2008 Daytime Emmys--Lead Actress

[linny50]

Well done Jeanne! Great speech and you deserved to win,long overdue.

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

All "distinguished" actresses dedicated to perpetuating the mindless, empty fantasies of slovenly, pathetic couch potatos rotting in their bland existences all across the country.

[campwasted]

This lady is the women I want to be, if i were a women, Im not, but she makes being a lady look easy

[AquamanIsTheeBestest]

Jeanne Cooper is a BEAST! :)

[dirty06maggot]

glad she won

[myfathersprincess]

LONG OVERDUE. Its crazy that she got a lifetime achievement award before she got an actual emmy award. Love Ms. Cooper.

[jaspar38]

Seriously, how did we ever have the Daytime Emmys, or any other thing without Tyra?

[lovebalystv25]

maura even mouths that she can't stand up because of her back ..

I LOVE Y&R!! WHHOOO GO JEANNE! ( :

[Aquaria]

What was wrong with the production staff, making an elderly woman climb stairs with no rail, no escort to assist her? Idiots!

[adamdicy]

"I bet you thought I had died"

"Oh, dear high defination, or not high definition, what can I tell you, it's a bitch isn't it"

[NextSuperStar89]

I thought nicole forrester was robbed that episode was amazing!

[spencerruefus]

what is with people and crystal chappell, i think she's competely boring, she can't keep my attention what's so ever, that should have been kelly monaco's emmy

[hotcheerios911]

JEANNE!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

[lizzysunstars]

She gave one of the best acceptance speech ive ever heard....lol...she made it entertaining.

[casseyboo89]

crystal chappell should just win every year..she is the "GODDESS OF DAYTIME" cant touch her..

[lovestoned45]

Ha I just realised Crystal Chappelle is sitting beside Jessica Leccia

[pedid2001]

@lovestoned45 ha, ha, ha. indeed they are sitting beside each other (the perfect match!)

[cajayson8301]

Okay, each year Jeanne is nominated, they need to just have her win so she can keep giving hilarious acceptance speeches! LMAO I love this. She is such a hoot :)

[MayJay4]

How incredibly RUDE of Maura West to not even stand up! She looks like the only one at her table who is not on her feet. Show some RESPECT for one of the best actresses in daytime who could act circles around you.

Way to go Jeannie. I was rooting for you again this year. And I agree.. Melody Thomas Scott is also LONG overdue for a trophy of her own.

[The90sRock1995]

SHE CERTANTLY IS VERY LONG OVERDUE!!!!!!!!! and in i believe 98, susan lucci robbed her of an emmy! COMPLETELY ROBBED HER!!!!

[Messylin]

Maura West was heavily pregnant, hence the reason she was sitting.

[Butterflyy19]

@MayJay4 Jeannie could act circles around Maura? Are you kidding me?

Maura has won 2 Emmy's out of seven nominations over the course of only ten years.

They both are great actresses, obviously.

We don't have Y&R here, but from what I've seen from Jeannie, she's great.

Although it's kinda hard to understand what she's saying most of the time.

[adamdicy]

@MayJay4 Maura West was pregnant at the time so that's why she was sitting, I thought the same thing about her not standing up..now I know the reason, and I feel completely foolish.

[neonnailpolishx3]

@MayJay4 um.... dude. maura is like the nicest person ever. she was pregnant. give her a break.

[whipple456]

@neonnailpolishx3

I am sure if she won she would have been able to stand up!

[neonnailpolishx3]

@whipple456 maura is still awesome. and an amazing person.

[loopyallie1]

@whipple456 DUH, because she would've had to GET UP AND GET HER EMMY! wtf.

[whipple456]

@loopyallie1

you are obviously not following the comment trails .. otherwise my comment may make more sense to you... btw my comment was just a joke maura appears very gracious despite not standing up... i am sure she is lovely as neopolishx3 mentions

[taradenisedeleon]

@whipple456 you can tell that we are all very protective of Maura because we love her as an actress. And she does seem like a totally classy lady...;-) Now she'll be on Y&R and you'll see how awesome she is!

[iluvsoaps09]

im really happy with the 2009 emmy nominees...days is finally getting some love...their actors are amazing, even with whatever crazy storyline they get...and im really happy with most of the nominees...my only issue is that (and people are gonna get pissed here) tony geary is nominated again. dont get me wrong, i love tony and hes a brilliant amazing talented actor, but hes always nominated and he always wins...i would like someone else (thorsten kaye or peter reckell =]) to win

[alstonpmaroon]

I hope she wins again this year, but I believe it is going to go to Susan Haskell from OLTL.......The Emmy nominating process is SO screwed up!!! There are so many other actresses in daytime that deserve Emmys, but until they fix the system, most of them will probably never even get NOMINATED, much less have a chance to win!!

