Will Christian LeBlanc have another Emmy for his shelf?

The Daytime Emmy pre-nominations have been announced! Here's how this works: For each of the eight daytime shows, two actors can be nominated for each of the six acting categories (in other words, 16 people per category). These are the PRE-nominees; they'll be screened by a panel of judges, who will narrow it down to the select few (usually five to six) for each category ... and those become the nominees! You can learn all about the Emmys (and their rules and procedures and all that jazz) at the Emmy website.

OK, now onto the good stuff. The pre-nominees! One of these people will win!
