Title: Daytime Emmy nominations out
Post by: colonial on May 05, 2022, 02:35:47 PM
It's the usual suspects for Outstanding Game Show for the 2022 awards .... LMAD, TPIR, FF, WOF, J!

Outstanding Game Show Host is a bit peculiar this year, with Pat Sajak receiving two of the nominations (for WOF and Celebrity WOF, the latter being declared eligible for the Daytime Emmys). Sajak will compete for the award against Wayne Brady, Steve Harvey and Leah Remini.

A few games are also under consideration in the technical categories.

How often have people been nominated twice in the same category?

Pretty sure Alex Trebek once defeated himself for an Emmy (hosting Jeopardy! and Classic Concentration), but that's the only one coming to mind right off the top of my head.

This could be a mistake. The Primetime Emmy Rules say that a game show broadcast at or after 8 PM Eastern is eligible for the Primetime Emmys, and Celebrity WOF only aired at 8:00 during the eligibility period. There is talk of having all game shows compete against each other in the Daytime Emmys starting in 2023, the way all "children's shows" do now even if they air in primetime.

Leah Remini is nominated for outstanding host? I'm surprised, and not in a good way.

Right on! Yet he tied with Barker that year as well.

As for this year, I was hoping Dylan Lane would have his shot at Emmy gold.

I would say that it should be in a good. She is actually a very personable host. Very funny with the contestants and keeping the game moving along. She was funny in the first season, even funnier in the second season. As I watched daily, I definitely thought she was worthy of a nomination months ago. Glad she got it.

As for the winner, I think she's definitely got a shot, but clearly after 24 years since his last competitive win, Pat is itching for an Emmy by allowing himself to be nominated twice.

I'm truly curious as to what will happen in the game show category. Jeopardy had a rough 2021, although it does have highlights with Matt and Amy closing out the year and the ToC back in May. I do not think it's a lock at all this year. If I had to wager, I'd go with LMAD. Wayne and Co. have been consistently good navigating through the hybrid in-studio/at home stuff.

The thing is, most of the voters are probably voting based solely on whichever episode the production company submits (if that -- the official rules (https://theemmys.tv/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Boilerplate-Daytime-v2.pdf) state that there's simply a minimum percentage of time that each judge is required to watch an episode before submitting a score). So it all comes down to which single episode each production company chooses to put the show in the best light.

Jeopardy! almost certainly will choose either a Matt Amodio episode or an Amy Schneider episode -- what's interesting is that if they go with the former, then Mayim is the host; if they go with the latter, then Ken is the host. That might be telling.

The Price Is Right surely won't choose an episode from the first half of 2021 when there was no studio audience. I would not be surprised if they submitted an episode that drove home the fact that it's the show's 50th season.

Family Feud doesn't really do theme episodes, so they'll probably submit an episode with several big Steve reactions. Let's Make a Deal has been doing special Monday and Friday episodes all this season -- do they submit one of those? Does Wheel of Fortune submit the episode where they gave away a house?

That's what the competition will be between.

According to the rules, when the production company uploads the episode for consideration, they also have to designate which 30 seconds they want the Emmys to use if the show is featured in the telecast. Presumably that means the clips shown during "the nominees are" will reveal where each show's priorities lie.

(The official rules also spell out which specific job titles are eligible to be listed in the credits for the names of production company personnel that follow the name of the show. One of the approved job titles is "Zonk Producer(s)." So Jeopardy!'s zonk producers can rest easy.)

Seconded. Plus, imagine just how much her success and happiness continues to aggravate that group she left back in 2013. :)

(Not mentioning 'em by name because I've got enough problems in my life without giving them a Google search result to find.)

Starting this year, any primetime show that is ostensibly a spin-off of a daytime show (Celebrity WOF, Jeopardy College Championship, soap opera primetime specials) compete in the daytime categories.

I'd honestly really genuinely like to know why you're "surprised, and not in a good way." For my money she's easily the best host in the entire GSN arsenal (only Brooke Burns comes close), you're really the first person I can think to have something bad to say about her hosting, and she takes what would otherwise be Generic GSN Original #47 into arguably the most fun show they've made in years.

Leah's good.  Fun and funny. She just completed her first semester at NYU, so it's a lot to juggle.  Only thing that would stand in her way is a petty scientologist.