[The90sRock1995]

the thing w/ me, i watch Y&R B&B and a lil of ATWT AND OLTL! so i like 4 out of the 5 actresses! idc who wins rly, except if its that one from AMC! THEN ill be mad!

[celebratingthesoaps]

The sound of Doug Davidson's "Whooo!" gets extremely annoying haha

[The90sRock1995]

that wasent him, from 2:03-2:13 hes not making the noise, you can hear it and hes not doing it.

[scottk56]

Jeanne Cooper will most likely win the Emmy again this year. She's wonderful. If she doesn't it will either be Susan Flannery or Maura West (who is also great!)

[rorymaria1]

JC is a doll! but I really want Her Majesty Stephaganie lol ,,,lol the beautiful and talented Susan Flannery to win! Stephanie keeps BB alive! despite all d horrid nicknames [stephaganie or satanie] that some fans call her. In my eyes, she is THE QUEEN ! lol

[549621jon]

Can i just say i am absolutely outraged that CC was not nominated for an Emmy this year. grrrrrrr

[csiladies]

she was. first one as lead actress

[Shasha2]

Stand up, Maura West ! Such a shame ! Respect for Dame Jeanne Cooper !

[Girltalkbf]

Agreed, ahh she makes me sick sometimes!

[emlem52]

She may have been all cool and nonchalant up there but we all saw the shock and excitement when they called her name LOL! What a fabulous lady! Sassy and classy!

[BeachBunny13]

An Emmy VERY Well deserved!!! She is THE best actress on Daytime!

Now that They've managed to get Jeanne an Emmy, lets work on Melody Thomas Scott!!!! Another very well deserving actress.

[549621jon]

SRY but i have to disagree with that. even though i think that she completely deserved it.

Crystal Chappell is THE best actress daytime I've seen this year.

[6247007]

Well i agree w/ u Crystal Chappell is the best

[Puertoricanlips]

What shows do u watch ?

Guiding Light ( which is awesome right now)

OLTL

AMC ( sucks )

ATWT ( SUCKS)

those are the four shows I watch

However I only watch GL and OLTL on a regular basis

[henrysinaga]

I only watch ATWT because of Luke and Noah storyline, but you're damn right ATWT SUCKS!

[Puertoricanlips]

I love Luke and Noah and watch for them as well. I just ATWT would get bacl to the great show it once was. Because CBS renewed them for a year. I mean this time next year the show may be gone if they dont fix things. I think CHris Goutman and Jean P the Ex Prod and Head writer need to be FIRED. I mean its time we had a change at the top of this soap. DO you watch OTALIA

Olivia and Natalia on Glight they are Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!

[babygirl51295]

the whole cast of Y&R rocks!! Jeanne Cooper is soooooo funny!

[babygirl51295]

Y&R is the BEST!!!!! Jeanne Cooper has been on Y&R for the longest time!Michelle Stafford is a great actress with a great personality and she is beautiful. im 14 and have been watchig Y&R 4 seven years!I luv the Y&R theme song!

[Brad29555]

she should win again this year- she has been awsome being kay and marge

[tav2252]

You could tell in that clip who was genuinely excited and happy for Jeanne and who were just doing the typical clap. Michelle Stafford and Crystal Chappell just about hopped out of their chairs to congratulate Jeanne. Those are class acts.

[SoapFreak]

"I bet you all thought I was dead!" Jeanne Cooper is a GODDESS and it was a well-deserved win!

I really do hope she wins again for her Marge storyline! What an awesome performance!

[GreekBluez]

Class act and hysterical

[Puertoricanlips]

People Call Les Moonves and let him know you are not happy about Guiding Lights cancelation . Please call and ask to leave a message about it 212-975-4321

[applesauce2100]

Les Moonves don't care about GL neither does Barbara Bloom President CBS daytime! All they care about profits and shares which equal to money! If Les Moonves and Barbara Bloom were to get their 6 figured salary cut then then there could be money left over to saved Guiding Light and alot of other CBS shows!

[antonzap]

Six figures? Try 8! Moonves makes tens of millions of dollars.

[Puertoricanlips]

Thats why that man Named Barbara Bloom needs to be Firedddddddddddddddddddddddddd­d. I mean whats running soaps is the morons running them. Who don't care or don't know what the hell they are doing

[applesauce2100]

Well I agree with you on all points! Babs Bloom does look like a man and second you're right again. All those network execs are morons, and they dont study their history and more. They don't care and you're right again! YOU'RE 100% RIGHT!

[Puertoricanlips]

They need someone with new fresh IDEAS to bring Soaps back in a big way. I think this guy from Daytime Confidential Jamey has a lot of great ideas. I am sure there are lots more people out there with a passion to save the soap industry. However when we got people who don't care anymore KEN CORDAY who wont step aside. We will never have the glory or ratins or success Daytime had back in the days

[applesauce2100]

Jamey keeps it real 100% and he's right! Tell me this, has Ken Corday ever wrote for Days or does he give out orders, because he always make comments about Days, that doesn't make sense...

