Van & Jake at the Daytime Emmys; Did Van win?

[gayweatherman23]

i thought this was last years 2009's Daytime Emmy Awards??

[jlhva09]

It's just like when Crash won for Best Picture at the Oscars instead of Brokeback Mountain in 2006. We were robbed-again

[iceskaterrn]

How could Gwen win and Van not? She is as dorky as when she played Cleo. She should've received a knome instead of the statue of the Emmy.

[TLBBPRO1]

O_O ooo~ she spoke french XD i never knew that!

[NinoOche57]

Diid he plays on the little house on the prairie ????

[Irylen]

I am so sorry that Van did not win, he so deserved it! He did a great job with Luke!

Sure he will win the next time.

And very glad for Jennifer and Ellen. They are both amazing!

[blondies101favhits]

when are they coming on in 2009

[neversleeps09]

like august 12 or something like that.

[yomismo74]

Well, Van is nominated again this year, this time in the supporting role cathegory. Congrats Van

[funkyfab10]

Did you notice at 3.27 Jake looks pissed.

Van HAD to win!! Oh...and 'BarnabasFrid' please go and fuck yourself.

[wwbuellerd]

This year he's probably going to be nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor. Hope the pre-noms are correct!! He deserves it and I think Jake totally deserves a nomination!

[smithcutie]

How did he not win!!!!!! WTF

[tarheel8494]

tom pelphrey from guiding light was actually pretty amazing...Van's great though...I also think Jake is pretty darned good.

[honeyshuu]

How many times has he been nominated? When will he win? His acting gets better everytime!

Oh and Ellen rocks =)

[bonesgrey]

Is it just me or did Van had the biggest applause of all 5 of them?

BTW Ellen and Portia are cute :))))

[tarheel8494]

fans in the balcony...

[octogirlpretty]

When they play the theme songs back to back like that, it really shows that ATWT has THE BEST, it sounds modern (unlike Days) and without cornball crap acoustics (TYATR,GL)

Maybe I'm biased because I only watch ATWT, but uh..no I don't think so =]

Van is sexy in his clip btw =]

[rRobitt]

when the first people are talking you van see hansis. =D

[BarnabasFrid]

Notice Jake wasn't nominated. He sucks.

[MsDaifan]

LOL

Van was the only one of the people who didn't win that WASN'T smiling after he heard he lost!!!

hahaha

aww. too bad he lost. he really deserved to win.

[ShizumasLover]

Sucks that Van lost. Good for Ellen, though. :)

[daprinceofblndez]

WTFFF VAN SHOULD HAVE WONNN!!

[NukeOakdale]

Here's a treat that's unrelated to Nuke: a link to the greatest Soap Movie ever made. I'm too young to have seen it theatrically but wept as a kid watching it TV. It had a huge budget, glamorous stars, and was shot in many countries. The story spans 20 years and is based on the French play, La Femme X. You'll see many soap themes, including the famous twist at the end.

I compressed from 800 megs to 90 megs so watch in a small window.

[margareta806]

he probably did win because he plays a gay character and ppl UNLIKE ME are homophobes

[NukeOakdale]

margareta806

> he probably did win

I think you meant "didn't win." :)

> because he plays a gay character and ppl

> UNLIKE ME are homophobes

Some people believe that homophobia was part of it. I'd like to believe that the Daytime Emmy people are more progressive. Their evening counterpart has embraced gay TV, giving multiple awards to gay-friendly shows like Will & Grace, ER, etc. And Ellen has won many Daytime Emmys. Then again, America is more accepting of lesbians than gay men.

[johnnyzaccharaloverr]

i think either jesse soffer(will) or van hansis(luke) should have won young actor ,

and rachel melvin(chelsea) should have won young actress

[IKAIKA12345678]

Is it just me or did Jennnifer Landon lose a lot of weight between her last stint on ATWT and here? Loved Jesse's confused/happy face when she was speaking French :)

[NukeOakdale]

> did Jennnifer Landon lose a lot of weight

> between her last stint on ATWT and here?

I noticed the same thing. Perhaps the ATWT makeup people made Jennifer look frumpy so that Gwen would seem more motherly? Jennifer looked fantastic here.

