Breaking News From Soap Opera Digest (but don't stop the presses on my account; it's not that exciting)
UPDATE: Daytime Emmy Broadcast
CBS has confirmed that the Tiffany Network will indeed broadcast the 38th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards live on Sunday, June 19 at the Las Vegas Hilton. In a statement, David McKenzie, executive producer and ATI president said, "We are delighted to be working again with NATAS [National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences] and CBS after last year's great success. Daytime television continues to be a dominant force in the industry and we're proud that we're bringing this special night honoring the daytime community to a wide television audience." Nominations will be announced on May 11.

I'm just glad it's going to be televised. I hate that soaps get the short end of the straw on most things. Those guys/gals work their butts off and deserved to be honored. I will definately be watching!

The last couple years, they squeezed in some soap opera awards between Dick Clark, Broadway, Vanessa Williams, and actors nonprofit work. I think I saw Bo.

^^ That's what I was thinking when I read the quote about soaps being a "dominant force in the industry".... it would be nice if they would even let soaps be the "dominant force" on their own awards show... I found last year's show extremely frustrating because of the "domination" of everything but daytime/soaps.  |

I've never watched the Emmy's, but I will definitely be tuning in this year.

Yeah, the Daytime Emmy's definitely aren't what they used to be. Instead of all the garbage they do in between awards, I'd rather see more clips from the best soap, actor, actress categories, etc. Didn't they used to have something called the Soap Opera Awards back in the day? I seem to recall some other award show that was solely for the soaps. Am I going crazy or does anyone else remember this? Usually I like to dvr this sort of show but since I started posting on the boards I like to do both at the same time so that means watching live! ;D I'll have to bargain with my husband on that one....we have a general rule that you can't be in control of the tv and the computer at the same time. Let's see, what can I bribe him with.....  |

^^ I'm convinced that multiple TVs and computers is the key to peace in the modern household.  You bring up another good point Sparkster, maybe we should have our own little awards night gala here - view it live and serve lots of dirty martinis (in honor of Nicole) and whatever else we can raid from the Dimansion.  |

Husband and I have to bargain when I do the daily summaries too. He goes upstairs and plays Black Ops on the xbox with the kids for an hour. he cannot stand the stopping, watching, typing, pausing, rewinding, etc. LOL
