The 38th Annual Daytime Emmy Pre-Nominations were just announced and several key daytime performers who turned out quality work were conspicuously missing from the final Pre-Nomination ballot.
So now that many soap pundits and fans are in a justified uproar, we throw this question out to you for in our poll of the week, “Who deserved a Daytime Emmy Pre-Nom, but didn’t get in?” Now remember this is based on those performers who were pre-selected on the first round ballot which was the pre-pre nominations! So only those performers were eligible in the first place to make it through to this round.
You can vote only for ONE candidate, so pick the one performer that you are most upset did not score a nomination. You can only vote ONCE from One IP Address. Votes will be tabulated and announced next week at On-Air On-Soaps. Voting ends and the poll closes at Midnight Monday Night, February 28th, Pacific Standard Time.
OK, let’s go to the polls! Cast your vote after the jump and then leave a comment on who you picked and why. We have also given you the OTHER option, if you feel someone else’s absence off the ballot upset you the most.
Crystal Chappell will always be ‘LEAD ACTRESS’ in my eyes…pick a show, any show…pick a scene, any scene!
…..and the Daytime Emmy goes to: CRYSTAL CHAPPELL!

Crystal Chappell should have been nominated she does not just play a scene she owns the scene.

Sharon Case has had the worst story. She has had to portray a character who is clearly nuts but appears normal. She was jipped

I mentioned earlier the HORROR that was the omission of Melody Thomas Scott, but I failed to recognize another complete MIND-BOGGLING omission: Stacy Haiduk on the Young and the Restless. Ms. Haiduk was absolutely RIVETING to watch as she seamlessly went from portraying the cool and collected Dr. Emily Peterson to the fury of a completely out-of-touch-with-reality Patty Williams. Melody and Stacy were definite VIP’s in my book and MVP’s in Genoa City in 2010. They have both won my personal award for best actress in a lead role!! Congratulations to you both on a fantastic job!! U are amazing!!
Guest
Moviegal
I think she hurt herself by submitting as Lead rather than Supporting. I think she would have definitely been Pre-Nommed in Supporting, and most likely made the final ballot, as well.
Guest

I am BEYOND pissed off that Dominic Zamprogna was not nominated. he is INCREDIBLE, SENSATIONAL and AUTHENTIC. what the hell is going on here?! The Emmy noms are a joke. DZ absolutely deserved to be nominated. this is heart breaking. I am crushed. But I see that the noms are all about politics and not TRUE talent…which is total BS. Dominic Zamprogna is KING!

He does not need the emmy he has us his loyal fans

Kimberly McCullough was the shocker for me. Being not nominated after the confession scenes in Aug. as well as the weeks after. Today’s scenes just proved the point.
But Congrats have to go out to JT for his nomination because he has been just as good this whole time as well

I agree this was one of kimberly best years of acting

KMc made me feel an entire range of authentic emotion this year, so she gets my vote. Is there ANYwhere where we can see their submission reels? Since nominations all depend on what they’ve chosen for their reel, it kind of sucks we can’t see them.

I feel Crystal Chappell’s return to DOOL breathed some life back into the show.Even though lately her storyline has stalled, she always made the most of what she was given. Also, I feel her presense has made other actors on the show bring their best, such as Molly Burnett and Nadia Bjorlin. I loved the chemistry between CC and Louise Sorel also.Thank you.
Guest
hope
Really? She and her story are BORING
Guest
Lisa
Her story being BORING is all on the writers at DOOL, but that says nothing about her skills as an actress. No matter what crap the story is, she graciously makes the best of it and puts on a great performance. Definitely the biggest snub on the list.
Guest
Michele
CC is at the top of her game. She definitely brings out the best in those that are in scenes with her. Days failure is to give her a storyline that highlights her talent. What do you expect when all they write are about clones, kidnapping, organ stealing and people attacking under the influence of sleeping pills….very realistic?! I agree she make the best out of the crap she is given. Hoping the new storyline is realistic and of some quality!
Guest
Craig
I thought the category was ” Best Actress”. What was Kelly Monaco nominated for? Her outstanding impression of an woman trying to wave a plane in for a landing? The woman does nothing but flail her arms, flip her hair and look for her lines posted on the ceiling. Worst actress on daytime.
Guest
Marj
OMG Craig, I was thinking the same thing,,,,,Amazing, can you say agenda, someone should tell whoever put her up “Best Actress” that the Emmy’s are a little bit bigger than DWTS……LOL
Guest
Caroleena
I have to agree. Though there may have been years with more substance to make a nod believable, I wouldn’t say 2010 stretched her chops at all. Maybe it’s because they the show has only 2 lead females that she got the nomination? Either way, I can’t say I’ve ever been impressed with KM’s performances except when she was a ‘bad’ girl. Rather liked her then and she kept her arms at her sides mostly.

