THE FINAL BALLOT IS SET
The first phase of the Dankies balloting took place throughout December and part of January. In this phase all DAYS Online users were asked to offer their choices for the best of the best of Days of our Lives over the past year. These users were allowed to nominate any performer or storyline that they felt fit the various categories. When balloting closed, Soap Central tabulated all of the nominations. The top four vote-getters in each category were placed on a final ballot, a ballot for which voting begins today. Additionally, all 16 nominees in the Outstanding and Supporting Actor and Actress categories were placed in an Outstanding Overall Performer category.
