Lucci was nominated for the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series
Emmy for her work on All My Children almost every year since 1978. When Lucci did not win the award after several consecutive nominations, her image in the media began to be lampoon
ed, as she became notoriously synonymous with never winning an Emmy. NBC

exploited this by asking her to host an episode, where her monologue parodied
the cast, crew, and even stagehands carrying Emmys of their own in her presence. In addition, she appeared in a 1989 television commercial for the sugar substitute Sweet One, intended to portray her as the opposite of her villainess character, yet throwing one of Erica Kane's characteristic tantrums, shouting "11 years without an Emmy! What does a person have to do around here to get an Emmy?"
After 18 failed nominations, she finally won in 1999. When presenter Shemar Moore
announced Lucci's name, stating "the streak is over," the audience erupted in a standing ovation