[MayLily]

I'm very disappointed in the Emmy "Academy". I just hope that Van gets another chance when he submits for supporting actor next year.

It looks like Ellen had no idea who Van and Jake were when they presented the award to her. Maybe she knows who they are now.

[blissfullycat02]

Van looked pretty cute in that orange shirt =D they are awesome! I wish Van had won, but we know who truly has the better fans :)

[zenzoon87]

You know, I just noticed at about 3:14, when you can see all the nominees in their boxes on the big screen, Van doesn't look disappointed, he's smiling and applauding.

It's such a shame he didn't win, I really thought that he would. Next year perhaps? From what I understand, would it have to be a different category?

Thanks for uploading!

Van's category came early. I included the female category as well. Van and Jake present for Best Talk Show Host at the end. Look at Van's face and tell me what he's thinking or feeling.

[NukeOakdale]

2:00 - Van's category: "Younger Actor Drama Series"

7:11 - Van and Jake present the Emmy for "Best Talk Show Host" Both seem unusually stiff -- especially Van who is great at public speaking. His voice also seems hoarse

7:35 - Van: "Let your guest SHINE" I don't know if you can see it, but Van has very weird shiny cheeks. Was he crying?

9:26 - I was disappointed that gay activist Ellen didn't acknowledge the contributions of Van and Jake to the gay community. They were right behind her.

[NukeOakdale]

Van was at somewhat of a disadvantage because the Young Actor category is only open to actors 25 and younger. Since Van turned 26 on Sept 21, 2007, scenes airing after his birthday were ineligible for submission. That disqualified some of Van's best work, i.e. the hospital scene where a single tear streaked down Luke's face. Luke was paralyzed and his world was falling apart. His parents were separating and Noah was alienated from his life. Luke was in despair.

omg! i didn't know that tammin sursok got an emmy nomination!!!!

sori, i'm australian... so i'm really proud of her!!

used to see her everyday on Home and Away when she was still a teenager... well, looks like she made it in hollywood!

on another note, happy for ellen degeneras and van hansis looks good in that orange shirt!

[Undiscovereddaisy]

Van was ROBBED!!!

But on the plus side, the boys looked crazy hottt and Jake was adorable when announcing Ellens name :D

[Penniegar]

I like it that Jake at 3.28 looks just as sad as Van does at 3.24 when Van doesn't win, he sat next to Jesse. Make's you wonder who he thought should have won.

[splashpont]

Van's looks great during the nomination's listing film at 2:45, and it should replace those horrible scenes during the ATWT promotionals.

[soothingecho17]

aw, well he's still number 1 to me

:)

[NukeOakdale]

soothingecho17

> aw, well he's still number 1 to me

I thought I was. And Chris and Ryan were second and third... You've insulted us so grieviously that we're considering a threesome without you.

[prettyuglypretty502]

i'm happy for you guys. SERIOUSLY. oh man. i'll be awake aaaaaallllll daaaaaayyyyy fycj

[Leiiilah]

It makes me so sad that Van seemed so disappointed :(

Hope Jake will console him :)

[NukeOakdale]

> It makes me so sad that Van seemed so

> disappointed :(

It might have especially tough because expectations seemed so high. And this was Van's last year for the "young" category. Plus Van sat next to his friend Jen Landon, who won her 3rd consecutive Emmy.

[lenee83]

Watching this years was like watching a repeat of last year.

Young actor: Van should have won.

Younger actress: Rachel Melvin should have won.

So unfair!!!

[NukeOakdale]

lenee83

> Watching this years was like watching a

> repeat of last year

Yeah, I just watched last year's scene submission again and don't understand how Van lost then either.  It was the tour-de-force airport confrontation against Damian. I remember watching winner Bryton's entry last year and felt that Van was the hands down winner. Then again, I'm hardly objective. :)

[accidentallymental]

where can i watch the full version of this and when did it actully air?

[NukeOakdale]

I have the full 2 hrs (90 mins without ads) on DVD but it's way too large to post or upload. It aired yesterday, 6/20/08, 8p-10p EST.

How come Jennifer Landon speaks in French?

"Pour mon père, toujours pour toi. Toujours. Je t'aime."

"For my father, always for you. Always. I love you."

[RiboflavinB2]

My Guess, her dad's french or speaks it!

