Without a doubt, this years big snub was RACHEL MELVIN. yes jennifer landon is good, but give me a break, she did not deserve 3 in a row, this should have been melvin's year, she earned it, damn popularity contest, but at least melvin got nominated, that's an honor in itself, but she still deserved to win.
2nd biggest snub of the evening:
Van hansis
3rd biggest snub of the evening:
Crystal Chappell
4th biggest snub of the evening:
David Canary
5th biggest snub of the evening:
Darin Brooks
6th snub of the evening ( not necessarily gonna say big to this one )
Thaao Penghlis
yea i know alot of you are probably shaking your head wondering what i am thinking, but he did deserve his nomination, and if they had shown more of the clip from the clown episode, it was good, he plays a really good creep.
lets hear yours.

The two biggest SNUBS of the night were in Lead Actor and Lead Actress. Lead Actor was a 2-horse race with David Canary and Christian LeBlanc. I prefered Canary but will not deny how great LeBlanc was (in his first submitted tape anyway). Lead Actress, tapes-wise, belonged to Nicole Forrester. I'm not even a big fan of hers - didn't even have her predicted for the nomination - but her tapes were classic soap acting. But...Maybe her day will come and la Cooper finally has an Emmy. Come to think of it, you can add Rachel Melvin to this list.
The rest I can't call "snubs" as much as I can call "disappointments." OLTL shouldn't have submitted the prom episode for Best Drama; GH submitted the best. I am a big fan of KMH and really wanted her to branded Emmy winner; Tognoni submitted well. I was very sad Van Hansis lost, but he screwed up his submissions.
The only justifiable acting winner was Kristoff St. John.
I'm just glad OLTL won Writing and Directing. I have something to be happy about!
(The talk show winners sucked too!)

Biggest Snub was Guiding Light in Drama Series. Tammy's funeral was the finest single hour of TV. Sadly, it aired 24 hours before what would end up being the Emmy-winning GH submission.
The end of that episode was riveting to see the car go off the cliff. I was glued to my chair. GL is like fine wine, and GH is well...General Mobspital.
2nd Biggest Snub was Dr. Phil in favor of Tyra Banks and her "big...fat...bootylicious...ass". Dr. Phil's show will remain Emmy-less.
3rd Biggest Snub was David Canary (where the heck was he?) for Anthony Geary. The wrong person won their 6th Lead Actor Emmy.

It hard to talk about snubs because of the process, but man this system drives me crazy. Knowing that The Tyra Banks Show and The Rachael Ray Show and General Hospital and Jennifer Landon and so on and on can just pick out an episode or two that's a thousand times better than what they were doing for the rest of the year and win Emmys for it just burns me up.
