Daytime Emmy Ceremony

I hope Finola Hughes wins. She submitted her reels from when she shot Charlotte Cassadine and she was excellent in that storyline.

With so few soaps, the pool is depleted.

Wish they still released the Emmy submission reels for public consumption.

Are Melody and Ed Scott being awarded jointly or separately?

Steve Burton and his gaudy girlfriend.

Finola Hughes.

Don't like her baggy pants.

Maura West.

Hopefully that bitch Erika Slezak doesn't show.

"coveted"

Hilarious.

Did Maura bring Andy Dixon?

This opening is embarrassing.

[quote] Wish they still released the Emmy submission reels for public consumption.

Apparently, they don't want to remind the general public that these awards are based on no more than 15 minutes of an actor's entire work over the course of a year.

Will there be an In Memoriam segment?

Star Jones!!!

Amanda Kloots .. if only Nick could see her now !

WTF is this opening

This show needs the MST3K treatment.

Is INGO there?

Wally was robbed

Is that Elizabeth Kunt in red?

Looks like Jonathan ate Drew.

Dick Van Dyke looks like an aging werewolf.

The hosts asking the crowd to stand when Dick Van Dyke was introduced sitting in the audience and then the shot of those 2 young women sitting at their table refusing to get up was cringeworthy.

DVD would look so much better without the beard.

DVD annoys me

Jennifer Gareis actually looks quite nice. Lovely dress.

FInola Hughes. Really messy outfit.

Heather Tom looks like she's ready to star in a low budget, sword-and-sandal epic from the 60s.

And Eric Martsolf is still trying to pimp his twin sons.

I can’t believe Courtney Hope won an emmy. this shit is so rigged

Kevin Frazier looks incredible for a 60-year-old man.

The link at R26 didn't take.

r28

60 year old straight gay man

I don't understand why Kelly Clarkson can't smile just a little less wide. Do we really need to see all her gums? She would look more attractive if she toned down the too wide grin.

Why didn't Kelly thank Ozympec?

JHud didn't look to happy about Kelly winning.

R18 Ingo probably can't afford to fly in from Florida.

TGVN is up next to mumble his way through Melody's moment.

Linden Ashby looked pissed when DVD won

Why is Valerie Bertinelli in a baggy suit. Isn't she Ozempic-ing? Her boyfriend is enjoying the public attention a little too much. It will end in tears. But Valerie is always crying about something anyway.

I

Is Sunny Hostin the only one from “The View” there?

Kelly Clarkson didn’t mean to be a jerk by forgetting names? Bitch you’ve been a jerk by not showing up at all to collect your awards the last five years. Her reps must’ve prompted her to go this year to not appear like a total ingrate.

This looks like a very low-budget event for an award show.

^Just saw Alyssa.

r40 they are lucky it is back on network tv. They used to stream it because no one cared about it.

Surprised Mel revealed her age on national television.

I'm sorry...FOOD? This is what they are showing? No thank you...

Take the mike from Gramma.

who is producing the shitfest

R46 = This looks like a MUMBLES production to me.

Gay Producer from Ina Garden...bald and earring? It's just too easy to ridicule him so I won't.

Billy Bush winning would have been fucking hilarious...

CBS owns ET. So of course they won.

In Memoriam next up . . .

Has the "makeup artist" award been announced yet? One of our very own is nominated!

Team Dee Dee.

Please let Cynthia Watros win and not Snaggletooth.....

Who is Snaggletooth?

Their 'In Memoriam' segment was the way these tributes should be done. Very classy. I wish the producers of the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys, Tonys, and other shows would learn from them.

Anyone else see the jagged teeth on one of Melody’s daughters?

R55, They included Amanda Davies, Erika’s daughter.

Snaggletooth is Laura Wright and I don't think she's nominated.

I wonder if Sunny is going to mention 'white privilege' as one of the reasons why Kelly and Mark won Best Talk Show Hosts ?

And?

Bump

[quote] Kelly Clarkson didn’t mean to be a jerk by forgetting names? Bitch you’ve been a jerk by not showing up at all to collect your awards the last five years

Huh? Didn’t her show only start a year ago?

“ Neighbours” is nominated?!

Thorston Kaye?....Fuck him .This is now officially a meaningless trophy.

Michelle Stafford? ugh..

Proof that these are bought and paid for

R62 Yes. "Neighbours" is now eligible, because it's produced by an American company (Amazon MGM Studios) and streamed in the U.S. on Freevee.

Who is Frank Valentini fucking?

I didn’t realize crazy ol Michelle Stafford was still on Y&R.

Praise Xenu!

Frank Valentini can fuck me any time he wants - gorgeous guy.

Was Frank Valentini drunk or high?

Who is the “Charlie” Frank thanked with all his love?

Frank Valentini thanked "My Beloved Charlie." His husband?

His Border Collie.

Lot of Michelle haters on DL, and I thought the part of the reel they showed for her was campy, but she always brings entertainment and her own brand of charisma to Phyllis. I really thought Finola or Cynthia would win.

I'll pretend I'm Charlie

CYNTHIA WATROS WAS ROBBED

R63 I picked Kaye or McCook to win after the nominations were announced. I’m not the biggest fan of hobo Ridge either (Ronn Moss will always be Ridge in all his shitty acting glory), but I knew the voters would be sucked in to the Eric is he dying or not crap.

I didn’t think Ed Scott was going to shut up.

Watros is usually always Emmy-worthy. She will get nominated again. But still me 😢

And?

Bump?

R70 DL asked that same question while watching last year's ceremony.