[NukeOakdale]

Jag1366

> How come Jennifer Landon speaks in French?

> "Pour mon père, toujours pour toi.

> Toujours. Je t'aime."

Oo la la, you're turning me on with all that French... :)  Yeah, I thought it was strange since her father was the actor Michael Landon, known for his All-American roles in Christian dramas like Bonanza, Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven. He died in 1991. He was half Irish and Jewish so the French is a mystery.

[Janelilian]

I thought it odd too that Ellen didn't acknowledge them. One would think she'd say something...

And poor Van. His voice seemed clipped and his posture looks stiff. He might be pissed or just trying to hold his tears in or something. I feel so bad for him.

[NukeOakdale]

> I thought it odd too that Ellen didn't

> acknowledge them

I'm sure Ellen was on a high and wasn't thinking straight (pun intended), but it would've been sweet -- especially for poor Van.

I couldn't tell if Van was sick tonight or whether he was truly upset. He was the only nominee to not smile. Frankly, I can't imagine how he could lose again. Was it a bad choice of scene for submission? Well, in my mind, Jake later comforted Van with a hug, and one thing led to another and... :)

[RiboflavinB2]

I don't think Van was visibly upset at all. I watched it live and my thoughts were the cameras caught his reaction at bad times. It didn't seem to me that he was crying or upset - If anything, maybe tired. Let down, I'm sure but I don't get the impression he was sobbing about it - that doesn't seem like Van's style. I do think he was ROBBED though.

[NukeOakdale]

> I watched it live

I watched in HiDef, and have watched it repeatedly on DVD before posting. Many say that he was upset or sick, or somehow off-kilter; see the Luke & Noah Wiki. I was kidding about sobbing, but a few uncontrolled tears wouldn't be unusual if expectations were high. Nor is being upset.

As for the camera, there was no reason why the camera only repeatedly caught him being glum, but not others. And while it wasn't tears, I still wonder about that weird shine on his cheek

[RiboflavinB2]

Also, to the Ellen thing - that was so, so not the right place to acknowledge what the Nuke storyline represents for the gay community. I don't think just because someone is gay (I'm not) means that every moment they're in front of the camera they have to get political. I hate it when anyone gets political at award shows. That's so not the platform. I'm looking for the day that honestly, it really won't matter to anyone anymore - and I'm glad Ellen was just herself.

[NukeOakdale]

> not the right place to acknowledge what

> the Nuke storyline represents for the gay

> community...they have to get political

Who said political? It was the perfect place to *acknowledge* but not to *preach*. Host Sherri *acknowledged* her acceptance of gay marriage and Ellen's lesbianism simply by joking. The Emmys are about achievements and ATWT/Van/Jake have been groundbreaking. A simple "Wow, I'm getting this from daytime's most popular male couple!" was enough.

[MrsMollyMalloy]

Acknowledging appreciation, admiration or gratitude is hardly a political statement. Nor does a 5-10 sec statement like "you guys are great" constitute "every moment they're in front of the camera."

[canadiana8]

My guess is that Ellen didn't know who they were. She probably doesn't watch soaps...I mean, she shoots her own show while they are on.

Plus, she had a lot of ppl that she wanted to thank, and as she acknowledged, not much time to do it...

[bryguyf69]

riboflavinb2, I'm not sure what being political means. Was Ellen kissing Portia a political act? How about wearing red, pink or yellow ribbons? They certainly make a statement but are they political statements? Is expressing admiration for taking difficult gay roles necessarily political?

[RiboflavinB2]

Kissing Portia fine with me, that's not political, that's love. Turning around and congradulating Van and Jake on their roles would be political- that's not the place- the only thing ellen should have done is what she did do, thank her people, thank the fans, thank her significant other etc. Wearing a ribbon (any color) is fine. Van and Jake were there to be presenters- not anything else- so yes, expressing admiration for their taking difficult roles, in that setting would have made it so.

[RiboflavinB2]

additionally - sometimes, making no statement at all is the biggest statement one can make - and I think Ellen handled herself just perfectly. Besides, how do we know Ellen's even a fan of ATWT? jk, I'm sure she is.

Who is MTS?

I think the person is refering to Melody Thomas Scott.
