[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 273265, member: 27"] It leads one to wonder if he's being denied recognition for his acting as the show tries to bury/forget that whole storyline with the mannequin. Granted, the plot will go down in soap infamy alongside Erica's UnAbortion, Marlena possessed by the devil, and Casey the Alien....but the actors involved should not be punished for the writing. Maybe they could install a new category: Best Sport, an award for an actor who does the best with what they're given. I have seen so little of the soaps other than GH that I cannot really argue one actor (or show) against another. So I can say who I like most, who I think deserves that kind of recognition. In the Leading Actress category, I feel like Genie Francis is the sentimental favorite, and has a lot of good material to be judged on. While I like Finola Hughes overall, her material has not been spectacular, and she spent a long period of time off the show. The interminable Peter August story has sent Anna Devane down with the ship, so to speak. The show seemed hell-bent on giving Nancy Lee Grahn Emmy-bait stories all year long, so she does not lack ammunition (or talent). I just feel like her stuff was more showcase-y and intentional, as opposed to the unpretentious daily stuff Genie Francis did and does. In Lead Actor, I have to confess Maurice Benard is not my cup of tea, and the show's insistence on having Sonny dominate the show for so long makes me long for the days (2012-2015 or so) when he was less prominent. He is another recipient of the Emmy Bait/Look At Me stories that eat up all the screentime. I hope that sort of over-exposure does not get rewarded, because then they'll have him on even more! Steve Burton's nomination mystifies me, since Jason is as robotic and emotionless as he's ever been. And as likeable as Dominic Zamprogna is, he does not belong in the Lead category. More later....
