Can someone explain to me how an ABC/NBC vote bloc would get DAYS the win over AMC on that idea alone? Wouldn't the fact that ABC has 3 soaps on the air mean that AMC would be in the lead over DAYS?
Again, just considering the vote bloc idea and I am curious.
I honestly can't make predictions until we know what was submitted. Drama Series, Lead Actor and Lead Actress are particularly difficult until the tapes are viewed. All 10 of the Supporting candidates are worthy, but Irizarry and Braun are the best actors in their category and both due for an Emmy for both their shows and body of work over the years.

my theory and i'm sorry for not explaining it is that with the tapes they have DOOL has a better chance of winning, so perhaps they would agree to vote for DOOL and vote for some of AMC's actors.
I just have this strange DOOL feeling right now.
Praying The Daytime Emmys air on TV in 2010!

my guesses on who will win, based on prediction, storyline, actor popularity, etc:
DRAMA SERIES
All My Children
WRITING TEAM
General Hospital
DIRECTING TEAM
One Life to Live
OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS
Jeanne Cooper
OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR
Anthony Geary
OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Bree Williamson
OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR
Jacob Young
OUTSTANDING YOUNGER ACTRESS
Kirsten Storms
OUTSTANDING YOUNGER ACTOR
Cornelius Smith Jr.
now for who SHOULD win
drama series: days of our lives
against other soaps probably not, but against these 2 soaps, it has a good chance and does deserve a win, waaaaaaay overdue
Outstanding Lead Actress: Debbi Morgan or Susan Haskell
Outstanding Lead Actor: ( anyone but anthony Geary. haha ) Daniel Cosgrove is probably the most deserving here, but Peter Reckell deserves a win as well if he submitted the episode from his father's death.
Outstanding supporting actress: tamara Braun
Outstanding supporting actor: Van Hansis
Outstanding younger actress: rachel Melvin
outstanding younger actor: Blake Berris or Darin Brooks
Yea call me biased, but all of Days of our lives nominations this year are deserved, unlike last years, and if they won, they would be deserved wins, last year would have been a crock if they won any, except for in the younger categories.

Not seeing any of the tapes, here is who I think will win
Best show: AMC Lead Actor: Thorsten Kay AMC Lead Actress: Debbie Morgan AMC Outstanding Supporting Actress: Tamara Braun DAYS Outstanding Supporting Actor: Jeff Branson GL Outstanding Younger Actress: Kirsten Storms GH Outstanding Younger Actor: Blake Berris DAYS
my wins..... lead actor-leblanc lead actress-flannery supporting actor-anderson supporting actress-pinson younger actor-mcclure younger actress-o'brien drama series-amc
Loving the love for Braun and Storms. But why so much love for LeBlanc (whom I admit I do like) and not Reckell? Am I the only one who finds him totally due for a win? Or is two major wins for DAYS (L Actor, S Actress) just wishful thinking?

