CBS The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers and updates reveal actor Scott Clifton (Liam Spencer) was not on the list of Emmy nominations for 2020. While some fans went on Twitter to ask why the awards ceremony has a procedure. In order for an actor to get a nomination, they must submit reels. Scott Clifton chose not to do it this year.

The Bold And The Beautiful Updates – The Emmy Award Nomination Process
Some B&B fans assume that an actor’s work on soaps is noticed, they are nominated, then one is chosen at the awards ceremony. However, that’s not how the Emmy awards process works.
In order to receive a nomination, actors must submit a few reels of what they feel is their best work. Then, nominations are chosen from one of these submitted reels. It’s possible for an actor to receive multiple nominations (one per eligible category) for the same reel (a particular scene in layman’s terms).

While some actors have aspirations to win awards every single year, others are satisfied with winning once. Clifton didn’t explain his decision (and he doesn’t have to). However, he has already won in every eligible category for his portrayal of Liam Spencer.
In previous years, Clifton won Outstanding Younger Leading Actor in 2011, Outstanding Supporting Actor in 2013, and Outstanding Lead Actor in 2017.
The Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Scott Clifton Confirms Non-Submission

So, why wouldn’t Clifton want a chance to be nominated and win an Emmy award? The ceremony might end up interfering with other plans or he could not enjoy the whole awards ceremony (not all actors like being in the spotlight!). Maybe he already achieved his goal of winning gold in every possible eligible category.
He could want to give others a chance to have their Emmy dreams come true, too. The actor is known for his generosity, kindness, and encouraging others to reach the stars. So, this definitely sounds like it might be the case!
The 47th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards is scheduled to air live on Friday, June 26 at 8 pm ET.
