Daytime Emmys Somehow Forget to Nominate James Franco

The Daytime Emmys were announced today and General Hospital led the pack of mostly expected nominees with a massive 18 nominations. Conspicuously absent from the list, though, was the man who brought that soap opera high ratings, media attention, and deliciously meta plotlines: the one, the only James Franco. How can this be?

As far as avant-garde American periodicals go, it’s a good one — or at least it used to be, when it would give up dozens of pages to James Franco and his collaborator Carter to use as an art project. Lately, VMan has been trending in a weird direction (a signed Nick Jonas cover, really?) and it’s all come to a head with this bizarre Shrek Forever After photoshoot.
