BEST OF LUCK TO ALL!!!

ATWT--DAYTIME EMMY AWARDS, WHO (& WHY) SHOULD BE NOMINATED

**Detonates actor/actress received pre-nomination


MAURA WEST as Carly Tenney **(Outstanding Lead Actress)
As The World Turns
Besides recovering from alcoholism, West has received great scenes regarding Carly finding out about her sister Rosanna being with Craig, and her disappointments and frustrations with not being able to express her true feelings about her ex-husband Jack.

JAKE SILBERMANN as Noah Mayer
As The World Turns
Dealing with Luke’s jealousy, and the fact that Luke (and Damian) have driven Noah to his current blindness, have left Noah a mess, and Silbermann’s portrayal of Noah has been one of his best during his stint on ATWT, and his performance is defiantly Emmy worthy.

VAN HANSIS as Luke Snyder
As The World Turns
Luke has been up and down this past year and has gotten great emotional scenes, especially the recent emotional break up between Like and Noah.

ASHLEY GREINER as Faith Snyder
As The World Turns
Faith has gone through a lot, considering that she ASKED to go to boarding school, Greiner has perfectly portrayed Faith for who she was: lost, confused, and scared; the fact that her dad was dead, then back to life and her parents broke up, brought out the best in this character.

CADY McCLAIN as Rosanna Cabot **(Outstanding Supporting Actress)
As The World Turns
McClain has previously won before for her role of Dixie on All My Children and for her role of Rosanna on ATWT; she is such a fantastic actress, she showed such gut-wrenching emotion when Rosanna called off the wedding because she couldn’t deny that Craig still loved her sister Carly.

TERRI COLOMBINO as Katie Peretti Snyder **(Outstanding Lead Actress)
As The World Turns
Colombino was so great this past year in portraying Katie, after losing her husband, best friend, and all hope; Colombino showed us the Katie we all know, and was able to come back to life, and along the way had shown some great emotional scenes. Defiantly one performance WORTHY of winning the Emmy.

AUSTIN PECK as Brad Snyder **(Outstanding Supporting Actor)
As The World Turns
Everyone loves Brad; he’s funny, smart, a wise ass, and many more.. So it came quite a shock to many ATWT when Brad was killed off; but we have not seen Brad so vulnerable has he has been over the past year, despite being a ghost, Peck DELIVERED the perfect amount of emotion for his scenes.

KELLY MENIGHAN HENSLEY as Emily Stewart
As The World Turns
Emily’s search for a baby brought her to emotional despair, happiness, and loss. Hensley brought us a different side to Emily, one that wanted to start a family, and was willing to do anything to get it.

MARNIE SCHULENBURG as Alison Stewart **(Outstanding Younger Actress)
As The World Turns
Alison almost got married, almost got killed, cheated on her fiancé, and discovered many secrets along the way; Schulenburg was perfect as Alison and showed us how much Alison has grown up; delivering us a perfect Emmy worthy performance.

MEREDITH HAGNER as Liberty Ciccone
As The World Turns
The ‘old’ Liberty (Hagner) has had to deal with the brunt of the character’s emotional baggage; suffice it to say, losing a baby she didn’t want, getting leukemia, losing her father, and watching her mother’s marriage fall apart has brought Hagner many, MANY emotional scenes and she should defiantly be nominated this year.

JULIE PINSON as Janet Ciccone Snyder **(Outstanding Supporting Actress)
As The World Turns
No matter how much you may hate Janet, her year has been pretty much the same as Liberty’s and the emotion we see in Pinson’s portrayal of a mother trying to keep her family together is all but too real and Pinson gives us emotion that we can’t forget.

MICHAEL PARK as Jack Snyder **(Outstanding Lead Actor)
As The World Turns
Shooting his own brother, Jack became such a wreck, and Park hit the jackpot; as Jack had emotional Emmy worthy scenes almost weekly. Park is a fantastic actor, and this year might be his year to strike gold.

TOM PELPHREY as Mick Dante (AKA ‘James Stenbeck’)
As The World Turns
In probably the weirdest plot twist to hit Oakdale, we met an off-the-wall guy (to put it nicely), named Mick. Through Mick’s journey, we came to see how Pelphrey won those three Emmy awards for his role on Guiding Light. The portrayal of Mick was probably not an easy one, but Pelphrey pulled it off.

MARIE WILSON as Meg Snyder
As The World Turns
Watching Meg fly off the wall and watch Damian tear her sanity down was one of the more frustrating moments of watching ATWT; However, we saw Wilson bring a new aspect to Meg, and she gave us an unforgettable performance in doing so.

BILLY MAGNUSSEN as Casey Hughes **(Outstanding Younger Actor)
As The World Turns
Casey has dealt with a lot of crap over the past year in Oakdale, and Magnussen has given us some powerful performances, and shown us that Casey Hughes is now grown up.

