Lucci Receives Another Chance Spurned 14 Times, Actress Nominated Again, But Cbs Leads Daytime Emmy List With 59
After a year off when she wasn’t even nominated, let the guessing game resume: Will this finally be Susan Lucci’s year to win an Emmy?
Conspicuously overlooked last year, the “All My Children” star is back among the nominees announced Wednesday for the 22nd-annual Daytime Emmy Awards. It is her 15th nomination. Fourteen losses have gone before.
Along with Lucci (for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series), the ABC soap landed 13 other nominations. That tied “All My Children” with ABC’s “General Hospital” and CBS’ “Guiding Light” for most nominations among all daytime programs.
PBS’ “Sesame Street” was next with 11. “The Young and the Restless” scored nine, “As the World Turns” got eight and the children’s series “Beakman’s World” received seven. All are on CBS.
“One Life to Live” (ABC), “Reading Rainbow” (PBS), “Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?” (PBS) and “The Writing on the Wall (CBS Schoolbreak Special)” each captured six nominations.
Overall, CBS led with 59 nominations; syndicators collected 47 nominations; ABC had 44; PBS, 40; NBC, 19; and the Fox network, 14.
The awards are voted by members of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
The awards telecast is set for May 19 on NBC.