Eric Braden and Melody Thomas Scott for Y&R. Them not making the cut was a surprise to me since they were so front and center in storylines. And Kimberly McCullough for General Hospital. I just started watching General Hospital because I caught some “Scrubs” scenes and was hooked.
Guest
Derrick
Agree about Eric Braden and Melody Thomas Scott!!!!!!
Guest
Jasmine
I think Eric Braden and Melody Thomas Scott should have been in pre-noms; however, MM as Adam, no way. He has been the downfall of Sharon Case and Y & R. This hated character needs to leave GC. Many have stopped watching because of this character.
Guest
Stephanie
I am torn on MM. As a character I am no fan of Adam, because this Adam and Sharon pairing makes me sick. But MM as an actor is another story. As an actor he plays the villian well and was a key player in the year’s biggest storylines (such as they were).
But out of everyone I still go with Eric Braden and Melody Thomas Scott. Both of them have given flawless performances and deserved to be recognized.
Guest
Jasmine
To me MM as an actor is nothing special. The villain he portrayed is beyond redemption and, in my. Opinion, has caused the show great harm. I don’t think MM’s portrayal was any better than the original actorEXCEPT, when MM took over, the blindness seems to come and go. Nothing against the actor, I just think he has been forced on the viewers, so he has been on a lot BUT his performance was nothing special.

I think Eric Martsolf should have been nominated, he’s a great actor and always gives 100% to whatever s/l he is given.He has totally made Brady Black his own 🙂

It is an absolute travesty that Dominic Zamprogna did not receive a pre-nomination for an Emmy. His performances all year were intense, emotional, riveting, dramatic; they were subtle, nuanced, quiet; they were funny; they were romantic; they were strong — in other words, he ACTED every day in every show — he gave 110% every time he was on screen. He has incredible chemstry with his love interest, but also with his other co-stars. I think the man could have chemistry with a tree he is so good. How he wasn’t nominated for just the Sonny shooting his son episode… Read more »

I must agree, for the Best Actress Female prenoms, hands down it should have been Laura Wright and Kimberly McCullough. Kim and Jason Thompson consistently gave stellar performances during the entire Fatal Attraction storyline. The clincher being when Patrick finally told Robin that he slept with Lisa. Those scenes alone should be what moves both actors to the final five of Best Actor and also on the reel for Best Writing. I don’t understand exactly how the Emmy process works but it sure seems messed up when an actress who never had a storyline that gave her a lead role… Read more »

DZ should have received a nod. Absolutely floored that he wasn’t recognized. Just goes to show that this is more of a popularity award, than one based on actual performance. Not trying to take away from the other actors pre-nominated in DZ’s category, but he DESERVED this pre-nomination based on last year’s phenomenal performance.

Kimberly McCullough was the one who broke my heart. She FINALLY had the material and made it work. I felt Robin’s pain as if I was cheated on. She was just amazing during the reveal and after. Even today she had me crying for Robin. She had the material and worked it beyond what it could be. I felt for Robin. Even non Scrub fans were complimenting her work and thought she had it sewn up and then nothing. This is just insulting as a viewer. The whole process. How can you pre nom when you never saw the work?… Read more »

Deeply shocked about Kimberly McCullough’s snub by the academy. The Daytime Emmy’s are a joke to me now and truly showed they have no concept of talent. No offense to Julie Marie Berman, but what did she do to top KMC’s performance? Nothing, she just happens to be a favorite.
Guest
Markus
I am very disappointed Susan Lucci was not nominated this year. She has a very difficult role; many people think it is her because she is Erica Kane but those in the know will recognize Lucci is not Erica Kane. Very different people which goes to her credibility as an actress. The writers could help Lucci but she has done some amazing work this past year with her daughters on the show and even her dealing with her mother who she misses. She is a very under rated actress.
Guest
imasoapfan
I agree, I think Susan Lucci did some truly moving work this year: Palmer’s death, her reunion with her friend/enemy Brooke, saying goodbye to Adam, missing her mother Mona, the campy “Dorothy” scenes, and her struggles to keep her daughters safe and happy.
Guest
Markus
Sadly, the soap opera genre tends to skew itself to the younger market. I’m in my thirties and admit Lucci looks great for any age. But they seem to give her more of a supporting role to her daughters often when she still has the “it” qualities. Lucci in my opinion is at a disadvantage – to the world she is Erica Kane and Erica Kane is over the top, out of this world with a bit of camp. Still if you look at Lucci’s performance they remain true to the character – multi faceted as we see but she… Read more »

LOL, Becky Herbst the “queen of the soaps” didnt even make the pre pre nom list.
For me I thought the biggest error was not including FL instead of GT. Second would be Kim in place of JMB. In the end, I hope the award for supporting goes to MCE, so theres part of me thats glad Kim didnt get selected as she would have been MCE’s biggest competition. Now she just has to get past NLG.

