Emmy Consideration

I confused something the other day when I mentioned that Frank Welker had received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Daytime Emmys…but you couldn't see that moment because the Daytime Emmys for this year are untelevised. Let me try and straighten things out…

The Daytime Emmy Awards are so vast in numbers that they present them in two shows. Some were handed out on Friday at the Daytime Creative Arts Emmy® Awards ceremony and some on Saturday at the Daytime Emmy® Awards ceremony. The Friday one is where Frank's statuette was presented and I don't think this one is ever televised. Also presented at this event were all the other animation-related Emmys.

For the last decade or two, the main ceremony has been televised but not this time. You can however view it on this page. If you do watch, you'll see a lot of folks who work on soap operas getting excited and there's a nice Lifetime Achievement Award presentation to Sonia Manzano of Sesame Street. There's also an "In Memoriam" reel which does not include our friend Joe Alaskey, who won the 2004 Daytime Emmy for Best Performance by an Actor on an Animated Series. The Emmy Awards have never shown much love for people whose faces are not well known.
