Daytime Emmy Awards Recap: Which Actors Took Home The Trophies???
Posted on 7:12 AM by jackline
I almost got all of my predictions right!!
Last night, the Daytime Emmy Awards were handed out (online that is, since the show wasn't broadcast on television) and I'm mighty happy with some of the winners.
Looking at the acting categories for the daytime dramas saw some surprises as well as some much needed winners!!
Let's start with Lead Actor in a Drama!!
The lucky winner was THANKFULLY Billy Miller from "Young & the Restless". Billy had submitted his scenes from the heartbreaking storyline that saw his TV daughter Delia killed in a car accident. Billy's scenes were absolutely gut-wrenching and he very much so deserved the accolade.
Now, on the flipside of that comes Supporting Actress in a Drama.
First time nominee and now winner Amelia Heinle took home her very first Emmy for her portrayal of Victoria, Billy's wife. I have always been a fan of Amelia's work, but if I'm being honest I think the award went to the wrong grieving woman. The Emmy SHOULD have gone to Elizabeth Hendrickson, who plays Chloe. Liz brought such an emotional punch to the role in the wake of Delia's death that I am still in shock that she didn't win last night.
Back to my proper predictions, and we get to Lead Actress in a Drama!!
Soap veteran Eileen Davidson took home the gold after her triumphant (and nutso) performance as Kristen on "Days of Our Lives". I firmly believe this was Kristin's to lose the second they announced the nominations. Watching Eileen navigate through all of Kristen's emotions during her nominated run was out of this world good and what soaps are made of.
I may have mistepped in the Supporting Actor category as well.
I had pegged "Young & the Restless" star Steve Burton to take home the gold but alas it was Eric Martsolf's year as Brady!!
In a lot of ways his win really works because of the magic him and Eileen created together. It's a tad confusing though that their story line put her into lead category and him into supporting. The "Days of Our Lives" hottie definitely worked his ass off to nab his first Emmy though.
Finally the Younger Actor/Actress awards.
Nobody else deserved the Younger Actor award then the now former Will Horton. Chandler Massey is VERY missed in the role and last night was the cherry on top to truly end his run. Let's all just ignore the massive error by the production team last night when they aired a clip of his replacement Guy Wilson instead of his own.
And finally the Younger Actress award going to "Y&R" star Hunter King as Summer Newman.
The young lady was absolutely exceptional this year, dealing with a very heavy paternity story line and being able to hold her own against some of her drama's biggest stars. She definitely has a long, Emmy career ahead of her.
The night capped off with "Young & the Restless" taking home Outstanding Drama Series and I couldn't see it any other way.
What did you guys think of the winners?? Happy or upset??
