Soap Opera Uncensored: Issue 15 Read online

EMMY WATCH 2012

  UNCENSORED’S DREAM BALLOT

  With less soaps on the ballot and new rules, will NATAS finally get it right? If the Academy has no clue — follow this cheat sheet!

  They want to be aired this year (producer Jim Romanovich stated on Twitter recently his production company, AMI, has no plans on producing this year’s telecast), but a ceremony will still be held, damn it!

  Today is the deadline for actors to chose their Emmy reels, and since UNCENSORED has helped a bunch of actors choose their best work, we have an idea what will be judged.

  Below is our dream ballot… even if some of the actors listed are not submitting themselves for contention (like Y&R’s Maura West, for instance).
