The Soap Goddess' Emmy Picks

Well, I know you are on the edge of your seats waiting for this, but here are my emmy picks (and my wishes of who would win):

Drama: Young and the Restless (though I hope ATWT wins)
Writing: As the World Turn (ATWT if only to see Hogan's acceptance speech)
Lead Actress: Hmmm...an eight way race could easily have a tie--even a three way tie. I'm not going to guess on this one. (Though I hope Martha Byrne or Susan Flannery win).
Lead Actor: Grant Aleksander (Grant Aleksander)
Supporting Actress: Heather Tom (Heather Tom or Crysal Chappel)
Supporting Actor: Greg Rikkart (Greg Rikkart or Justin Deas)
Younger Actress: Eden Riegel (who cares?)
Younger Actor: Tom Pelphrey (Tom Pelphrey)

Soap Opera Wedding Vows

Watching Jen and Mike's wedding on As the World Turns today made me realize that they aren't really vows at all--just a declaration of love. I mean--it's nice poetry. But they are not "vowing" to love, honor, cherish et al.
Is it just me or does it seem like this is something the writers do for the drama? (And possibly to try to outdo each other?)
