Daytime Emmy Awards in JeopardyThe Daytime Emmy nominations will be announced May 4, but so far no network has agreed to air the ceremony. A rep for the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences claims negotiations are still in play, but insiders say a live Internet feed may be more likely than a telecast. The awards, even if they're a no-cameras affair, are expected to take place June 23 in Beverly Hills.

SFN did such a great job streaming the Indie Soap Awards, I think you guys would do a terrific job with the Daytime Emmys (if given proper time & support, of course).
ReplyDeleteThe ISA had a wonderfully irreverent, raucous and uncensored feel but it was also intimate. Even though the Daytime Emmys have a more staid feel, I think it should also be intimate. Now that there are only 4 Daytime Dramas left on TV, having a large affair no longer makes sense, IMO. I think they should have a staid, upscale ceremony but in an intimate location and stream it on the web, where like the ISA people can click on at a specific date time and upload the video of the ceremony.
I have no clue how these things come together but SFN/We Love Soaps are such a passionate force for Soaps, I have no doubt the ceremony would be in good hands. But a smaller, more intimate web broadcast would be great. And even cancelled Soaps like ATWT/GL could still have honorees for Lifetime Achievement Awards. Elizabeth Hubbard, Kathryn Hays and Eileen Fulton (if she's not been given such due) are 3 people I'd like to see honored.
Haven't a clue about the Game Shows/Children's Programming & Talk Shows/Service Shows, I admit.