An actor is NOT eligible for a pre-nom if they didnt first make the list of individuals under consideration. I jokingly called that the pre pre nom list because thats really what it is. If becky wasnt on that list, then she wasnt going to make this list either, no matter HOW anyone FEELS about it. You can FEEL she should have made THAT list, but once she didnt, she no longer became eligible. Conversely both Kim and Florencia actually made that list of eligible actors but did not make the cut for an actual pre-nom. Dont blame me, I… Read more »

Hey Toy1975:
Thanks so much for your comments and your passion on the performances last year of Rebecca Herbst. Unfortunately, Rebecca also did not make it on the pre-pre nomination list. And, as I explained in the opening of the Snub Poll Post, The votes should be for those who made the first cut and then did not get to the Pre-Nom round. So just an FYI- Rebecca was not in the running from the beginning. Was not sure you were clear about that and how this poll is structured.
Hope that makese sense,
Best,
Michael

I cannot believe that Kimberly McCullough was snubbed. The confession scenes between her and JT were phenomenal, and I think they both deserved to be up for it (Congrats to JT!). I think it’s pretty clear that JMB is up there again simply because she’s on all the time, rather than her actual acting ability. Don’t get me wrong, she’s good – but her scenes were not nearly as powerful as Kimberly’s this year.
Guest
Cathy
KImberly is the biggest surprise. With everyone talking about her and the FA story and then she is snubbed is ridiculous.
It wasn’t just the reveal scenes with Kimberly it was even after that. Heck even now during Sonny and Brenda’s wedding. I am speechless.
Sorry but JMB didn’t have anything. I agree about her being on all the time and more noticable. Too bad it isn’t on talent first and then best talent.
So many top stars ignored tell me the process is OFF!

I cannot believe that Dominic Zamprogna was not nominated!! He has been outstanding ever since he first joined GH, and his work this past year, the reveal as Sonny’s son, his scenes with his mom following the reveal…they were just mezmerizing and intense and heartbreaking. Dominic is one of the finest actors on TV…and NOT just daytime TV. This goes down in my book as a biggest mistake the Emmys made this year. How can Julie Berman get a nom and not her leading man…freaking unbelievable!!!

No Dominic Zamprogna? Really? He must be the hardest working man in daytime. He gave amazing work every single day. To deliver the quality scenes that he did everyday is above and beyond. His scenes in the shooting with Maurice Bernard would easily solidify him a nomination. I started watching GH again because of Jonathan Jackson and stayed because of JJ and DZ. Those two and Lante and really the reason I have once again invested in the show. This is just plain crazy. This and the insane Y&R nominations are a huge reason that the Emmys need to rethink… Read more »

There were a few snubs this year that pissed me off. First of all, Kimberly McCullough. I was actually thinking about it, and while she is a supporting actress on the show, she probably would have been pre-nominated if she submitted as a lead. I have been trying to think about what Nancy Lee Grahn did last year and certain scenes did come to mind; Julie Marie Berman was harder to remember. I kind of had a feeling that JMB was a shoe-in because of her “Younger Actress” win last year. I would have loved to see a tie between… Read more »

Absolutely the one who got snubbed the most is Dominic Zamprogna. How can he not be a pre-nom when he gives 1,000% every day and has one amazing, stunning and captivating performance after another. There is no other actor on TV (daytime, night, etc) that puts that much emotion into every scene, he is so real. No other actor has given me smiles, brought me to tears, and given me so much to look forward every day watching GH. He is the winner in my heart and a winner every day.

Deeply saddened and truly shocked that DZ did not recieve a pre-nom. I really don’t understand that at all. I now have little faith in the emmy’s and believe Nancy Lee Grahn when she called them nothing but politics last year. It’s a shame. I thought the awards were designed to be given to those who deserve it, not to the people who can brown nose the best. And really, NLG is supporting? What universe am I in?

Guest

There is no “agenda” – because the soaps themselves no longer control the Pre-Nom voting process. Anybody can submit now, they don’t have to be submitted by the show. The in house voting only counts for a small part of the Pre-Nom process now. They started doing this last year to avoid on-set politics, cries of favoritism,and to refute the old “popularity contest” argument.
Guest

