Emmy Fever:
Digest and Weekly Weigh In

Although the nominations for the 35th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will not be announced until April 30 live on THE VIEW, we here at Digest and Weekly are feeling the pre-Emmy fever and have generated our own predictions based on who we think should be nominated out of the pre-nominees. Some categories were tough to narrow down, so there are few in which we included six actors instead of the usual five. These are in no way official or affiliated with the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS).

Dumb SOW!!

SOD did a good job with their predictions. lol

SOW can suck it.

SOD gets a cookie though. I only care about two noms in there and both were present so I'm teh happy.

I'm not surprised about SOW.

I hope AM and TK both get nominated.

Yep. And I’ll give them some extra chocolate chips for including Tuc Watkins.

SOWTF is not my friend.

[SIZE=1] :bullshit :bullshit :bullshit ...

Lish was Robbed, and I'm not watching the show........This was her best year, and she doesn't even get looked at.......I hate this system, and ABC/DISNEY...........

Honestly.... I think everyone who works in Daytime was robbed. If those who are selected to vote can't both to watch all the submissions, then really, what is the point.

I think they should do away with the award show entirely.

That's a lot of red there, yo. Maybe they didn't get to go through all of the tapes either??
