The Daytime Emmy Awards

Hello everyone, and welcome back to my blog on Soap Operas. My topic for this week is something that I’m sure everyone knows about or has at least heard of. The Daytime Emmy’s.
The Daytime Emmy Awards are awards that are presented by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences in recognition of excellence in American daytime television programming. The first Daytime Emmy was awarded in 1972 to the show The Doctors, The Doctors and General Hospital were nominated for Outstanding Achievement in Daytime television.
The Emmy is awarded in 68 categories, including acknowledgements for series, performers and all other technical and creative areas. The Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards season culminates with a televised show that pays tribute to the exceptional work of daytime broadcasting's elite. There have been 35 Daytime Emmy Awards, two of which were not televised (1983, 1984).
As I have previously mentioned in quite a few of my blogs, the acting on soap operas is horrible and people know it, even those nominating people and choosing the winners for the awards. That is the main reason why year after year, they usually have the same people to be nominated for the same awards. In fact, All My Children star, Susan Lucci was nominated 19 times without any wins. She finally came out on top and won for the Best Actress in 1999.
As for the 36th Annual Daytime Entertainment Emmy Awards, it was announced in March that The CW, for the first time, will broadcast the Emmy’s in August. They will be hosted in New York City, the big apple. The location for them is currently unknown, whether they are at the Radio City Music Hall, Madison Square Garden, or another venue, they will find somewhere!
In my opinion, the Emmy’s are kind of an award show that people often forget about. Even though the acting maybe isn’t quite up to the caliber of the actors and actresses on The Oscars I think they still deserve to have the same recognition of others.