[quote] Frank Valentini thanked "My Beloved Charlie." His husband?

More likely the rentboy who's waiting back at Frank's WeHo penthouse.

Is Charlie is slang for DEX. ?

R52 Hairstyling and Makeup is awarded during Daytime's Creative Arts & Lifestyle Emmy Awards, which will happen tomorrow night. I believe they're streaming that ceremony at the Daytime Emmys NATAS website.

I hate to be rude (but this IS Datalounge)---but now you have winners who really wouldn't have had a nomination or chance 15 years ago when there were more soaps. Thorsten Kaye is many things---best actor is NOT one of them. His whole "big" storyline was the Sheila entrapment farce.

Thanks, R84!

During Ed and Mel's retrospective, did they mention his affair with that ingenue at Days of our Lives? Didn't he get canned over that?

Yes as a matter of fact they did, and they thanked her for bringing some spice into their boring love life.

R87 = I caught that too. I bet there was some serious snickering going on during their farcical speeches.

Our very own, very gay Melvin Roberts from Extra. Really miss him on Spectrum News Los Angeles.

R71 R72 I think that's the first confirmation we've had that Frank and Charles (Charlie) are still together, since that original photo of them was snapped (ca. 2011) and put up on DL.

It must be some kind of long-distance relationship, though, since Charlie's job keeps him in East Hampton.

R70, something was definitely up with him. Getting up from his table he seemed very unsteady. He showed no enthusiasm in his speech either despite it being the top award of the night.

R92, He’d been sitting there for at least two hours, probably drinking throughout.

Reading his speech from his phone in a monotone, he came off as indifferent or bored.

Did anyone else notice Braeden nearly botching his introduction of the Scotts?

Cricket was nudging him to read the teleprompter, but he wasn’t paying attention.

DVD wins at 98.

Frank probably hates all the recent changes to his job. It has been a rough few months.

R96, Is Frank mourning Johnny Wactor’s death?

What did Brendad wear?

HI everyone

[quote] ... he came off as indifferent or bored.

Frank was speaking for the entire audience.

R98 BrendaD skipped this piddly little show, and while it was being broadcast, reminded everyone that she was recognized by the State of California for her SOD Award as Best Villianess. .. Something that really matters!

R20, was that Elizabeth in the red? Who was the man to her right?

I thought that red dress was pretty and extremely flattering for a woman who’s not a size 4.

Overall, I liked the show. The shtick with the chef and the shirts was incredibly awkward, but the show moved at a good clip. I know I shouldn’t admit it, but I didn’t hate the opening.

More importantly though, who was the beautiful in the pink/mauve/purplish suit who was onstage with the hosts when their show won?

Beautiful man*

R103, I assumed he was an ET producer the way he hightailed it up to the stage.

Frank Valentini must have suspected GH would win since they win every year.

Couldn’t he remain sober for two hours?

Why was that stray curly q hair hanging on Frank's forehead?

This reading acceptance speeches off your iPhone is tacky.

Frank acting that way should be no big surprise. He basically acted in the same way when GH won at the last ceremony (see link). I think he was better dressed this time, though.

Both years, watching Frank accept for GH was weird...could he not at least put in some effort to put some spark in this delivery? Couldn't some of his actors give him a clue? In both years, he seemed depressed to have won. In any event, I thought Rebecca Herbst looked fabulous. Whoever did her hair should get a job on the show.

Apparently Rebecca Herbst carries slippers with her. Tabyana's shoe broke and Becky gave Tabyana her slippers to wear.

R110, Frank’s acceptance speech was more like a hostage video.

It looked like he was fucked up and Laura W was holding him up.

Droids are okay though, right, R108?

Obviously, Frank would rather be back in the Hamptons with Charlie.

I watched the entire clip at R109. He is clearly on something whether it’s alcohol or drugs. He staggers a bit in the last 30 seconds of the video.

Here he is about 11 years ago today to Michael Fairman on the red carpet for the same event. He seems fine here.

White Privilege? You do know my last name is Consuelos right?

R103 Okay, if you insist. .. The guy in the pink suit is Denny Directo, one of the correspondent's at Entertainment Tonight.

He was at WeHo pride last week and changed outfits at least three times.

IG: ddirecto

Do they still do the Outstanding Young Performer in a Drama Series where 23 year old Nicholas Alexander Chavez won?

R119 No. NATAS got rid of the Younger Performer award.

R118 = ugh. He is even grosser than he is on ET. Another generic FemBottom.

Dex!!

r122

He looks like a homosexualist

When's the wedding?

I was disappointed Adam Harrington "Jagger" didn't attend.

Bertinelli's younger man is enjoying the attention way too much.

I wonder if Fairman ever fucked Valentini (0r vice versa).

Michelle Stafford is being smug on Twitter, responding to people who aren't happy she won.

It's really bizarre that these celebrities take the time to respond to tweets they aren't even tagged in. How pathetic is it to search your name and then let everyone know you are stalking.

R127, I give their relationship six months, tops.

R128, Fairman is hideous. Alan Locher would be a better choice.

r127

he reminds me of a gay porn star but can't think of his name

Did Martha Bryne show up to protest her hubby's conviction?

R133, No, and neither did Martha Byrne.

[quote]White Privilege? You do know my last name is Consuelos right?

And your mother is full blooded Italian, and you grew up in Italy and America. Let's not forget that.

R132 He kind of reminds me of gay pron star "Kristofer Weston" also known as "President Faust" at the old Mormonboyz.

r131 facually yeah but he is a muscle mary with a very nice body.

Charlie's hotter than both of them.

R136, Those nips deserve their own Zip Code.