All I will say is please note which member of which fan base went to the personal (Kelly not Sam) and which fanbase didnt. Note which member of which fanbase went negative. All I said was that the some members of the Liz fanbase are jealous that DWTS gave Kelly national attention. BOO HOO sometimes thems the breaks.
Pride Month Celebrating LGBTQ+ Soap Supercouples: Nuke, Kish, Otalia & WilSon … Which Stands the Test of Time?
June 2, 2023
June is Pride Month, the time when across the U.S and the world there are celebrations and commemorations to recognize all who identify as LGBTQ and their allies.
Daytime soap operas have had a rocky road when it comes to the representation of same-sex couples. The soaps have been at one time leaders in portraying key social issues of our time, as well as treading lightly on other subjects, as to its concerns to ‘turn-off’ its core audiences.
When you look back at the groundbreaking first same-sex weddings, and the first gay kiss, the soaps have come far in some ways in their representations of gay characters, but there is always work to be done to serve and to shed light on the under-represented.
As we reflect back to the then and the now, which LGBTQ soap supercouple remains your favorite and had made a lasting impact? Let’s take a look at four duos who captivated many viewers.
Nuke – Luke Snyder and Noah Mayer – As the World Turns
Van Hansis (Luke) and Jake Silbermann (Noah) were a key part of the evolution of, and representation of LGBTQ character on the soaps. ‘Nuke’, as they were known as, became the first gay male soap couple to share an on-screen kiss back in 2007. ATWT also became known as the first soap to depict a fully realized romantic male couple as an integral part of the show. There was plenty of backlash along the way for the long-awaited kiss to happen, but when it did, the show moved forward to tell their love story.
When Crystal Chappell (Olivia) and Jessica Leccia (Natalia) began to play the love story of Otalia, they had to show their affection by a kiss on the head, or holding hands. It took quite some time for GL to move forward to have two women, two moms, no less, share a lip lock. The complicated love story featured Natalia being conflicted to face her true romantic feelings for Olivia, because of her value system and religions upbringing, and that made this all the more riveting and frustrating at the same time. In the end, the rabid fan base for this duo was so great that Chappell wound up creating her own series, Venice, to honor and serve them, remaining one of the LGBTQ communities greatest allies.
Kish – Kyle Lewis and Oliver Fish – One Life to Live
In 2009, One Life to Live’s Kyle Lewis (Brett Claywell) was an out lab tech in Llanview, who back in college had a relationship with Officer Oliver Fish (Scott Evans). It imploded when Oliver denied he was gay. For years, Oliver remained in the closet, before finally coming out to himself and Kyle.
Kish had been a big success with the media and One Life’s gay audience. LGBTQ-advocacy groups honored the couple and the story. However, Kish was cut short when the network felt that the data showed that the storyline was not resonating with the show’s core audience.
WilSon – Will Horton and Sonny Kiriakis – Days of our Lives
Days of our Lives delivered daytime’s first-ever gay male wedding in 2014, between Will (then played by Guy Wilson) and Sonny (then played by Freddie Smith).
In an interview with EW, Days of our Lives executive producer, Ken Corday shared on the union, “Will and Sonny have been together for a while and it was the natural progression of their love story. We didn’t feel like there was anything we could or couldn’t do, we treated them like any other couple on the canvas and continued to grow their romance as such.”
In addition, the coming out story of Will Horton was critically praised and noteworthy for the performances of Chandler Massey, who won three Daytime Emmys for his work in the Outstanding Younger Actor category 2012, 2013 and 2014. Freddie Smith also won in the same category in 2015. Will has been played over the years by Chandler Massey and Guy Wilson, while Sonny has been portrayed by Freddie Smith and Zach Tinker.
There have been several other key LGBTQ couples throughout the course of daytime history including All My Children’s Bianca (Eden Riegel) and Reese (Tamara Braun). These two characters were involved in the first same-sex lesbian wedding on daytime. Problem was … Reese kissed Zach (Thorsten Kaye) before the wedding, making this infuriating for viewers at home.
Other notable LGBTQ couples through the years have included: Bianca and Maggie on All My Children, Mariah and Tessa of The Young and the Restless played bv Camryn Grimes and Cait Fairbanks, Maya and Rick on The Bold and the Beautiful, Lucas and Brad on General Hospital and others.
Which couple do you think has had the most lasting impact on the history of LGBTQ representation on daytime soap operas? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
Selling Sunset star and soap alum, Chrishell Stause is married after one-year of dating to Australian-born musician, G Flip.
Stause, who formerly appeared on the soap operas; All My Children, Days of our Lives, and The Young and the Restless, took to her Instagram with a montage of photos sharing the news of her union with G Flip.
Photo: CStauseIG
The marriage was confirmed by Stause’s rep to PEOPLE. Chrishell’s post also was used to promote G Flip’s brand new single, “Be Your Man” with a look at their year together in photos. The single was written by G Flip about their relationship with Stause.
The real estate broker/reality star shared: “Love doesn’t always go as planned … Sometimes it’s immeasurably better. Be Your Man is out now & linked in stories. If you ever get the pleasure of meeting G, know that you are meeting one of the kindest, funniest & most talented hard working people out there. Please go stream! I love you so much @gflip ❤️🔥 #BeYourMan”
Previously, Chrishell was in a relationship for four years to Justin Hartley (ex-This Is Us, Y&R, Passions) before getting married. The two eventually tied the knot in 2017 and were divorced in 2019.

