Daytime Emmy Noms: Dick van Dyke, 98, for “Days of our Lives,” Also Movie Star Guy Pearce for Aussie Soap

Share

The Daytime Emmy nominations are out, and they are unusual.

Dick van Dyke, age 98, was nominated for his guest spot on “Days of Our Lives.” It’s his first ever Daytime Emmy nomination. He will win, easily.

Aussie movie star Guy Pearce got a nomination for that country’s soap, “Neighbours.” Why? I have no idea.

There are six nominees for Best Actress in a soap, and only five for Best Actor. William Devane once said men on soap operas were like furniture for the women to push around, or something like that.

Most of the acting nominations are arbitrary, or have to do with bulk voting from a cast. They make little sense, although it’s time for Finola Hughes to win something for “General Hospital.”

I don’t understand how Jennifer Hudson’s talk show as nominated, but not Hudson herself. The awful and now cancelled “The Talk” hosts were nominated, but not their show.

Robert Downey, Jr was nominated for his car show.

The Daytime Emmys are on CBS June 7th. Is it a coincidence that the CBS shows got so many nominations? Probably not.
