I havent seen this in 9 years and I bawled my eyes out just as much as I did the night that I watched this live. Susan deserved that win.

I hope I look half as good as she does when I'm her age! GO SUSAN!!!

Hell, Susan Lucci is the MOST famous soap actor ever! How anyone can deny that is crazy. She deserved it, I mean 8 times without a win is screwed up but she had 18 times without a win! That is just crappy! I never seen one episode of her show, and I been knowing she was, since I was a child!!!!! Everyone in the Soap World/Daytime World and the World over were SO HAPPY FOR HER!

Mon Dieu! What an absolutely STUNNING woman & beautiful moment. There could be know doubt that Suan deserved this. When u r nomintated 19 times 4 an award & never actually get it, u have basically won it, u just don't have the testimonial (think Wizard of Oz) - That said, remember that the "judges" r the members of the academy, which are professionals in the field, including actors, directors & producers that vote based on tapes sent in by nominees - then it's a matter of who gets most votes...

Did anybody see what ingo rademacher(jax,gh) did for erica? She really deserved that emmy and it was long overdue.

Yea I found it cruel and tacky for them to keep nominating her when it seemed like they had no intention of awarding her the Emmy. But I now see why they do not award talent, considering they have awarded the Emmy to people in the last several years who did not deserve it...that says more about the judge's taste in acting than it does on Susan's "poor take" on Erica (as they would want people to think). Susan has played Erica perfectly and is a terrific actress.

Interesting and this is kind of what i was asking? If they were not fans of her take on the role, why all the nominations? It was basically at a certain point a cruel joke and a punch-line that Susan was getting nominated so many times without a win.

Apparently, from what I have read, they did not like how Susan played Erica over the top. In their words (and I am paraphrasing)-"she thinks big is better". What the idiot judges did not realize is that this is the character of Erica Kane. She is an over the top character. That is Susan's way of playing her and everyone in that audience knew that, hence the big applause since they knew this win was long overdue.