They are off to a good start! Former All My Children stars, real-life husband and wife, and now co-hosts of Live with Kelly and Mark, fared well in Mark Consuelos’ (ex-Mateo) debut week.
Consuelos took over from Ryan Seacrest in the co-host chair opposite Ripa (ex-Hayley) on April 17th. The couple’s debut-week landed them solid ratings, plus the syndicated morning series largest audience in three months.
According to Nielsen’s live+same-day data, Live with Kelly and Mark scored 2.4M viewers and a 1.7 Household rating.
Those stats make it the highest for both since the week of January 16. The pairing also scored well on Live’s year-over-year averages in both total viewers and in the key demo. Live with Kelly and Mark was up 6% in ratings and 8% in total viewers.
In addition, Kelly and Mark were shown the love in the New York City market. The premiere week brought with it Live‘s most-watched week in nearly three years. Formerly, May of 2020 was the biggest numbers for a NY state of mind audience.
So, how do you like Kelly and Mark together as co-hosts thus far on ‘Live’? Let us know in the comment section below.
Crystal Chappell will always be ‘LEAD ACTRESS’ in my eyes…pick a show, any show…pick a scene, any scene!
…..and the Daytime Emmy goes to: CRYSTAL CHAPPELL!
☮♡☺xo♥♀♀✩ツ♫
Crystal Chappell should have been nominated she does not just play a scene she owns the scene.
Her performance was exemplary!!!!
I THINK DANIEL GODDARD AND CHRISTEL KHALIL SHOULD HAVE BEEN PRE-NOM FOR THEIR ACTING ON Y&R
I am stunned that DZ was not nominated !!!! how can this happen !!!
I cannot believe it either he did some outstanding scenes
Sharon Case has had the worst story. She has had to portray a character who is clearly nuts but appears normal. She was jipped
I mentioned earlier the HORROR that was the omission of Melody Thomas Scott, but I failed to recognize another complete MIND-BOGGLING omission: Stacy Haiduk on the Young and the Restless. Ms. Haiduk was absolutely RIVETING to watch as she seamlessly went from portraying the cool and collected Dr. Emily Peterson to the fury of a completely out-of-touch-with-reality Patty Williams. Melody and Stacy were definite VIP’s in my book and MVP’s in Genoa City in 2010. They have both won my personal award for best actress in a lead role!! Congratulations to you both on a fantastic job!! U are amazing!!
I think she hurt herself by submitting as Lead rather than Supporting. I think she would have definitely been Pre-Nommed in Supporting, and most likely made the final ballot, as well.
I am BEYOND pissed off that Dominic Zamprogna was not nominated. he is INCREDIBLE, SENSATIONAL and AUTHENTIC. what the hell is going on here?! The Emmy noms are a joke. DZ absolutely deserved to be nominated. this is heart breaking. I am crushed. But I see that the noms are all about politics and not TRUE talent…which is total BS. Dominic Zamprogna is KING!
He does not need the emmy he has us his loyal fans
Kimberly McCullough was the shocker for me. Being not nominated after the confession scenes in Aug. as well as the weeks after. Today’s scenes just proved the point.
But Congrats have to go out to JT for his nomination because he has been just as good this whole time as well
I agree this was one of kimberly best years of acting
KMc made me feel an entire range of authentic emotion this year, so she gets my vote. Is there ANYwhere where we can see their submission reels? Since nominations all depend on what they’ve chosen for their reel, it kind of sucks we can’t see them.
I feel Crystal Chappell’s return to DOOL breathed some life back into the show.Even though lately her storyline has stalled, she always made the most of what she was given. Also, I feel her presense has made other actors on the show bring their best, such as Molly Burnett and Nadia Bjorlin. I loved the chemistry between CC and Louise Sorel also.Thank you.
Really? She and her story are BORING
Her story being BORING is all on the writers at DOOL, but that says nothing about her skills as an actress. No matter what crap the story is, she graciously makes the best of it and puts on a great performance. Definitely the biggest snub on the list.
CC is at the top of her game. She definitely brings out the best in those that are in scenes with her. Days failure is to give her a storyline that highlights her talent. What do you expect when all they write are about clones, kidnapping, organ stealing and people attacking under the influence of sleeping pills….very realistic?! I agree she make the best out of the crap she is given. Hoping the new storyline is realistic and of some quality!
I thought the category was ” Best Actress”. What was Kelly Monaco nominated for? Her outstanding impression of an woman trying to wave a plane in for a landing? The woman does nothing but flail her arms, flip her hair and look for her lines posted on the ceiling. Worst actress on daytime.
OMG Craig, I was thinking the same thing,,,,,Amazing, can you say agenda, someone should tell whoever put her up “Best Actress” that the Emmy’s are a little bit bigger than DWTS……LOL
I have to agree. Though there may have been years with more substance to make a nod believable, I wouldn’t say 2010 stretched her chops at all. Maybe it’s because they the show has only 2 lead females that she got the nomination? Either way, I can’t say I’ve ever been impressed with KM’s performances except when she was a ‘bad’ girl. Rather liked her then and she kept her arms at her sides mostly.
lmao! so very true!
I was shocked to find that Crystal Chappell didn’t move on to pre noms. Her work is phenomenal. Crystal reigns any actress on DOOL in my opinion. So disappointed!
DZ…hands down!!! It’s crazy!!
Eric Braden and Melody Thomas Scott for Y&R. Them not making the cut was a surprise to me since they were so front and center in storylines. And Kimberly McCullough for General Hospital. I just started watching General Hospital because I caught some “Scrubs” scenes and was hooked.
Agree about Eric Braden and Melody Thomas Scott!!!!!!
I think Eric Braden and Melody Thomas Scott should have been in pre-noms; however, MM as Adam, no way. He has been the downfall of Sharon Case and Y & R. This hated character needs to leave GC. Many have stopped watching because of this character.
