How weird. The Daytime Emmy nominations are out. “One Life to Live,” cancelled by ABC, then resurrected briefly online, was nominated for Best Drama. “General Hospital,” resuscitated by the “One Life to Live” team after it was cancelled, was almost completely snubbed.
What?
Not only that, “The Young and the Restless” male actors earned four of the five nominating slots, leaving one to “GH” and none to “Days of Our Lives” or “The Bold and the Beautiful.” The nominations are quite screwy. And so far, there’s no network to carry them. So it all may be a moot point.
The whole “One Life to Live”-“General Hospital” scenario is beyond bizarre. “GH” has come on like a firestorm for the last 18 months under the old “OLTL” regime. It also boasts at least two of the best actresses on TV– Finola Hughes and Nancy Lee Grahn. Neither was nominated.
My advice: ignore the whole thing, and just stick to enjoying your shows.
The rest of the Daytime Emmys nominees can be found somewhere on line– certainly not easily on the Emmys’ own website. Just about everything else on TV during the day was nominated for something including “TMZ.” That should tell you everything.
