With the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards show fast approaching, the gaggle of nominees is being rounded up and put under the microscope. When they learned and how they learned that their performances were for the gold, what thoughts sped through their heads, what they’ll wear to the kudos fest, who they’ll thank when they’re at the podium — seemingly nothing is off limits.
Katherine Kelly Lang’s Daytime Emmy Nomination
Katherine Kelly Lang (Brooke Logan, The Bold and the Beautiful) enthused to Soap Central that she was “really pleasantly surprised” by her sixth career nomination in the Lead Performance in a Daytime Drama Series: Actress category. “I didn’t expect it at all.
“I just wasn’t sure what I was gonna submit, and then I wasn’t thrilled because I’m very, very picky and very critical of my work when it comes to trying to pick something for the Emmys. All of a sudden, I hate everything — I think because the pressure is so intense.”
On the episodes, she chose for her reel — with a helping hand from B&B Supervising Producer Casey Kasprzyk and publicist Eva Basler: “It was the back-to-back shows with…scenes of Brooke confronting Taylor and ultimately, their friendship coming to an end by the end of those shows. So, there was like a lot of confusion on Brooke’s side. A lot of hurt. She was genuinely hurt, she was frustrated, and then of course, angry. So, there was, there was a lot going on. It was good confrontational scenes with Krista [Allen; ex-Taylor Hayes].”
On the family affair that is her category: “I was so happy for [fellow nominee Annika Noelle who plays Hope Logan] because she, you know, there’s a few years I thought that she really deserved some accolades, but this year, I’m just so happy that she’s in there. I love working with her. We have a really good chemistry… as characters and as mother and daughter and on the set. And I think I’m just thrilled. I know how hard she works and how serious she is about it. So, this is, it was really special to see her up there.”
And a very special message to her fans: “I’m so happy to see their excitement, and every single message, even if I can’t respond to them all, means so much to me, and I do try to read them all even though I can’t respond to them all. So, just know that you didn’t go unnoticed. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart, sending me congratulations and love and support.”
The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards ceremony will be telecast on Friday, June 7 at 8 PM EDT/Delayed PT on CBS (with a concurrent live stream and the ability to watch on-demand on Paramount+).