I am torn on MM. As a character I am no fan of Adam, because this Adam and Sharon pairing makes me sick. But MM as an actor is another story. As an actor he plays the villian well and was a key player in the year’s biggest storylines (such as they were).
But out of everyone I still go with Eric Braden and Melody Thomas Scott. Both of them have given flawless performances and deserved to be recognized.
To me MM as an actor is nothing special. The villain he portrayed is beyond redemption and, in my. Opinion, has caused the show great harm. I don’t think MM’s portrayal was any better than the original actorEXCEPT, when MM took over, the blindness seems to come and go. Nothing against the actor, I just think he has been forced on the viewers, so he has been on a lot BUT his performance was nothing special.
I think Eric Martsolf should have been nominated, he’s a great actor and always gives 100% to whatever s/l he is given.He has totally made Brady Black his own 🙂
It is an absolute travesty that Dominic Zamprogna did not receive a pre-nomination for an Emmy. His performances all year were intense, emotional, riveting, dramatic; they were subtle, nuanced, quiet; they were funny; they were romantic; they were strong — in other words, he ACTED every day in every show — he gave 110% every time he was on screen. He has incredible chemstry with his love interest, but also with his other co-stars. I think the man could have chemistry with a tree he is so good. How he wasn’t nominated for just the Sonny shooting his son episode… Read more »
AMEN!
He is very talented he knows how to act with every emotion and he is very sexy
I can’t understand why he didn’t get nominated… ridiculous.
Witout a doubt MS,REBECCA HERBST That QUEEN of soaps!
???? HAHA
KMc has been great in this so called FA storyline–Her and JT are GH to me–they have amazing chemistry and they both deserve nods!!
I must agree, for the Best Actress Female prenoms, hands down it should have been Laura Wright and Kimberly McCullough. Kim and Jason Thompson consistently gave stellar performances during the entire Fatal Attraction storyline. The clincher being when Patrick finally told Robin that he slept with Lisa. Those scenes alone should be what moves both actors to the final five of Best Actor and also on the reel for Best Writing. I don’t understand exactly how the Emmy process works but it sure seems messed up when an actress who never had a storyline that gave her a lead role… Read more »
DZ should have received a nod. Absolutely floored that he wasn’t recognized. Just goes to show that this is more of a popularity award, than one based on actual performance. Not trying to take away from the other actors pre-nominated in DZ’s category, but he DESERVED this pre-nomination based on last year’s phenomenal performance.
I TOTALLY AGREE!
Dom does deserve the nomination he shined in all his performances.. I agree with Suzy Q and Martine….
Kimberly McCullough was the one who broke my heart. She FINALLY had the material and made it work. I felt Robin’s pain as if I was cheated on. She was just amazing during the reveal and after. Even today she had me crying for Robin. She had the material and worked it beyond what it could be. I felt for Robin. Even non Scrub fans were complimenting her work and thought she had it sewn up and then nothing. This is just insulting as a viewer. The whole process. How can you pre nom when you never saw the work?… Read more »
Kimberly McCullough had such wonderfully raw emotional scenes this year. I’m really disappointed that she’s not going to be recognized for her work.
Deeply shocked about Kimberly McCullough’s snub by the academy. The Daytime Emmy’s are a joke to me now and truly showed they have no concept of talent. No offense to Julie Marie Berman, but what did she do to top KMC’s performance? Nothing, she just happens to be a favorite.
I am very disappointed Susan Lucci was not nominated this year. She has a very difficult role; many people think it is her because she is Erica Kane but those in the know will recognize Lucci is not Erica Kane. Very different people which goes to her credibility as an actress. The writers could help Lucci but she has done some amazing work this past year with her daughters on the show and even her dealing with her mother who she misses. She is a very under rated actress.
I agree, I think Susan Lucci did some truly moving work this year: Palmer’s death, her reunion with her friend/enemy Brooke, saying goodbye to Adam, missing her mother Mona, the campy “Dorothy” scenes, and her struggles to keep her daughters safe and happy.
Sadly, the soap opera genre tends to skew itself to the younger market. I’m in my thirties and admit Lucci looks great for any age. But they seem to give her more of a supporting role to her daughters often when she still has the “it” qualities. Lucci in my opinion is at a disadvantage – to the world she is Erica Kane and Erica Kane is over the top, out of this world with a bit of camp. Still if you look at Lucci’s performance they remain true to the character – multi faceted as we see but she… Read more »
I was surprised Kimberly McCullough did not get a pre-nom. She’s done some excellent work the past year. She really deserved one!
Dominic Zamprogna, is a phenomenal actor and gives all of himself in his character of Dante. In every scene he shines. Such a disappointment that he was not selected.
SO TRUE!
AMEN!!!!:)
LOL, Becky Herbst the “queen of the soaps” didnt even make the pre pre nom list.
For me I thought the biggest error was not including FL instead of GT. Second would be Kim in place of JMB. In the end, I hope the award for supporting goes to MCE, so theres part of me thats glad Kim didnt get selected as she would have been MCE’s biggest competition. Now she just has to get past NLG.
Uhmm sorry but I have that god given right to my opinion !I FEEL BECKY should of gotten a PRE NOM!
