Nation Ahead of Time And Space? National Association of Travel Agents Singapore?
edit: i got it eventually but google wasn't very helpful.

I just had to look up Bryton James' age because I could not believe he was still eligible for Younger Actor. I feel like he's been on that list for AGES.

Brandon Barash is not pre-nominated after his fantastic work regarding the (stupid) "my dad is in fact my grandpa and my mom was pregnant at 7". He was celebrated in every soap related magazine and blog about it and only Bradford is pre-nominated for GH in the supporting category? Are you kidding me?
What a joke... After the mess of the two last ceremonies I am certainly not going to watch this one...

was oltl eligable for nomination, if so did they take part? i know the show was just barely on in 2012 but i think awards are given based on specific reels. if they were nominated and i missed it then nevermind.

Once again, NO Florencia Lozano??? ARGHHHH!!!
And why are Lindsey Morgan and Freddie Smith on this list? Not Emmy-worthy in the LEAST! If either wins, I shall revolt!
Jason Thompson deserves some Emmy love, but he has practically no chance of besting Peter Bergman or Doug Davidson.
As much as I detest Cartoon Connie Falcoloony, I must admit that Kelly Sullivan has that Golden girl by the tail.....she might as well write her acceptance speech now!
Bryton James is 26, which means this is the last year he can submit himself as a YOUNGER actor, though he has no reason to submit himself since all Devon did last year was sass his pappy and show up to "support" Lame Lily and her silly marriage to Cane. He needs to stop submitting himself unless Y&R is gonna give him a REAL story.

I have to say, it's a pretty impressive list we have this year!
However: Where in the world is Eileen Davidson? I can't believe she didn't submit anything. Even though she just came on in October, she still had nearly three months worth of material she could have used. Sad
I agree that I can't believe Brandon Barash did not get a pre-nom. Outrage!
LOL @ Linsey Godrey and Lindsey Morgan on this list, haha.

Did Erika Slezak or Bob Woods even submit reels?? Kinda upset at no OLTL pre-noms....Apart from that, I'm rooting for Finola Hughes, Jason Thompson, Robin Mattson and Doug Davidson.

These lists look damn good to me. The only thing I am sure of though, is that Finola is a lock to be nominated between her scenes this year, and the wealth of friendships across the soap community.

I really want to see Robin Mattson win. Yes, Heather may be nuttier than a fruitcake but man, does Mattson sell that character. Besides, just think of the rampage "Heather" would go on if she is denied!

No Jane Elliott? Man, I wish she would have submitted herself for consideration as she was far and away my favorite actress the past year. Heather Tom for the win. She had the best material of the group of actresses and I'm sure will have the best reel. Susan Flannery is the only potential upset.
Jason Thompson should have the Lead Actor category locked up.
Robin Mattson should definitely take home the Supporting Actress Emmy.
None of the actors nominated in the Supporting Actor category made an impression on me.
Kate Mansi & Chandler Massey should win the Younger Actress and Actor Emmys.
Far too many of the actors who submitted themselves for Emmy consideration are either laughably bad performers (Lindsay Morgan, Lindsay Godrey, Kristen Alderson) or do not have material to warrant consideration (Nancy Lee Grahn, Christian LeBlanc, Stephen Nichols, Jeanne Cooper.)

I search on line for Bryton James age, and he is 26. I thought cut off age for Younger actor was 25?

I think Katherine Kelly Lang was very smart to submit her work for consideration in the Supporting Actress category. I think she'll land on the final ballot and a potential upset.

Laura Wright? Really?

The adorable little girl who plays Robin and Patrick's daughter, Emma deserves a nomination before Kristen Alderson and Lindsay Morgan!
The younger catergory really should be for performers under 18 or at the most 21. When was the last time someone actually won that was a kid like Jonathan Jackson and Kimberly McCullough did back in the day?

I really think Robin Mattson could be the spoiler of the group and I don't even watch GH all that much but from what I've seen, every scene she's been in, she's been the one that is most likely to drive the action of the scene.
Wouldn't at all be surprised if she took it.

i get it. they only had four soaps to choose from this year, so inevitably questionable people will make the cut - but, seriously, lindsey morgan (kristina - watch the scenes where joe scully is holding her hostage - they're laughable)? she mustn't make the final ballot, otherwise she'll think she can act!

If they changed the age, there would be virtually no one to submit! All of the pre-noms for the younger categories are already automatic because there are so few eligible to submit.

So few shows ......... What is the point? They could end up with all nominations from one show.

Christian Leblanc has always been a supporting actor Imo...

I don't consider Kelly Sullivan a lead. She should have been in supporting. And Jason Thompson is also not a lead and should have been in supporting where he would stand a real chance of winning. Two glaring omissions for me are Anthony Geary for lead and Jane Elliot for supporting!!! Both deserve to win in their categories in my opinion, so its a shame they did not submit themselves!!!!!

Can anyone explain the obsession with Bradford Anderson getting nominated for anything? John J. York was amazing when Robin died and when Felicia returned and being there for Maxie, or even Brandon Barash, but enough with Bradford.

some of these nominations are just bizarre, not just in terms of the categories that the actors chose to submit themselves in but in some cases for the utter lack of story that some of these people had. I mean LW is a phenomenal actress and im sure there was some epi - maybe the epi with the truth about johnny coming out - that was good but in terms of what she had from the full year standpoint it wasnt much. I love FH too but I would say the same, at least compared to say KeSul who had two personalities all year and KeMo who had all the rape/baby fall out. These characters were pretty much tortured this year so the actresses had plenty of material. I would say the same thing about Becky herbst, nancy lee grahn and Lisa L. - not the material that jane elliot had, and certainly not story compared to Robin M or JMB.
And yea, I think of jt as someone that was a lead but really hasnt been since KimM has left. If he had put in for supporting I think he would have been a lock. BA - another great actor who just didnt have the material this year.

In what UNIVERSE is Peggy McCay a LEAD actress on DAYS? Ridiculous.

I agree with soaphunks. Would have no problem seeing Peggy McCay in the supporting category, but lead? No.

@sassydreams, you are so right about all of it, except, I don't think Tony Geary did much this year, and he's won and been nominated so many times. Not that he isn't awesome, but in comparison to himself in previous years, there wasn't much meat to his story.
In addition, Lindsay Morgan getting nominated is also a joke! Let me shriek at the top of my lungs and call that acting. Also grateful the girl who plays Sabrina didn't get nominated.

Jeff - Thanks Jeff. I felt that Tony Geary had some really wonderful performances in 2012 but he chose not to submit himself for consideration. Probably because he has been nominated and won so many times and he wanted to give other actors a chance to experience the same honor. His scenes with Jane Elliot and while being held in the shed by Heather were outstanding!
And I totally agree about LM!!
