So let’s just say that we don’t care if all he’s doing is putting on a wig and taking a shit on camera, we’ll post it. He can do no wrong.
Luckily this little viral sketch, titled “Make Your Mom Proud” is pretty great and our excuses are moot. It was commissioned by the Daytime Emmys’ nominating committee to encourage entries–unlike the Oscars, for which actors are nominated by their peers for their merit, Daytime Emmy nominees apparently have to apply to be nominated by submitting a reel on DVD. (Last year Roberts and directing partner Clay Weiner were the recipients of the Myspace/MyEmmy Scholarship for the Christmas Tree short.)
If you’re a soap actor (listen up Luke & Noah!) you better already have your entry form in but there’s still a few days to send in that scene of you crying after your mother’s evil twin raped you with a garden hose.
