Emmy Needs a Home

Monday November 17, 2008

Can you imagine not witnessing a winning moment like Jeanne Cooper's (Katherine/Marge, Y&R) big win at the Daytime Emmy Awards last June? Unfortunately, that might happen.

At this point, nobody has laid claim to the 36th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony. ABC, CBS and SOAPnet have all announced that they won't be airing the show, despite this supposedly being CBS' year to host.

So does this mean we won't be able to watch our favorite Daytime stars get the recognition they so deserve? Not necessarily. The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is said to be in negotiations with two networks and two cable channels. Despite low ratings last year, it's hard to accept the Emmys are at risk. Hopefully the Powers-that-Be can get this all figured out in time.