An actor is NOT eligible for a pre-nom if they didnt first make the list of individuals under consideration. I jokingly called that the pre pre nom list because thats really what it is. If becky wasnt on that list, then she wasnt going to make this list either, no matter HOW anyone FEELS about it. You can FEEL she should have made THAT list, but once she didnt, she no longer became eligible. Conversely both Kim and Florencia actually made that list of eligible actors but did not make the cut for an actual pre-nom. Dont blame me, I… Read more »
UMMMM again my God given right to have an opinion that RH should have made the list. YOU can share all about how it works AND try to say that means RH didn’t deserve the nod but it won’t change I’M ENTITLED to my opinion
Hey Toy1975:
Thanks so much for your comments and your passion on the performances last year of Rebecca Herbst. Unfortunately, Rebecca also did not make it on the pre-pre nomination list. And, as I explained in the opening of the Snub Poll Post, The votes should be for those who made the first cut and then did not get to the Pre-Nom round. So just an FYI- Rebecca was not in the running from the beginning. Was not sure you were clear about that and how this poll is structured.
Hope that makese sense,
Best,
Michael
I cannot believe that Kimberly McCullough was snubbed. The confession scenes between her and JT were phenomenal, and I think they both deserved to be up for it (Congrats to JT!). I think it’s pretty clear that JMB is up there again simply because she’s on all the time, rather than her actual acting ability. Don’t get me wrong, she’s good – but her scenes were not nearly as powerful as Kimberly’s this year.
KImberly is the biggest surprise. With everyone talking about her and the FA story and then she is snubbed is ridiculous.
It wasn’t just the reveal scenes with Kimberly it was even after that. Heck even now during Sonny and Brenda’s wedding. I am speechless.
Sorry but JMB didn’t have anything. I agree about her being on all the time and more noticable. Too bad it isn’t on talent first and then best talent.
So many top stars ignored tell me the process is OFF!
DZ! So upset how can they not acknowledge this man’s performances. He is an amazing, talented ,passionate actor with so much talent.. Shame on the people who did.nt vote for Dom. This is a true injustice to a gifted, hard, dedicated worker who deserves recognition for his work………
BEAUTIFULLY SAID!
I cannot believe that Dominic Zamprogna was not nominated!! He has been outstanding ever since he first joined GH, and his work this past year, the reveal as Sonny’s son, his scenes with his mom following the reveal…they were just mezmerizing and intense and heartbreaking. Dominic is one of the finest actors on TV…and NOT just daytime TV. This goes down in my book as a biggest mistake the Emmys made this year. How can Julie Berman get a nom and not her leading man…freaking unbelievable!!!
*applause* AMEN!
Dominic Z should have submitted himself for Lead Actor NOT Supporting Actor! He is clearly a lead and was on air more than ANY other GH actor for all of 2010!!! He might have stood a better chance if he had tried for the correct category!
ITA! Dominic Zamprogna is absolutely a lead actor. Infact- he is THE lead actor
For me definitely it has to be KMc this was definitely her year and some of the best acting she’s done in years and it absolutely ridiculous that she was not acknowledged, I am sorry JMB did not have as much or as powerful work as KMc had this year and it is utterly disappointing she was not recognized. It is sad that the daytime emmys have become and popularity contest joke ! The only consolation is JT got nominated which is amazing and much deserved for a storyline that was critically acclaimed and which both actors acted their asses… Read more »
I voted for Kimberly McCullough in the poll. If I had been able to vote for all the actors and actresses I felt were omitted, I would have also chosen Florencia Lozano, David Canary and Susan Lucci.
DZ Im still im shock he deserved it all the way with the material he brought to GH this year,,,,,,,,,
AGREED!
So disappointed Crystal Chappell was not nominated… anyway the emmy’s nominations have been a shame the past years….
No Dominic Zamprogna? Really? He must be the hardest working man in daytime. He gave amazing work every single day. To deliver the quality scenes that he did everyday is above and beyond. His scenes in the shooting with Maurice Bernard would easily solidify him a nomination. I started watching GH again because of Jonathan Jackson and stayed because of JJ and DZ. Those two and Lante and really the reason I have once again invested in the show. This is just plain crazy. This and the insane Y&R nominations are a huge reason that the Emmys need to rethink… Read more »
Me too. I stopped watching GH years ago and then on day I just happened to catch a scenes with Dominic Zamprogna and I’ve been hooked ever since. He is the reason I came back to GH and Dominic Zamprogna is the ONLY reason I ever watch. he DESERVED an Emmy nom. Heck…he deserved the Emmy WIN!
Florencia Lozano should have gotten a pre-nom! She had one of the most emotional, powerful storylines of the year and she rocked it! Totally disappointed that she was omitted
I agree. She is one of the best actors on the show. Did you see her scenes with her brother Tomas on Fridays show? Wow, she knocked those out of the park too.
I’m gutted Michael Muhney didn’t get a pre-nom. As Van Hansis didn’t submit himself this year, I was ready to root for Michael Muhney. Such a disappointment.
And I’m so broken hearted that Van did not submit himself this year.He could have submitted many reels that were excellent.I no longer have any interest in the Emmys and not much in soaps in general.Bit I will always be a fan of Van!
REBECCA HERBST She did a fantastic job with her break-down.
I am stunned that Kimberly McCullough was not on the list.
There were a few snubs this year that pissed me off. First of all, Kimberly McCullough. I was actually thinking about it, and while she is a supporting actress on the show, she probably would have been pre-nominated if she submitted as a lead. I have been trying to think about what Nancy Lee Grahn did last year and certain scenes did come to mind; Julie Marie Berman was harder to remember. I kind of had a feeling that JMB was a shoe-in because of her “Younger Actress” win last year. I would have loved to see a tie between… Read more »
