anyone else depressed that we’ll never again see Jeanne Cooper, Susan Flannery, or Erika Slezak nominated for an Emmy? 🙁

Why the hell is Cynthia watros pre nominated! Tatyana Ali had a better year

How can Jerry Ver Dorn not be nominated? How can Corbin Blue get a nomination? He was cute and all, but no acting range was shown. I think that very few from OLTL and AMC were nominated because the actors on the other network shows refused to vote for them. They only vote for the ones on their own network in a desperate attempt for job security. That is a mistake. We all know that soaps can be cancelled at any time. Someday they may be successful online. It is a mistake for the industry to ignore the online soap attempts of TOLN. I don’t think that I will be watching the emmys (if they are even televised). Last year’s attempt was pathetic. Who wants to see someone from a cooking show interview emmy winners? Anyway, most of the nominations show us that winning a daytime emmy is now a joke. It does not have the credibility that it had in the past. I am still in shock that “Starr” from OLTL/GH won an emmy last year.

“… and, the Emmy goes to: ”

Kathleen Gatti, GH
Kirsten Storms, GH

Lauren Koslow, Days
Jenn Lily, Days
John Aniston, Days

these are my picks for unbelievable…. bereft. aghast… mind numbing… dumb me down

they did it again…

they just don’t listen… mindless behavior.

I love these people

I hope Kimberly McCullough advances to the nominations list. She’s a wonderful actress.

Michael Easton (Silas Clay GH) should be nominated. He’s one of the best actors on GH. Disappointed he was nominated. He has been giving stellar performances all year! Love him as Silas Clay.

Absolutely agree about Dr. Obrecht (Ms. Gati) on General Hospital! I love when she is on-air! I love how she delivers her one-liners, always insults to Anna. She cracks me up. A great actress and find for sure!
