Maurice Benard Wins Best lead Actor at the Emmys !!!

At the 2003 daytime Emmys , he won FINALLY! he should have won before :)
well deserved , go maurice !

[@tangled55]

How on Earth has he only one once. People love him, and his work CLEARLY speaks for itself...in any form of entertainment. He's a legend.

[@neosoulchick76]

I sooooo agree!! Loooove him.:):)

[@kevinmansell8746]

he gives his all in Sonny i love him bunches

[@angelacurry2710]

His second win was last night finally!!!!

[@amiehampton867]

@@angelacurry2710 And he won his third award too this year.

[@miggy25]

I love how even when Erika Slezak read Maurice's name she said it with such an excitement for him...she knew how much and how long he deserved an Emmy win....this was so long overdue

[@ravishingelite]

when he smiles i smile and get chills those dimples... *swoon*

[@greenleo111]

He deserves way more than one Emmy win! He's a phenomenal actor. I LOVE that he thanks Tamara Braun (ex-Carly)! I thought Maurice and Tamara had the best chemistry as Sonny and Carly. And I read that Maurice actually called Tamara Braun his "acting soulmate" in an interview! Love this.

[@johnmarlena4ever]

Maurice really deserved it! He's a really,really great actor!

[@miggy25]

I was shocked that this was Maurice's first Emmy...Should've won so many more...was so happy for him

[@cadillacdeville5828]

Good lord he's handsome. I ALWAYS LOVED HIM

[@EmmieClassix]

Vanessa looks SO happy for Maurice :D

[@sarakennedy2633]

the fact he didn't win before this or after just ugh no. it's a testament to how good he is and how loved that there's SCREAMING from the moment his name is announced until the end, he's so LOVED.

[@JasonMorgansGirl]

General Hospital has the BEST CAST ever...I love Maurice Benard...Sonny & Jason are my FAVORITE characters EVER...They are the best and most talented actors EVER!

[@rosesheehan7479]

He should win every year he is amazing. I cried so hard hen he won!

[@jackieschlagenhauf8770]

I agree I have been for 23 yrs he is best my favorite male daytime actor.

[@tarawhite8873]

I love when the crowd goes wild

[@whiteshell1]

He didn't thank Vanessa or Steve, the two that rocketed him into stardom.

[@Nicki9202]

this was so deserve for Maurice he is such an intense actor and he has passion and hopefully he will get another emmy

[@uploader06]

the applauses were HUGE , oh my god ..He was like God ..and it's that loud on TV..imagine how REALLY Loud it is for those in there.

[@tah3579Z]

The crowd goes crazy.

[@ghlover2001]

i remember this. he deserved to win it b4, but i was glad he won it in '03. i was jumping up and down. the crowd reaction was INSANE. the chants of "maurice...maurice" LOL gh has the best fans EVER in general and especially at the emmy's. just listen to them thru the years whenever gh wins anything. GREAT STUFF!

[@cards0486]

Maurice has deserved that award in other years. The year of the 'bi-polar' storyline he was BRILLIANT!! The fact that he didn't win that year was robbery. Sonny Corinthos can be cold, and hard. But, he can turn around and rip your heart out. Maurice is a true treasure on GH.

[@lindaholton4507]

Love him in every Show he does love bab !!♥️♥️♥️

[@lindaholton4507]

A Treasure he is I’ve watched him on his other show he’s awesome and amazing have you seen it I’m his number one fan ♥️♥️♥️

[@CantStayAway]

WE LOVE YOU MAURICE!!!!!!

[@charlenegordon1057]

Look at Maurice, amazing actor

[@PhloeFanSince2000]

Congradulations!!! Maurice Benard!!!! I'm one of your biggest fans you're the best!!!

[@katjamendez]

@johnmarlena4ever absolutely, i think maurice helped vanessa a lot with her acting. she ALWAYS credits him for that. but i think vanessa made maurice's character popular. i fell in love with sonny through the eyes of brenda, if that makes sense. theirs was a lethal combination!

[@whiteshell1]

katjamendez you're right. Sonny wouldn't have been as popular as he was if not for the Sonny/Brenda pairing. He was a sleazy mob boss before her and that's how he was suppose to stay because it was only suppose to be for a short time but that pairing kept him on. And then of course Sarah Brown as Carly took it over the top with their pairing (she actually made me like Sonny) and it's been Sonny and Carly pretty much ever since. BUT his ultimate pairing that can't ever be tested, never be beat and no woman can ever touch, is Jason.

[@shortcake99]

Maurice is the best!!

[@johnmarlena4ever]

It amazes me that MB haven't won more than one Emmy, I hope he wins this year(2011)! GH is the best!! There is a few others that I more than surprised that they haven't won or even got an nomination(Until this year);)

[@MilwaukeeIrishJoe]

I love how he stood up right away like he knew his name was about to be called. So confident and SO SEXY.

[@livieaunt]

I just loved that he won, I hope he wins again!!!!

[@SiddhiVaishnav]

I love GH's screamsss & ESPECIALLY for Maurice! I LOVE HIM! :)

[@TheLuscious]

Daytime Emmys are not decided based on popularity but the reel submitted

[@TheLuscious]

The one time Maurice beat Tony Geary head to head.

[@miggy25]

I loved Erika presenting this award...she really adds a certain class to the proceedings...and you could tell how happy she was that Maurice finally won

[@chiefredwater1965]

I am a guy and I like him. He is the BEST actor on TV.....Amazing!!!!

[@italianbaby307]

Maurice is amazingg!!