Lack of love for Days of Our Lives' Peter Reckell is based on predictions. I don't see it happening for Reckell not because of the actor but the fact that we have not seen a first-time nominee win the lead-actor Emmy since 1983 (credit: One Life to Live's Bob Woods).
DRAMA SERIES All My Children Bold & The Beautiful Days Of Our Lives
Now I know some of you are probably saying "of course Scoopster will pick DAYS OF OUR LIVES...duh" but hear me out. I feel that DAYS could snag the award because they the competition is weaker this year. Moreover, DAYS submitted what could be argued as the best episode among the 3 nominated with the well recieved plane crash event. Also it appears that daytime is trying to send a message with its nominations for DAYS this year. It is widely known that DAYS barely escaped the chopping block from NBC and despite losing 50% of its buget, it is still doing well ratings wise and is the only soap up versus last year. The daytime industry might be thinking that a emmy win for Drama Series will protect the show a little longer. Also it appears that DAYS block voted with ABC, which means it likely got votes from all 3 ABC soaps. However, I feel like DAYS has an edge over AMC here because it is likely that the Sony/Bell soaps probably cast votes for DAYS as well. IMO the award probably hinges on which soaps DAYS voted for in Drama Series, if DAYS votes AMC then it could be a nail biter. I really feel like Drama Series is gonna go to DAYS or AMC...one of them will get it. DAYS would make the bigger headlines with its win since it has not won since the 1970's and what a headline that would make for the show.
---
The rest of the categories I will just predict who I THINK will win.
OUTSTANDING WRITING TEAM All My Children The Bold and the Beautiful General Hospital One Life to Live
-Writers only vote here and I think for sure that Carlivati will win this once again.
OUTSTANDING DIRECTING TEAM All My Children Days of Our Lives One Life to Live
Despite the win for OLTL at the DGA's, DAYS I think will snag this one. DAYS has one of the best directing teams and I think the Plane Crash episodes were the best directed episodes in daytime last year. DAYS DGA nomination probably helped them get a nom here.
OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTRESS Debbi Morgan - All My Children Maura West - As the World Turns Susan Flannery - The Bold and the Beautiful Susan Haskell - One Life to Live Jeanne Cooper - The Young and the Restless
With all of their acting nominations, AMC is bound to win won and Debbi Morgan is a very respected actress in the industry who helped lift AMC out of a huge slump with her return. Moreover, she has IMO, the best material among all of those in this category. If Susan Flannery or Jeanne Cooper win this category I will ****ing shoot myself in the head!!! Susan Haskell is the only other deserving nod. West is a wasted nomination here.
OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR Thorsten Kaye - All My Children Peter Reckell - Days of Our Lives Anthony Geary - General Hospital Daniel Cosgrove - Guiding Light Christian LeBlanc - The Young and the Restless
As a HUGE Peter Reckell fan I would like nothing more than to see him shock and win Lead Actor, but once again the daytime community will reward overactor Christian LeBlanc...besides Y&R cannot leave emmy night empty handed I am praying with every ounce in my body that Anthony Geary does not win. OMG that would ruin my night...AGAIN!
OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTRESS Melissa Clare Egan - All My Children Alicia Mishew - All My Children Julie Pinson - As the World Turns Tamara Braun - Days of Our Lives Bree Williamson - One Life to Live
Braun is the strongest actress in this category. She had the best material among all the ladies here and she is well liked in the industry. She has 3 soaps supporting her in this race (DAYS, AMC & GH). I truly feel like Braun will get it...if not her, than I think Pinson will walk away with it. Pinson has proven she is a very capable actress and she has support from all over the place (at ABC due to her being on PC) from DAYS and now from ATWT (and probably GL). Really anyone but Alicia Minshew!
OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR Vincent Irrizary - All My Children Jacob Young - All My Children Van Hansis - As the World Turns Bradford Anderson - General Hospital Jeff Branson - Guiding Light
Van Hansis made the transition from younger to supporting in back to back years. He has the strongest material to submit and is a proven great actor. Hard to say with this one...I would love to see Irizarry win...he is WAY overdue!
OUTSTANDING YOUNGER ACTRESS Meredith Hagner - As the World Turns Rachel Melvin - Days of Our Lives Kirsten Storms - General Hospital Julie Berman - General Hospital Emily O'Brien - The Young and the Restless
This one is going to Rachel Melvin or Kirsten Storms. Storms gets a makeup nod for last year. Melvin has the strongest tapes to submit. It is gonna be close between Melvin and Storms...outside chance for Berman. No chance for O'Brien or Hagmen. The transplant story is the reason why Peter Reckell and Melvin both got nominated. Moreover, Melvin has proven to me she is the strongest younger actress on this list and was ROBBED of a win last year!
OUTSTANDING YOUNGER ACTOR Cornelius Smith Jr. - All My Children Darin Brooks - Days of Our Lives Blake Berris - Days of Our Lives EJ Bonilla - Guiding Light Bryton McClure - The Young and the Restless
Cannot call younger actor just because of the atrocities that have occurred in other years. Blake Berris is by an ABSOLUTE mile the most deserving in this category and if the voters truly went the way of material, Berris has this in the bag. If not Berris then Bland.ryton McClure will once again win due to having Y&R backing. Berris is the strongest here though. Brooks is nothing special and same goes for the other two nominees.