[Puertoricanlips]

no he is so worried about his GOLF game that he doesn't know whats going on with Days. However he does fine time to fire talented actors all the time.

[applesauce2100]

Your talkin about Kenny Corday

[Puertoricanlips]

yeah that hot mess  who should be gone

[tarheel8494]

the acting stuff most often goes to the CBS soaps...as it should. all of the nomiinees this year...cbs. as much as GL and ATWTs ratings may have suffered some, they are still great shows.

[pinkpunk407]

CRYSTAL CHAPPELLL

[djintheatl]

Total class act. Thats what Jeanne Cooper is.

[RKane4u]

I hope Jeanne wins again this year! She is my favorite actress on Y&R. She really has had a meaty role the past few months! GO Jeanne Go, you deserve Win #2!!!! You Rock Girl!

[stanleyballard]

Cannot believe that she has never won before now...something is wrong with the way that they configure this award process....Cooper has been devine for decades (even when she didn't have a story to shine in she has been stellar).

[bcg2203]

Yes there is and to think all these years of brilliance coming from Crystal Chappell and shes only won 1 Emmy for supporting actress! Really?!?!? or am I missing a few somewhere. Someone help me out here; she should be in movies! I think the only reason she not is because she loves the soaps so much.

[stanleyballard]

Chappell is very good...have seen her on DAYS too and she is always giving raw emotion & nuance in her scenes. Not sure that she has not tried to do more film work - it's a tough field.

[tav2252]

WOOHOOO!! GO JEANNE. Well deserved win. She may go back-to-back this year too.

Y&R is THEE best soap in daytime. They have the numbers and the awards to prove it. No other soap comes close.

[GAslickmouf]

GL is thee best soap on TV.

AMC sucks

OLTL sucks

GH sucks

B&B sucks

GL is thee best soap on TV

[gilmoresrox]

oo thankgoodness mara west didnt win for the first time in a while

[juniorz1]

umm, she only one once. in 2007

[FLASHFOTO]

this gives me chills every time i watch it

[Plasvi]

Finally.

[tvcaliguy2007]

Jeanne Cooper finally winning an Emmy for her longtime role as Kay on Y&R is defining, Yet I could've wanted to see Nicole win the award for her own defining takeover as GL's Cassie.

[mjguz]

I adore Jeanne Cooper, however, this should really have gone to Nicole Forester. She was without a doubt the best lead actress on daytime this year.

[xyzizzle]

Not that Jeanne didn't deserve her win finally, but I really thought Michelle Stafford did amazing this year with Phyllis being in jail and then Nick losing his memory and stuff. Michelle needs to win soon!

[favrefan425]

I agree I love Michelle Stafford, but she has two Emmys already. Jeanne Cooper needed to win, and all it takes is two awesome episodes.

[giantmanningbowl42]

as long as overrated playboy pornstar kelly monaco with fake boobs wasnt nominated,she is the reason ratings are low on gh

[wildchildtp]

Classy lady. AWESOME speech

[h06anbjo]

Well it's about time she won isn't it???

[ahsvsoccer]

I love Jeanne Cooper and Y&R, but I wish she had won when she was up for the award before. I also watch GL and I believe Nicole's performance this year would have taken home the award had Jeanne won before. I feel Jeanne deserved it sooner and Nicole deserved it this year. Love them both and I am happy she finale got what she deserved. Nicole will get her turn.

[sexybrown305]

Jeanne Cooper did win the award, but what her speech all about. Did she wait 35 plus years just to say that? This was a huge shock for leading ladies. Just look at Crystal stand up and cheer for Jeanne along with all the others.

[adamdicy]

Yeah, when Tyra called Jeanne Cooper's name she almost didn't get up a first, and then look at Doug Davidson applauding and smiling I couldn't help but laugh every time I see it. I like what Jeanne said "I Bet You Thought I Had Died" and "Oh, dear, High-definition or not High-Definition, I'll tell you it's a bitch isn't it" lmao...you deserved it very much.

[eleanorayoulateagain]

Shut up Tyra!! You stink!

[EmpressIsis]

I couldn't believe that this is her first Emmy. She's one of the best actress on daytime and she never got an award up til now!!!, thats kind of unfair she had to wait along time to get her award. But I'm so happy for her.

[adamdicy]

Oh, remember, back in 2004 Jeanne Cooper, among other soap veterans received the Emmy for Lifettime Achievement.

[xolightking14ox]

Along with Susan Lucci, one of the original Queens of Daytime!! Congratulations Jeanne, you deserved it!!!
