Nothing can compare to the excitement when the Daytime Emmy award season rolls around.
No other daytime actor knows this sense of anticipation better thansoap legend Susan Lucci.
Lucci is perhaps one of the most famous actors to ever emerge from daytime soap operas.
Her reaction to her win was just as emotional and memorable as fans could have expected.
However, year after year, she was nominated but never won.
In 1999, on nomination number 19, she finally broke the streak.
In an interview withEntertainment Weekly, Lucci described her reaction to the win.
I don’t know if it was self-protective.
I’ll never forget the warmth that was pouring out to me."
But she still only won one Emmy.
In her speech, Lucci also acknowledged the fans and credited them for her continued success.
And so she did.
