Dick Van Dyke was nominated for a Daytime Emmy for Guest Performance in a Daytime Drama. The 98-year-old actor received the nomination for playing Mystery Man/Timothy Robicheaux on Days of our Lives last year.
While that is an honor in itself, he received another honor because of it. He is now the oldest actor to be nominated for an Emmy. Before today, David Attenboro held that title at 92.
If Van Dyke wins, it will be its seventh Emmy win and third Daytime Emmy.
Hopefully, he will bring home the statuette at the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards on June 7th. You can watch the awards show on CBS.
Niecy Nash won her first Emmy yesterday for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a limited or anthology series or movie for her work in Dahmer – Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story.
So how did she celebrate? The actress didn’t go to In-n-Out like other winners. Instead, she rented a hotel suite with an indoor pool and went skinny dipping with her wife, Jessica Betts.
Although, it doesn’t look like they did a lot of swimming.
It is her party, and she can do what she wants! And that is how I would want to do it!
Elton John became a member of the exclusive EGOT club yesterday at the Emmys. However, he wasn’t there to accept his award.
After the show was over, the singer explained why he wasn’t there. The Rocketman wrote: “We won an Emmy and I am on cloud nine!! Receiving this recognition is a testament to the passion and dedication of everyone involved, and I am so deeply grateful.
“Whilst I am gutted that I couldn’t be there to accept this award in person– I recently underwent a knee operation, a gentle reminder, perhaps, of a lifetime spent jumping off pianos (see pic 2!) – my heartfelt thanks go out to the @televisionacad and all those who took the time to vote. This award reflects the collective effort and creativity of an amazing team…”
Then Sir Elton addressed his new title, “Honoured to have joined the hallowed ranks of EGOT winners, here’s to the joy of music and the magic it brings to our lives!”
Congrats to Elton. With all that he has contributed to entertainment over the decades, he has definitely earned this achievement.