I agree about Nic Robuck. I’m sorry but he is a horrible actor. I agree about Florencia she should have gottien a nod. Brandon Buddy should have gotten one too. He was robbed two years in a row!!!
Absolutely the one who got snubbed the most is Dominic Zamprogna. How can he not be a pre-nom when he gives 1,000% every day and has one amazing, stunning and captivating performance after another. There is no other actor on TV (daytime, night, etc) that puts that much emotion into every scene, he is so real. No other actor has given me smiles, brought me to tears, and given me so much to look forward every day watching GH. He is the winner in my heart and a winner every day.
I a sooo stunned with this snub. Its aweful : )
Deeply saddened and truly shocked that DZ did not recieve a pre-nom. I really don’t understand that at all. I now have little faith in the emmy’s and believe Nancy Lee Grahn when she called them nothing but politics last year. It’s a shame. I thought the awards were designed to be given to those who deserve it, not to the people who can brown nose the best. And really, NLG is supporting? What universe am I in?
I agree 1000%
Crystal Chappell makes daytime TV worth watchin, that she wasn’t nominated is ridiculous, that it is all.
I agree with you.. I return to watch soaps just for Crystal Chappell
I am Very disapointed that Crystal Chappell didn’t move to pre-noms…She is the best Actress Ever. She’s the best ‘DAYS” has ever had….anyway she dont need it she got us her lovin loyal fans,shes already WON in our eyes.We LOVE HER
Crystal Chappell is #1 in my book hands down and hats off… She takes her role and gives it the bump it needs to be memorable, always brings her A game and still takes the time to spend with her fans…. She has to be one of the most authentically real down to earth people there is. She deserves an emmy and more for her work.
Kimberly truly left me STUNNED in her scenes and I don’t even care for Scrubs! She MADE me care though! Kim makes the most of every scene she gets. Congrats to everyone else but I’m absolutely stunned she wasn’t pre-nommed
Michael Muhney ‘s performances as Adam really brought me back to watching Y&R. He has been front and center the wholee time I have been watching. I dont understand how he could not be included in the noms.
Ditto!!!!
Sharon Case!! She gets snubbed all the time. Her work with Cassie’s death was amazing and overlooked. Then her stuff in 2006 when Nick cheated on her was overlooked too. She deserves recognition, but the “academy” has their favourites.
I agree….! Sharon Case is often overlooked. Yeah, many people can’t relate to her storyline… or are pissed off about it, but she’s always wonderful in her scenes. I LOVED her in the Cassie’s death scenes. Her heartbreak was absolutely palpable.
Absolutely Dominic Zamprogna was the most deserving of the pre-nom. He gives us captivating, amazing, and stunning acting every single day and he is so real. He gives us 1, 000% every single day and rocks every scene.
I am so very shocked Dominic Zamprogna was left out! He is an incredible actor and proved so in all of his scenes… Just go back and watch the shooting scene among many… I’m very disappointed he isn’t recognized. Congrats to JMB and the rest of the cast of GH.
It really is ridiculous he was not nominated
KMC so deserved a pre-nom this year. She is an incredible actress and she certainly had the material with the FA storyline. Congrats to her TV husband, Jason for his pre-nom.
You really should be asking who got in and why? With the list from General Hospital, all I see is agenda. It’s not only sick but, a joke. What could or has Kelly Monaco even done to be in anything. She has not even had a story since 2005 let alone was backburned most of 2010. Is there now a catagory for fetching drinks, or being filler, or better yet a catagory for the worse actress in daytime who can not act or even pronunciate? Because if there is… She has this viewers vote. Brian Frons at work. It’s DTWTS… Read more »
Ahhh the Liz fans are still jealous over Kelly’s DWTS win LOL. Kelly is a lead and she had story handling Kristina’s abuse – trying to protect her, coping with her unresolved issues with Alexis and sorting through the feelings that were stirred up remembering her own domestic assault experiences. She also had story with jason dealing with michael, again reliving some of her experiences with violence, and coping with jason leaving her – showing her growth over the last few years that she was able to deal with his absence without falling apart. Moreover, she made the pre prenom… Read more »
Ahhh a fan of the flappy armed Sam who has delusions of grandeur for their favorite hooking mob thuget. How sad the pathetic win at DWTS over what 6 years ago. LOL. I guess the little wins are all you have. I love how you fantasized and embellished the lackluster storylines handed to Sam in the last year. What was it you said she “helped Kristina heal from her abuse”. You mean she ran off and kicked and beat on a man who was innocent, and demanded Jason kill him. That what two days worth of airtime KeMo got with… Read more »
*STANDING OVATION*
I’m not jealous and I’m a Liz fan please don’t drag Elizabeth Webber’s entire fanbase into this ongoing silliness attacking opinions seems to be some’s life’s work…
GH is a 4th rated soap tanking losing viewers what the hell is there to be jealous about?
There is no “agenda” – because the soaps themselves no longer control the Pre-Nom voting process. Anybody can submit now, they don’t have to be submitted by the show. The in house voting only counts for a small part of the Pre-Nom process now. They started doing this last year to avoid on-set politics, cries of favoritism,and to refute the old “popularity contest” argument.
All I will say is please note which member of which fan base went to the personal (Kelly not Sam) and which fanbase didnt. Note which member of which fanbase went negative. All I said was that the some members of the Liz fanbase are jealous that DWTS gave Kelly national attention. BOO HOO sometimes thems the breaks.
