Looking back 20 years to Maurice Benard's Emmy Win

Watch the moment he found out he won

It is always fun to look back in twenty year increments so tonight we are looking back at the moment that Maurice Benard found out that he beat Tony Geary for the Emmy in 2003. 

In 2003 and 20 Years Ago, @MauriceBenard won his first #DaytimeEmmys for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for #GeneralHospital on this day and here's hoping he wins this year RT and Like if you remember and love this moment. #SoapTwitter (@Port_Charles1) pic.twitter.com/YycjR3agHG

The competition was stiff and the bar was high

Looking at these nominations, it does not escape us that Maurice and Thorsten Kaye seem to be the only two still in daytime. Thorsten is Ridge Forrester on The Bold & The Beautiful. 

In fact, The Young and Restless could still have their Emmy Nominated  Doug Davidson but they unceremoniously let him go.

GH'S own Anthony Geary has retired. 

Grant Aleksander had been on a TV series called "Tainted Dreams," until 2017. 

Ricky Paull Goldin was in a TV Series call Beacon Hill until 2020.  There is nothing reported since that day.
