Sorry but I’d rather see someone more deserving, like Erika Slezak,
Christina,I agree with you,she has been at the same soap for 40 years and this guy gets it for what?Talk shows and hanging out with barbara walters for 25 years are they serious about this?Im sorry but who ever is in charge of the life time achievement award is a idiot.I never even heard of this dude before shouldnt the person that is getting this award be well known?Not just a guy who does everything behind the scenes,this is a disgrace ,I cant even comment any further .
That award should be going to Ms. Agnes Nixon for creating two scripted dramas, All My Children and One Life To Live, that both lasted more than 40 years on air!!!
Thats a very good Idea.
Agnes Nixon received the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2010 at the 37th Daytime Emmy’s…..no one probably remembers, because that was one of the years that the show was aired on The CW or something like that, and it was in Vegas (when they did such a horrible job producing the Emmy’s).
So does that mean Barbara and the other women on the View will finally attend a Daytime Emmy ceremony again :/ ?
this bill gettie is such an arogant idiot. he makes a drink and two women standing next to him, takes the drink and drinks it himself. where did you gorew up you rude idiot. dont like to watch that program.
