Here’s the list of nominations for the Daytime Emmy AWards, from soap operas to talk shows to game shows. I don’t know how they come up with these nominees, and I don’t think I want to know. I do know from my limited observations that Finola Hughes, who basically plays Mrs. Peel from The Avengers on “General Hospital,” is the Best of the actresses. I’m sure everyone else is great too!