I watched People Puzzler for the first time in a while last night. Leah is definitely deserving of the nomination. She’s loosened up and isn’t as robotic as I thought she was in season one. Not saying she’s a shoo-in, but it’s not a crime nominating her IMO.

Daytime Emmys were Friday night. Jeopardy won Outstanding Game Show while Steve Harvey won Outstanding Game Show Host.

Because I was curious, I wanted to see if I could track down the episodes (based on the snippets we got) submitted for consideration in each of the two categories. Most were easy to figure out, Family Feud aside, but I think I have all 10 episodes.

So here are the airdates for these 10 nominees, along with clips:

The Price Is Right: October 29, 2021 (70's themed Halloween episode)

The awards hosts were awful, as was the tribute to TPiR's 50th anniversary.  The clips were good, but Drew came across as an idiot.

Maybe they should have a separate telecast for game show awards, where there would be an appreciation of the genre.  The drama and ET people didn't seem too enthused.

GSN tried this back in 2009. It didn't go over well.

Well, that was not under the auspices of the academy.

I guess Scott was right in that Price was going to use a show that drove home the fact that it was the 50th season and the Halloween episode certainly did that with all the iconography, old cues and the newest limited-time game. Don't know if it was the best show they could've gone with, but it was certainly the one that made the point.

Still surprised that Jeopardy won. Davies did a really good job righting the ship and winning with a show only 2-3 months after the Richards fiasco should be absolutely commended.

I'll admit, I liked the clip Steve had sent in for consideration, but still a little disappointed he won. Leah was a breath of fresh air, but I'd understand if she was a bit unpolished. However, Wayne delivers a consistent performance more worthy of being awarded and in a more difficult environment.

Updating this list with some other finds relating to the Creative Arts Emmys.

Family Feud used that same November 16, 2021 episode for Live Sound Mixing/Editing.

Price is Right went with the Christmas Eve, December 24, 2021 episode for their nomination in that category:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWIUKSnbwbQ

Jeopardy had that November 30, 2021 episode listed above as their Outstanding Lighting and Techincal Team nomination as well.

Wheel used the March 29, 2021 episode for the Outstanding Lighting category:

Thank you for doing the work to identify all of these episodes. I'll add that for Outstanding Game Show Host, the nominees were allowed to submit a compilation reel that could include moments from multiple episodes, so long as those episodes all aired during 2021. So while the clips aired during the ceremony were part of the reel, other hosting moments from other episodes were also likely included and judged. (Sound Mixing/Editing and Technical Direction were restricted to a single episode; Lighting was allowed to submit a compilation reel.)

I'm sure it's worked in past years, but I don't like it when a show submits what is so blatantly an out-of-the-ordinary special themed episode to try to win for best series. If I were a voter unfamiliar with the series, my reaction would be, "Okay, but how good is your show when it isn't Halloween or a celebration of breast cancer awareness? Surely you're not doing this every day." I'm of the belief that a good submission depicts an everyday episode of the show in which everybody (including the contestants) has brought their A game and the stars have aligned for some entertaining wins.

One other thing. During the "In Memoriam" segment, I thought "Oops, they left out Betty White." Then they showed a clip of her accepting her Lifetime Achievement Award from 1999. A nice touch.

Leah was a breath of fresh air

If Wayne had won I would have been absolutely thrilled but in my whole heart I really feel like Leah should have won. She's almost single-handedly turned what SHOULD be GSN paint-by-numbers original #47 into one of the more captivating games on television, and she pretty much nails the fine line between being genuinely caring and supportive of the contestants while also absolutely busting the chops of contestants who have it coming. She makes the show more engaging, interesting, and fun for being there in a way that, of the nominee, only Wayne really comes close to equalling. All on a show with a fraction of the budget, most of the best stuff left in the edit bay dump for time, on a 35th-40th place cable channel - and without being able to really do any themed specials or tournaments or showcase episodes as was seen with a lot of the other shows' submissions.

I just watched the above clip of Steve, and y'know...it's a shame that I find the writing and survey board euphemisms so annoying, because Steve actually keeps that game running in a way not seen since the Combs era. I also love the angles that the director uses at times (see 1:15 in that Feud clip).

That said, Wayne and Jonathan have really made LMAD their own show and have a fun little hour going on over there. I also agree that Leah's grown into her role very nicely on what could be a very pedestrian game show. I'm not against Steve winning, but I feel Wayne or Leah probably deserved the award more this year.
