By James V. Ruocco

It's the biggest night of the year for the British Soaps. 

And this year, it's LIVE on ITV.
The fun begins June 1 at 8:00 p.m. as cast members from "Emmerdale," "Eastenders," "Hollyoaks," "The Doctors" and "Coronation Street"  go head-to-head for several coveted awards including Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Newcomer, Villain of the Year and Best British Soap."
In a surprise move, "Eastenders" and "Hollyoaks" tie for the most nods of the year, with 14 nominations apiece.
 As before, the winners of Best British Soap, Best Actor and Best Actress will be decided by viewers. A panel of industry experts will judge the remaining categories including Best Storyline, Best Male Dramatic Performance, Best Female Dramatic Performance and Best Single Episode.
The British Soap Awards will be broadcast at Manchester's Lowry Theatre. Philip Schofield of ITV's "This Morning" will host the programme, now in its 21st broadcast year.
