Hillary B Smith Wins Her Daytime Emmy Award

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

Truer words were never spoken! The quality of soaps, the excitement, the depth, the care, the range - gone, all gone!!!

[@glachhu]

Fully deserved for Hillary B. Smith. I had chills during that episode. She is amazing!

[@amazinghbs]

She's one of the most under rated actresses in daytime. There have been so many times I've thought she's been ROBBED. Its really a travesty that she's only won once and been nominated only one other time. Makes no sense to me. Hillary's AMAZING!!

[@W81Researcher]

She was on a kooky show that's why. OLTL was often overlooked because of its over the top camp and of course it's hard to get nominated when you are competing with Erika Sleazak and KDP for prenoms, not that she's not better than the latter and even Robin Strasser. And voters started snubbing Erika like crazy because she always won. If there were not 8 nominations in 05 she would have only five Emmys. That Emmy probably goes to Susan Flannery who ties her.

[@TimsDale4ever]

This was the period of time when it was a JOY to watch the emmys where they actually showed a fuc-ing clip of a nominee. Imagine that! And the nominees back then were truly leading ladies and gentlemen. Today's nominees leave me scratching my head. Daytime is already well behind its glory days.

RIP David Canary!

That was a great year for OLTL. They won 4 well deserved Daytime Emmys that night. Too bad they didn't win for best show to go along with winning Best writing, but that tends to happen.

[@dontreldontrel416]

I think Victoria Wyndham should have been nominated that year she did very well Rachel and Carl from Another World. Linda was very great

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

Amazing to think of those wonderful actors bringing Llanview to life for so many years in a dingy little windowless basement studio in New York City! Your blood sweat and tears won't be forgotten by your audiences!

[@miggy25]

Fiona Hutchison was AMAZING as Jenna Bradshaw on GL...watching that scene with her and Roger Thorpe gave me chills...Hillary B. Smith was wonderful that year....I think that was the year Todd terrorized her at the beach house when she was blind too--just chilling...it's a shame Hillary hasn't won since

[@TimsDale4ever]

Love, love, love it at 2:32 where you can see my DARLING Kathryn Hays from ATWT -- ANOTHER actress that was never honored for her amazing work in the 70's, 80's, and 90's -- that is when this show wasn't afraid to have an "older" actress in FRONT of the camera as it just might scare off an 18 year old air head viewer. I also didn't realize Miss Widdoes (another great actress) was ever nomintaed in the lead role. Her performances on ATWT were simply magnificent also!

[@W81Researcher]

KH was in her late 50s here. Currently almost 70 year old MTS is front burner and I'm sure Laura Wright isn't going to the bb anytime soon.

[@robertacosta1965]

Loved the voice of the man who announced nominees

[@nellieinmadtown]

Back when daytime television was decent. Now you can count the number of soaps on one hand!

[@dontreldontrel416]

I miss Another World so bad. And Guiding Light as well. I think NBC picked the wrong show. Another World should still be here

[@AyatollahPez]

Bo & Nooooraaaaa! :(

[@markc3393]

I love her! she screams Preppy Handbook!

[@GenXorcist1976]

I was shocked she wasn't even NOMINATED the year that she found out the truth about Daniel Coulson... I was SURE that scene of her confronting him as he was being sworn in (after just realizing he'd killed Jen) was going to clinch the Emmy. Not EVEN a nom. What a waste!!

[@W81Researcher]

At that time it was no surprise given OLTL quality. It stood out way different than any of the other soaps lighting wise. It only really beat the NBC soaps at the time. Also, someone did get a nomination for that year and won for OLTL. I do not need to even say her name.

[@GenXorcist1976]

@@W81Researcher I don’t even remember what I was talking about…. 😂 I wrote that so long ago. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@W81Researcher]

​@@GenXorcist1976yeah I see that. Frons influence on the ABC shows soured voters.

[@tudorjason]

Why don't they show the acting nominated scenes during the Daytime Emmys anymore?

[@tammyramey]

As a major Julia Barr fan, I thought Hillary B. Smith deserved the win. She was REMARKABLE.

[@dontreldontrel416]

i thought Linda should have won

[@robertacosta1965]

Fiona hutchison was soo good but Hilary B smith was amazzzinggg

[@dontreldontrel416]

Linda was great as well

[@maddieramsell]

she deserved to win this year. I mean i am a huge fan of Days, but that was a good year for oltl.

[@stevenelson7681]

Is that Peter Simon from Guiding Light sitting behind her?

[@dpodsful]

Deserved. Wish Fiona Hutchison could have won an Emmy at some point. Why was her brilliant soap opera existence relatively short-lived?

[@chocolatemuffin21]

dpodsful well said. 👏👏👏

[@gryphonbreckstein]

Hillary is better and she’s my step cousin

[@Cocodan-jn5md]

LINDA DANO HAS ALWAYS BEEN A FASHIONISTA.

[@dontreldontrel416]

i love her.

[@AyatollahPez]

hahahahahah CARLO HESSER!

[@taup6992]

Adam Chandler😍

[@ryinthesky9]

Fiona Hutchinson was lucky she didn't win - that dress was out of control!

[@themirrorsofmymind]

Here is the full scene where "Nora" desperately tries to convey the truth to the jurors in "Todd, Zach, and Powell's" rape case... kzbin.info/www/bejne/g163aKpmnbSesNU

[@melmingin8445]
