Daytime Emmys! Why It Means So Much!

Wednesday, June 23, 2010

I am absolutely appalled by the was the Daytime Emmys have been treated. It's almost like they aren't that important in the long run. But they are. If not to the actors them, but to the fans. A whole night to honor our favorites in the work they do on a daily basis. We as fan spent more time and share more with these fictions character and couples then we do with friends or family sometimes. We grow to love them and get crushed when our favorite break up or a favorite gets killed off. And I know its worth the heart ache of watching you favorite couple fight and break up, only to find their way back. Or to watch your favorite character get stomped on every day, only to rise up again and prove they are stronger then one thinks.

Daytime TV isn't about the crazy plot lines or the he said she said, it's about the being able to connect to the characters, to the storylines. To enjoy something so forbidden when you can't do it yourself. To feel the rush of an affair, that you know you would never do yourself. It's a way to step outside of your comfort zone and enjoy something no thinking, no one to tell you you can't. Just to do something out of the ordinary and not have to worry about what other people think. A way to send messages to parents and teens and people. Show them right and wrong. Teach them when things look a certain way that there isn't just one way out. That there is hope and you can find a way to prevail. And all while they entertain the viewers.

And to me it seems as if the daytime Emmy's go. The next thing that will go will be the soaps. I mean we've already lost two the matter of the year (Even though the second doesn't go off the air till September), but if it seems if we can't have one night, one night to celebrate and honor the hard working actors and actresses, not to mention the people behind the scenes. Then it's almost saying like no one really cares about these shows, why even bother? I mean Primetime Emmys they will go all out for all the Primetime shows. Movies, They'll go all out for those two. Not to mention the other award shows, like Teen Choice awards, Peoples Choice Awards, MTV Music and Movies awards. All those other awards shows, that honor Music, Movies and TV shows. They go all out for these things. But Daytime Emmys? They wren't even sure a station was going to even air them.

And I'm sure if a station didn't pick it up, they'd still have the Emmys, but were is the excitement in that? You wait till the posted on a website, or the actors tweets about it.. or even wait till they are posted in the Soap magazine a week after the fact. To me it doesn't seem like it has the same thrill, as if you were watching it live. Getting to see your favorite star win that Emmy. Plus unless your there yourself you miss out on the speeches, the moments that make you go WTF? And the moments that make you remember why you watch in the first place. It's the moment you remember the most, that will be taken away from the fans.

This year? Now after the great debate of who would air the Emmys, we have will there be a Red Carpet show? And very sad to know the only Red Carpet show this year will be brought to you by the interview. If their was Primetime or a Movie awards ceremony you could bet there would be a Red Carpet show on the TV before hand. Is it really that hard to air a Red Carpet show before the Emmys? Show the Stars as the are on their way to enter the place of the awards. And having people talking about the Emmys and who the actors think will take home the Emmy? And not to mention when you actually get to see the stars and what the are wearing. Because unless they are presenting, hosting or winning you don't get to see them much at all. Let along what they are wearing. And all the stars dressed up and part of the Emmy night.

It just doesn't seem right that the Daytime Emmys are being treated so poorly. These actors work hard to put on a show for five days out of the week. And week Just about ever week day, but yet one night that is all about them, seems to be worked out as if it's nothing that important. It's important to the actors and people behind the scenes... and to the fans.
