Julia probably gave the best supporting actress performance of all time and definitely since. No performance has topped that.

Martha was ATWT first win in the Lead Actress category.

21 years later, John McCook would win his first ever Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his signature role as Eric Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful.

Atwt best writers love hogan

Amy Ecklund was robbed from Guiding Light. She so deserved it!

1996 was a phenomenal year for GH and the only time Guza was actually truly good.

God I hate her

I always loved Martha.

Shocking. Michael is a horrible actor. I thought Josh Duhamel should have won it.

Jon Hensley & Martha Byrne certainly had it. Whatever “it” is. Good memories.

The advent of CNN->led to more cable channels which took eyeballs away. Then O.J.'s televised trial put the nail in the coffin. They never recovered viewership from that moment on. And it hurt all the shows. So unfair.

Does anyone know who the presenter/announcer was for the Writing Team Award in 2001? He had an awesome almost New Zealand like accent...

The other especially Cady was robbed 😮

I never watched amc much but he deserved to win

I'm so glad she won instead of Icky Vicki

Congratulations!

I love this clip!! Even 21 years later it still gives me goosebumps to watch ATWT appreciated for their creative and hard working writing team. ATWT was so ectastic that evening... The chemistry and magic between Chris Goutman, the writers, the producers, the cast and staff was evident and so special. Even the opening music was amazing and we were so proud to see the show win the award and finally honored, and rightfully recognized. CBS/Procter and Gamble still refuse to admit cancelling this program was a mistake.

I only started watching GH back in January, but I have been watching a lot of the older years of the show. IMO GH entered a dark age for sure when Bob Guza returned as head writer back in 2002.

He was awesome actor as Adam and Stuart chandler.

Happy for Martha - would have voted for Marcy though. I miss Marcy so much!

I miss Hunt Block. I would have preferred one of the 3 ATWT actors to win.

Whatever became of Amy Ecklund? The other Amy, Carlson, was on Blue Bloods. Just so happy that Julia won!

Here's hoping Cynthia wins her second Emmy tonight! (:

Totally disagree with this Emmy win - she did NOT deserve to win, period.

How I miss seeing Maura, Colleen and Lesli on ATWT.

Loved Lesli but would have voted for Maura! (:

It is crazy that this was ATWT's first ever win for writing. Douglas Marland ought to have won many times during his 8 years as headwriter!

Worthy win!!

Amc was robbed

I miss when there was a dozen soaps!

Aww Martha and Kelley were so happy for him.

B&B should’ve won. It was spectacular in 2002!

Cynthia did justice to this role she did a great job with this role of Annie

I loved Linda Dano on Another World

Robin did better on Another World

Amc was the best soap to ever do it.

THE EMMY GOES TO DAVID CANARY !

I see a lot of comments about how Robin Christopher was robbed. Does anyone know what two episodes she submitted to be considered? I know what VM submitted. I'm just curious

Vanessa Marcil is a superstar!!!

Always loved VM. Did you notice Susan Walters reaction to reading the card? That smile says it all. 🙂 How awesome it must’ve been for VM to be given her Emmy from two of her friends... think I recall an article in a soap magazine where VM was hanging out with other top women of daytime including Walters & Michelle Stafford

I'm stunned that Douglas Marland never won a writing Emmy for ATWT.

Im proud 2 be n your #

Dang two now deceased great actors in this clip Benjamin Hendrickson and John Ritter. Well deserved win for Ben.

Geez what a bunch of bitter losers lol. Vanessa deserved it in my opinion even though I would not have minded if Rebecca had won.

The clip with VR, she's a snob

Todd!! I love Roger Howarth! RIP David Canary

Two years later, she was cast on _Titus._ Pretty interesting to see clips of her on a soap having watched her in a wildly comedic series later in her career.

McKenzie 😍

Really heartbreaking
