Fresh off the controversy surrounding this year's Oscar Nominations, soap opera fans are finding their own reasons to call foul on the Daytime Emmy Awards after the pre-nominations rounds left off some previously believed shoe-ins for awards.  

65 performers from the four network soaps--Young and the Restless, Days of Our Lives, Bold and the Beautiful and General Hospital--have received pre-nominations across six categories. But some names that were left off the list are causing some major backlash.  

So who were actors that were horribly snubbed? Here are three that we were stunned to find not on the list: 

OUTSTANDING LEAD ACTOR: Peter Reckell (Bo Brady, Days of Our Lives)

Why His Omission Is Notable: Reckell returned during the end of the year for the show's 50th anniversary celebration, bringing back his legacy calendar after a few years away. Not only was his return a huge deal for the soup, but his character came back with a vengeance. His determination to return to Salem and reunite with his Fancy Face, Hope, was powerful, and his death was one of the show's most poignant moments.

Why Her Omission Is Notable: The Bold and the Beautiful made headlines with its remarkable transgender storyline, and Mosley did an amazing job of portraying someone who was not only internally conflicted over the big secret that she was transgender, but also experienced acceptance and rejection for her story, including from her own parents. Mosley was considered a shoe-in for a nomination--and likely the win, making her lack of even a pre-nom all the more shocking.  

OUTSTANDING SUPPORTING ACTOR: Robert Scott Wilson (Ben Weston, Days of Our Lives)

Why His Omission is Notable: Though Wilson's character wasn't given much to do initially, his performance as the Necktie Strangler during the 50th anniversary episodes proved he had some serious acting ability. Not only did fans watch him struggle with the guilt over what he did, only to see him switch moments later to feeling no remorse and being stony silent and resolute that he was doing the right thing, but they saw a total transformation for the character overall.