[@jennhunt1996]

It still gives me chills every time. I am so glad he won!!! It's like he came full circle. He came on in '93 and won in '03. It should not have taken 10 years to give him an Emmy but I sm so glad that he finally got it!! They are trying to recast Brenda so please sign the No Brenda Recast Petition.

[@princeaferd]

he is one of the best

[@antonytorres5923]

Ladies love some Maurice

[@monikamoocz4954]

Amaxing actor and human

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

I love how Robin Christopher has her hands raised and clasped hoping for Maurice to win!

[@eh1920]

This was a great moment!

[@tarawhite8873]

I can look and tell that anthony geary was rooting for maurice to win

[@sarakennedy2633]

their really good friends. in 2004 Anthony said Maurice was robbed because tony won instead if him.

[@tarawhite8873]

I agree maurice should have won in 2004 also

[@bleuskye8124]

I absolutely love all these characters. All these actors are amazing.

[@calientechic08]

Maurice is oh so fine. Damn he's so fine.

[@lindaholton4507]

Absolutely true 🙏♥️🙏

[@NJPrinc3]

LOL very fitting song for the woman who plays Victoria Lord, she was "Every Woman"!!!

[@queenlaurie]

yay!!!! He should win a hundred of these! Go Maurice!

[@reginadeniseclarke8358]

Congratulations

[@saraflint2982]

The one and only Sonny!

[@wendyburke2210]

The man the myth the legend !!!!!!

[@wendyburke2210]

I love how he loves his wife !!! They are truly the epitome of a super couple !!!!

[@DeSpecial]

Man I remember this, amazing, and everyone new that he deserved it.

[@lindaholton4507]

He deserves it ♥️♥️♥️

[@mrsjerz]

OMG! I know every freakin time they drive me nuts!!!

[@djroxanne4429]

loved Thorsten on AMC and hes a Detroit Wings fan!!

[@aparnak]

I cry every single time I see this video

[@ashli674]

Not many people of color win at the Emmys, primetime and daytime. It's fantastic when they do. :)

[@johnmarlena4ever]

GH has the best cast!! GH is the best!

[@treybelcher848]

johnmarlena4ever not no more!

[@mumymusic]

He looked a bit nervous, but very happy! Go Maurice!

[@ChristopherIGomes]

I think he meant if it ain’t on a page it ain’t on a stage...

[@MilwaukeeIrishJoe]

damn he's a fine looking man

[@gwenmarie7311]

Oh how i miss Guiding light❤😢👍

[@erikakitchen8998]

he finally won another one may of 2019. Go Maurice.

[@tarawhite8873]

Its been about what 16 years since he won back in 2003

[@michellesolazzo1009]

He rocked himself to stardom

[@tah3579Z]

He better win it in 2012 also.

[@clase406marcela1]

i hate it when they put tony against maurice they both are amazing actors!

[@NerO0O1]

Love them pixels

[@lerochka77]

Those were the Emmys......not what they have now

[@katjamendez]

me thinks vanessa is maurice's good luck charm. he first shot to fame after being paired with her, then wins an emmy when she returns to the show.

[@kimberlywhitehead22]

Correction.... He was famous on AMC

[@LOTRDX]

I can just hear all the GH fans through this.

[@johnmarlena4ever]

@katjamendez Yes,that's true. I saw an interview with Vanessa were she said that when she first started at GH, she wasn't a good actress, Maurice had told her "you're cute,but a bad actresse,so if we are going to do this lovestory,you have to become a better actress" Vanessa said that he told her that when they meet on set:p So I guess he helped her;) and they both became popular (I'm not a big Brenda fan,but I like Vanessa)

[@fantagepenguin]

yes theres more emmys

[@CicKiz]

is that Emmy really so damn heavy he can't hold it?

[@margieadams7247]

Best Carly is Sarah Joy Brown by far!!! However Laura has definitely made it "her" role now.

[@kylas124]

@uploader06 I know did you hear them screaming sonny prior

[@DomFalance]

4:49 - EEEK! KILL IT! ;)

[@clase406marcela1]

@calypspoetry exactly

[@jennhunt1996]

Yep...GH created a spin-off show called Night Shift that aired on Soapnet. In the season finale, they show a woman built just like Brenda at the hospital. They only mention her last name. Jason is just looking at her with a 'no..that can't be..'look on his face.

[@katjamendez]

so sad maurice didn't shout out vanessa marcil -- or at least hug her en route to the stage. it was only after vanessa's character hooked up with maurice's that he became popular on GH.

[@Anime4Life35]

@blubeardgo lol I just got into soaps about 2 monthes ago and Sonny is cool and GH is great

[@hhhh-xb9py]

Should have wemt to rikki paul golden!

[@sertorrhenclegane]

What storyline did Maurice win for?

[@michellesolazzo7828]

He has 3

[@johnmarlena4ever]

@katjamendez Yeah,she credits him a lot for that. Yes, it does make sense even thought it's the complete opposite for me lol :p I started to dislike Sonny in scenes with Brenda, he became so boring, I rather have her with Jax or out of PC and Sonny with Carly :p and before you ask, no I didn't watch in the 90's (I'm from Sweden and born 91) lol But I've seen scenes and I'm not impressed by Brenda at all, but like I said I like Vanessa, because she's not Brenda =)

[@LOTRDX]

NO she's coming back. Vanessa is Brenda. Don't worry.

[@aneta5196]

It's a shame the kid was asleep!

[@eileenmcnichol2935]

Every other clip was better than his. He is so overrated; mumbles and cue cards!!!

[@jimorfanelli7671]

No body was better than Anthony Geary made it look so easy
