Was NUKE among this morning's Daytime Emmy Nominees?

The nominations for the 35th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were announced this morning on The View, and there was good news for As The World Turns fans. Of course, getting to the announcements meant we had to endure the shrill ramblings of Elizabeth Hasselback and flat-earther Sherri Shepherd (the things i'm willing to do for my Luke!) Things got a bit testy between Elizabeth and the always fab Whoopi Goldberg, and I kept expecting (hoping for) a split-screen to pop up, but the also fab Joy Behar managed to diffuse things. Then, in one of the strangest segues I've ever seen, they suddenly drop the heated political discussion, the scowls and stare-downs disappear, and it's time for the nominations.

But first, the always entertaining (and slightly cuckoo) Tyra Banks shows up out of nowhere and chatters like a magpie about, well, I'm not really sure. By the time they say "the nominations are next!", the show is already half over, and I've only caught a brief glimpse of Van Hansis, who's one of the stars announcing the noms.

After the commercial, Van shows up with some girl to announce the Younger Actor & Actress Nominees, and The Girl Who Reminds Brian Of Haley Joel Osment (also known as Jennifer Landon) is the only nominee from ASWT (which i don't really get. This actress gave the absolute worst "evil double" performance I've ever seen). The girl with Van announces the Younger Actor nominees, and Van is nominated! (and he gets a huge cheer from the studio audience). There's another nominee from ASWT, but it's not Noah, played by Jake Silbermann, it's the character of Will, played by Jesse Lee Soffer, who was part of the "baby mama" storyline. Supporting Actress & Actor are announced, and both Henry, played by Trent Dawson, and Emily (Kelley Mehighan Hensley) receive nominations.

They move on to the talk show category, and power lesbian Ellen Degeneres leads the pack, and then Leading Actress is announced, and Quaker Oats Lady (Maura West) is nominated (as I recall, she won last year). No nominees from ASWT for Leading Actor, and the show is shut out of the big award, for Best Drama.

Here is Van announcing the nominees and getting nominated!

Well, For the second year in a row Van is nominated for Younger Actor, but next year he'll have to compete in the regular Supporting Actor category, which is a lot tougher, so this is probably going to be his best bet to win that much deserved gold statue. You can see the entire list of nominees here and be sure to watch the Daytime Emmy Awards on ABC in primetime on June 20th. Keep your fingers crossed for Van, but don't be surprised if a certain disgruntled non-nominee decides to crash the party
