That said I find it weird how many talk categories they have now and that all the children's programming was in the creative arts. That said due to the cursing, I'm glad for this year they were moved even if I like to see the Muppets.blhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07446533843513890208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-16472955101031569692014-06-24T01:59:31.329-04:002014-06-24T01:59:31.329-04:00Why wasn't Melissa Archer at the Daytime Emmy ...Why wasn't Melissa Archer at the Daytime Emmy Awards last night to support her OLTL team, Roger?Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06192737449355375003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-14150615600398496312014-06-23T23:53:03.164-04:002014-06-23T23:53:03.164-04:00@MK Scott - IA, I thought with "unlimited&quo...@MK Scott - IA, I thought with "unlimited" time constraints it would have been the perfect opportunity to present Best Show montages, as in the past. After all, if one of the goals was to make the awards appeal to younger audiences, why wouldn't the shows want to jump on that and actually give these potential viewers an overall vibe of what the shows are all about, featuring, of course, a lot of their younger talent.

I wished the Daytime Emmys had done that-- like you said the somber tone may have felt strangely out of place with last night's raucous ceremony.<br /><br />Also, I'm disappointed that there was no Lifetime Achievement Award but you're right, Roger...so much better than the last few years, particularly the HLN years.<br /><br />If they come back next year, I'd suggest someone like Regis Philbin hosting, if they can afford him and if he is able.<br />On the red carpet, I'd suggest Linda Dano, Mark Consuelos and Colleen Zenk. <br /><br />I would have loved to see Denyse Tontz perform her song! She could have sang over a montage of images from the previous year in Daytime TV.<br />Speaking of soap music...<br />Some were complaining about OLTL's theme song when they went to accept for Outstanding Direction but I actually liked it, and I thought that version (melodic) was suited to the occasion.<br /><br />I'd love it if the Daytime Emmys paid more homage to the Classic Soaps, especially the ones that are no more. The Donna Mills segment was touching and classy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-66994607539246097842014-06-23T17:02:13.838-04:002014-06-23T17:02:13.838-04:00Thanks for mentioning the In Memoriam segment. I ...Thanks for mentioning the In Memoriam segment. I said that on Twitter last night but forgot to add that here. It crossed my mind though that an In Memoriam may have seemed out of place at last night's event. I can't imagine them going to from F-bombs to remembering greats like James Rebhorn. But somehow they should have found a way to do it.<br /><br />Speaking of singing, it might have been nice to let the original song winner from Friday, All My Children's Denyse Tontz (Miranda), perform her winning song.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-52016686664329035182014-06-23T16:03:15.554-04:002014-06-23T16:03:15.554-04:00I pretty much agree with everything you've wri...I pretty much agree with everything you've written. <br /><br />The Chandler Massey faux pas is especially curious, because, how and why didn't they just choose a moment from the reel that he actually submitted (as seemed to be the case with the other nominees)? And then, how or why did a clip from calendar year 2014 get used, since these awards are for work broadcast in 2013? Oh well, he laughed it off pretty good.<br /><br />In the needed improvement area, I would have liked to have seen some better shots of the audience and close ups of the "circles of people" at various tables. <br /><br />In the bad, I would add: No "In Memoriam" segment? Gosh, if they're that lazy, they could have contracted with WeLoveSoaps to do it. ;-)<br /><br />But wasn't Donna Mills just the best? Not only did she look great, but her love and appreciation for the genre and mention of Secret Storm was so special. It really was the highlight of the evening, and her special moment of class and elegance almost made up for the crude and vulgar ones we had to sit through with others. Take note, boys and girls: Stay classy!<br /><br />But as you conclude - Overall I enjoyed the show more than the last few years and certainly did not miss any of that obtrusive singing and dancing.