OTHER PRE-NOMINATED ACTORS:

JON LINDSTROM as Craig Montgomery **(Outstanding Lead Actor)
TRENT DAWSON as Henry Coleman **(Outstanding Supporting Actor)
MICK HAZEN as Parker Snyder **(Outstanding Younger Actor)

Y&R--DAYTIME EMMY AWARDS, WHO (& WHY) SHOULD BE NOMINATED.

**Detonates actor/actress received pre-nomination

DOUG DAVIDSON as Paul Williams **(Outstanding Lead Actor)
The Young And The Restless
Davidson’s defining moments as Paul were really when “Patty” was in the coma, and he was at a loss, in the weeks that followed, Davidson showed raw, gut wrenching emotion.

STACY HAIDUK as Patty Williams and Dr. Emily Peterson **(Outstanding Supporting Actress)
The Young And The Restless
Dual roles on soap operas are so entertaining to watch, and are pulled off well by talented actors, and Haiduk is talented; portraying Patty Williams so well with an eerie sense of danger, and Emily’s journey is also well portrayed too.

PETER BERGMAN as Jack Abbott **(Outstanding Lead Actor)
The Young And The Restless
Jack’s storyline this year with Patty, and falling in love with Stacy has shown the tender side of Jack, and we see the other side when he lashes out after Jabot was bought by the Newman family. Bergman shows a great range of emotion in Jack’s characterization.

EILEEN DAVIDSON as Ashley Abbott
The Young And The Restless
Davidson is such a talented actress, she’s one of my favorite soap stars. That said, Ashley had quite an ordeal this past year; the fiasco with the babies and then losing her trust in Adam, feeling quite insecure with her own sanity, and then finding that her baby might not be hers; Davidson conveyed her character in the right manner, I wouldn’t be surprised to find her nominated at the Emmys.

SHARON CASE as Sharon Newman **(Outstanding Lead Actress)
The Young And The Restless
Sharon has had the ups and downs of a typical soap female; and Case has been brilliant in her portrayal of Sharon. The upcoming episodes of the “Faith’s maternity” storyline will no doubt bring us more great emotion.

MICHAEL MUHNEY as Adam Newman (Adam Wilson)
The Young And The Restless
Adam is defiantly a sociopath (mentioned quite a few times by different characters in the show), and Muhney’s portrayal of Adam is really on target and a strong representation of his talent.

MICHELLE STAFFORD as Phyllis Newman **(Outstanding Lead Actress)
The Young And The Restless
Phyllis has had quite a year: dealing with Sharon/Nick, her son’s (false) imprisonment, her own relationship, the loss of Sharon and Nick’s baby, and Adam’s lies. You may not like Phyllis, but you got to admit: Stafford is one hell of an actress, she shows so many sides of Phyllis in so many situations.

MICHAEL GRAZIADEI as Daniel Romalotti
The Young And The Restless
Daniel has had an arduous year, his imprisonment scenes brought out the best in the character.

TRACEY E. BREGMAN as Lauren Fenmore Baldwin
The Young And The Restless
Lauren’s been through some tough stuff recently on Y&R, and Bregman has shown the best in Lauren’s scattered side; and the current storyline with her and Paul is defiantly going to bring some good material to the table.

CHRISTIAN LeBLANC as Michael Baldwin
The Young And The Restless
Michael’s stress level has increased in recent weeks on Y&R, and it’ll no doubt increase in following weeks. LeBlanc is perfect in orchestrating the role of Michael, emotionally and giving us more depth into the character.

VANESSA MARANO as Eden Gerick
The Young And The Restless
Eden’s had a hard year, and has shown us great development in the character, with Marano’s great portrayal of the character.

YVONNE ZIMA as Daisy Sanders
The Young And The Restless
If you hate Adam, chances are you also hate Daisy. No denying, Zima’s portrayal of Daisy’s sinister nature is defiantly bone-chilling.

DANIEL GODDARD as Cane Ashby
The Young And The Restless
Goddard has given us great performances as Cane, and his emotional levels were tested with many frustrating storylines, and Goddard passed with flying colors.

CHRISTEL KHALIL as Lily Winters Ashby **(Outstanding Younger Actress)
The Young And The Restless
Khalil is so lovable as Lily, everyone (or most everyone) loves Lily; however, that dang cancer storyline has brought Lily (and most of the Y&R audience) to tears.

JEANNE COOPER as Katherine Chancellor Murphy **(Outstanding Lead Actress)
The Young And The Restless
Cooper is brilliant with Katherine, hard to believe she won her first competitive Emmy in 2008! However, Katherine was faced with many obstacles and the biggest: Tucker is her son (insert "gasp!"), has brought Katherine to emotional ends, don’t be surprised to see Cooper nominated. (Glad to see that one of the senior cast members of a soap still gets regular face time, BTW).

ELIZABETH HENDRICKSON as Chloe Mitchell **(Outstanding Supporting Actress)
