Okay this is scandalous. The topic is Emmy moments, daytime or prime time that made us cry. How in the heck did Susan Lucci's 1999 win not make the cut. One would think it would be no. 1 if not at least in the top 3. Her win was a tear jerker (and that seems to be a major part of the criteria with the noted title of this post) to the point it was announced not only on the news but at sports and entertainment events that evening in 1999. The fact she won for daytime only transcended all of the world. Even Academy Award winners had noted her losing streak and one even sent her an Oscar to keep until she won an Emmy. She had a two minute standing ovation and people were crying all over the world - like her or not, like her acting or not there was such emotion as she had lost year after year of nominations, countless jokes and parodies she had Oprah and Rosie in tears. The audience was over come with emotion even from her fellow nominees. Such a huge miss and blunder. This top ten list probably loses a lot of crediblity with this miss. Yes the others including Fred Rogers are deservedly on the list but to miss Susan Lucci's win is a big loss.

Mr. Roger certainly inspired many many people in his lifetime. He spoke to children as people in a way they could understand. He helped us learn in ways that school just couldn't do. He helped us all learn about ourselves, our feelings and most importantly about what humanity really is.
Thank you for being our neighbor, Mr. Roger.
Edit if you haven't seen it, watch his reunion with Jeff Erlanger whom appeared on his show as a child and wasn't expected to make it into adulthood. Mr. Roger's immediate reaction when seeing Jeff on stage was so awe-inspiring. He really loved all the children.

at least we didn't include susan lucci's finally we can stop talking about the streak award. i remember that year. her story line wasn't nearly as good as others she was nominated for (and yes should have won many times including the year she pulled double duty doing dallas and amc) but who didn't honestly think when she won. finally we can stop talking about the streak of nominations without a win? not saying that's why she got it or that was the deciding factor, but we all know that most people were done with her and the streak and had quit caring by that point.

I still cant believe Deidre Hall has NEVER won one and never gets her reel past the pre nomination list. I remember in 1995 she sent out like 10, 000 copies of her reel to everyone that could vote on it and didnt make it. She also submitted in 2018. I have feeling she did this year too and was again rejected. I would seriously cry if she got a lifetime emmy. She is amazing and not sure what they have against her. She is so sweet to her fans so in my eyes she is a winner anyways

Yes, Susan Lucci's win for best actress at the daytime Emmy was epic. That was back in 1999. Sudan had been nominated 19 times consecutively and always lost except for that year. Actor Shemar Moore made the event more exciting by presenting and yelling the streak is over, Susan Lucci. Everybody got up and gave her a very long standing ovation. She rightfully delayed the commercial break to politely finish her speech. Yay Erica Kane. I will never forget that day.

i would also like to ad an Honorable mention for the acceptance speech of Peter R. de Vries for his episode of his show where he unmasked Joran van der Sloot as the probable killer of Nathalie Hollaway. Not that the speech was that great, but more the backstory. Nathalie her body never been found till this day and Peter being shot to death a year ago in Amsterdam after shooting a tv show episode

How can we watch the Daytime Emmy Awards? They took them off the air for years and just brought them back this year. I don't count on this being permanent because they took them off the air, brought them back for one year, and then took them off the air again. It's a joke and a slap in the face to the Daytime shows since we can't always see the award show.

Mr. Fred Rogers was the epitome of excellence in speeches. Look at the video of him addressing Senator Pastore! Pastore is initially snarky to Mr. Rogers, when he basically ignores the remark and continues on his campaign for children television funding in a regal manner, Pastore listens and grants him what he wants! We are all grateful for that!

Lets all be honest, we all jumped to #1 to see if it was Mr. Rogers. Nobody else deserves the quiet respect, or the tears from years of memories like Mr. Rogers. Take 20 minutes and search for an episode of his show and watch it. It will make you feel appreciated and cared about like when you were younger. Please take a moment and remember him.

When I saw Fred Rodgers on the stage, I cried a lot of tears. He inspired my childhood to one of my favorite PBS Kids programs on tv back when I was 3 or 6 years old, his kids show, Mister Rodgers' Neighborhood. I liked the way Mister Rodger helps kids and adults care about each other. I am sad to see him retire from his job. Sabrina Griffin. :(

My son is three years old and we still watch Mr. Rodgers neighborhood even though he isnt here his teachings are and what he says is still valid to this day. As for the list he is the only one that can stand there forever and not only keep the room quiet for him to speak but the music wont even start till he starts walking off stage.

You had to have Mr. Rogers as #1, didn't you? I grew up watching that and Sesame Street. I was just watching and enjoying the video until that one. You made me CRY, MsMojo. But Mr. Rogers was amazing. He brought so much love and joy to the world. We are all so much less without him, even after all this time.

Brilliant, beautiful Fred Rodgers. I sent the parents of my preschool students to him, I watched him with my own children. I watched him after my children had left home, just to hear him say, I like you JUST the way you are. Bless you, Fred Rodgers, I always have and continue to want to be your neighbor.

I was teary by the time we got to Robin Willams. I was out right sobbing when Fred Rogers started talking. When I was watching him as a young girl, not so great things were going on, but being able to imagine myself somewhere else helped. Thank you, Fred Rogers. I will always be your neighbor.

What the hell, why are all these tributes from 2016, 17, 18 19 etc. nothing from the 60s when the late Alice Pearce won supporting actress for a comedy on Bewitched shortly after she died. It was accepted by her husband.
Got anything from the 70s? 80s or 90s? Do some research people.

While Susan Lucci's win was what some would call historic, it doesnt necessarily generate tears like many of the other speeches do.
My favorite speeches were definitely from Fred Rogers, Viola Davis, and Sarah Paulson. They were so moving.

Those were nice moments but what about when Susan Lucci finally won an Emmy after being denied for so many years. That was a pretty emotional moment. It didn't even garner an Honorable Mention? You dropped the ball once again Mojo!

When my father was in Viet Nam in 1971, I was too old to watch Mr. Rogers. But my little sister used to watch him, and I would stand in the doorway -- he got me through. He was a Godsend. Godspeed Mr. Rogers.

Susan Lucci finally winning after years of being nominated should have been on the list: surprised it wasn't in the top two or three. Of course, this list is only someone's opinion and nothing else.

Since the narrator talked through most of it I wasn't able to hear their speeches enough to know. So, none of them brought me to tears. Next time, let me hear the speeches in their entirety.

Fred Rogers speech was so NOT Hollywood, yet Hollywood responded with astonishing deference. The puppeteer in the sweater and tennis shoes, was the most powerful man in the room.

The Central Park 5 stood out for me because of the recklessness of the judicial system in this country. That win gave a nice slap across donnie Dumpy's Racist bigoted face!

The Central Park 5 at the Emmys has not gotten enough credit. That should be a moment played over and over for the world to remember, especially those who put them there.

Whenever I see someone cry, I cry too. I wish Fred Rogers was still here with us! I remember being the only one watching Mr. Rogers Neighborhood when I was a child.

Mr. Rogers' speech was wonderful, but I was more moved by his reaction when Jeff Erlanger rolled out in his wheelchair to introduce him. Pure joy. What a surprise!

That's odd, you didn't see Mr Rodgers get up on a stage and give a totally racist acceptance speech. Maybe that's the difference between intelligence and ignorance.

My oldest sister met Mr. Rogers through her work. He took her and a co worker to lunch. She said he was just as special in person as he was on television.

Susan lucci should be top 5 for sure. After a streak of nineteen nominations and no wins, she finally won at 20th go. And the crowd went crazy.
