There was t...I thought Regis was just awful, too! <br /><br />There was too much "Come to Vegas" stuff (even a tour of a freakin' hotel at one point) and not enough time given to soaps and tributes. That was my biggest gripe of all.<br /><br />Dawn, I agree about the clips. I watch General Hospital regularly (OK, more like religiously) and I catch Y&R and OLTL when I can. Other than those, I don't know anyone from the other soaps. The clips really would have helped.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038041525169028417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481061536262399121.post-48967629024551704692010-06-28T22:36:23.988-04:002010-06-28T22:36:23.988-04:00Thank you for reiterating my sentiments exactly......Thank you for reiterating my sentiments exactly....ESP the deleting of the clip reels. That was always one my favorite parts of the broadcast. I enjoy rewatching the clips of my favorite nominees, as well as seeing the work of the other nominees so I can judge their worthiness. :) I missed my year-long summary montage of all the nominees for best show and I missed seeing the nominees in the audience as the winner was announced. Overall, I just missed EVERYTHING that the show USED to be. And the icing on the cake was the complete disregard for the passing of sweet Frances Reid, AKA Alice Horton on Days. I am not a DOOL fan, but I can certainly acknowledge her importance in daytime history. Not even a picture and dates??? Seriously, last night was just a huge letdown.Kimberlyhttp://www.twitter.com/pinkangel77noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481061536262399121.post-45785563350571496422010-06-28T22:26:54.224-04:002010-06-28T22:26:54.224-04:00Eleven, I was annoyed too by the Agnes "30 se...Eleven, I was annoyed too by the Agnes "30 second" comment. That's exactly the type of thing we should have seen more of, instead of the lengthy Bandstand tribute, etc. And I don't know Billy Miller, but I know a lot of fans were thrilled that he won. That's why I missed the clip reels; would have loved to have seen a little bit of his work.<br /><br />Heather, I definitely agree about Regis! He almost looked like he was sleepwalking through it! Whoopi would be a great choice to host; not sure if she would do it/if there's a money issue.Dawn Deckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04638504557196843478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481061536262399121.post-56162407713696914522010-06-28T21:43:03.946-04:002010-06-28T21:43:03.946-04:00Am I the only one who thought Regis was just awful...Am I the only one who thought Regis was just awful? Totally boring host (he's terrible on his own show!), entire night was a travel ad for Vegas and it was very little about actual soap stars, outside of Lucci anyway. Bandstand tribute was wayyy too long but Dick did get my heart at the end. Thank God for dvr or else I would have changed the channel! Let's pray we get a better host next year, is Whoppi asking for too much $$$?Heathernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1481061536262399121.post-39367724341807109732010-06-28T21:01:52.604-04:002010-06-28T21:01:52.604-04:00I know they cut out a lot of other categories and ...I know they cut out a lot of other categories and that we should be grateful that we even got to see the Daytime Emmys, but I'm with you on the fact that we, and the soap stars, deserve better.<br /><br />I don't watch ATWT, but even I was amazed at how crappy a tribute was given to a soap that's lived longer than I have. And I was furious when I heard someone say "Hurry up, Agnes, you only have 30 seconds" as Agnes Nixon was making her way to the stage to accept her lifetime achievement award. <br /><br />GH is my soap of choice so I know how you feel about always wanting it to win any category it's nominated in. I was excited to see that JMB and the directing team won emmys and completely appalled that Sarah Joy Brown and Carolyn Hennesy didn't. <br /><br />However, as sorry as I am for Bradford and Jonathan, I did get up and do a little happy dance when Billy Miller won. I love this guy. I loved him on AMC (back when I watched) and I adore him on Y&R. In my opinion, he was deserving.<br /><br />A lot of stars were tweeting about how wonderful the show was. I don't know what I'm missing.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11038041525169028417noreply@blogger.com
