LAS VEGAS, NV (July 2) – U.S. Snowboarding SBX (snowboardcross) rider Pat Holland (Squaw Valley, CA) hit the red carpet Sunday escorting The Bold and Beautiful soap star Sarah Joy Brown at the Daytime Emmy Awards in Las Vegas. The show was televised live on CBS.
Brown was nominated for an Emmy for the fourth time in her career, having won three previous with an earlier role on General Hospital. Brown returned to the show in 2008 as new character, mobster Claudia Zacchara, she is now part of the cast of The Bold and Beautiful. Brown was nominated for Best Actress, but unfortunately did not win the category.
"She didn't take home the gold she was looking for, but we still celebrated after her current show, the Bold and the Beautiful, won an Emmy for Best Show," explained Holland. "I think being nominated for Best Actress but not winning lit a fire under Sarah. She really wants to win her fourth Emmy. I think she will put her heart and soul into this year's acting, so that she wins next year."
Holland was among the daytime stars, in every aspect including his chic tuxedo on the red carpet. The SBX rider, who is used to racing down courses filled with turns, jumps, bumps and rolls, traded in his boots for some dress-up shoes to maneuver his way down the much straighter and flatter red carpet, stopping along the way to pose for the paparazzi.
"If I'm able to do these types of events again, I'm going to wear a much lighter tux, it was very hot under the Vegas lights," said Holland. "The combination of camera people and interviewers calling our names and the Vegas heat really gets the heart pounding and the heat rising."
Holland, a top Snowboardcross rider, ended the 2009-10 season with a career best third in a World Cup in Spain carrying momentum into summer training and the upcoming 2010-11 winter season. Holland is currently in Sandpoint, ID with his older brother and SBX rider Nate Holland (Squaw Valley, CA) working with Action Water Sports offering wakeboarding and waterskiing lessons and lake tours.
