Second only to All My Children in terms of total nominations, chances that As The World Turns would pick up an addition award or two were quite high.
Fans of As The World Turns had to wait through at least half a dozen categories before they got the chance to hear their show's theme music. Nominations in the Supporting Actor and Actress category went unfulfilled. The first win of the evening - a win that also turned out to be the show's only win of the night - came in the Outstanding Writing Team category.
Lead by head writer Hogan Sheffer and co-head writers Carolyn Culliton and Jean Passanante, the As The World Turns scribes were named the best writing team in the soaps for a second consecutive year.
Pundits had placed As The World Turns as the favorite to win a second-straight Outstanding Drama Series. In fact, in predictions on the Soap Opera Central web site, the consensus vote was also that As The World Turns would again be crowned as the best of the best. It came as quite a surprise when One Life to Live earned the top honors.
