'''The Soapy Awards''' were an award presented by ''[[Soap Opera Digest]]'' magazine to the best work on American soap operas from 1977 until 1983. Unlike their successors, the '''[[Soap Opera Digest Awards|''Soap Opera Digest'' Awards]]''', this accolade lacked a great deal of glamour. The statue itself was a tall geometic crystal were presented during a television show after winners were announced in the magazine. The original award was designed by the magazine's art director Janis Rogak

The first awards were presented during the ''[[Merv Griffin show]]'' to Best Actor [[Bill Hayes (actor)|Bill Hayes]] and Best Actress [[Susan Seaforth Hayes]] from ''[[Days of our Lives]]'' (which also won for 'Favorite Show'). This first award also included a special award for 'Outstanding Achievement in the World of Daytime Drama' to ''[[All My Children]]'' and ''[[One Life to Live]]'s'' creator [[Agnes Nixon]].

The 1978 award were presented live during ''[[America Live]]'' from both [[New York]] and [[Hollywood]]. The 1979 show was presented on the Thursday Dec. 27, 1979 episode of the ''[[Dinah Shore show]]''.

In 1980, during the height of ''[[Luke and Laura]]'', their portrayers [[Anthony Geary]] and [[Genie Francis]] won for Best Actor and Best Actress. An award for 'Favorite Performer in a Mature Role' went to ''[[All My Children]]'s'' [[Ruth Warrick]].

The 1981 show incorporated many of the categories which would become a hallmark of the Soap Opera Digest Awards, such as:
*'Most Exciting New Actor' ([[Tristan Rogers]], ''[[General Hospital]]''),
*'Favorite Villain' (Andre Landzaat, ''[[General Hospital]]'')
*'Favorite Villainess' ([[Robin Mattson]], ''[[General Hospital]]''). That year the awards were swept by ''[[General Hospital]]''.

In 1984 the awards were replaced by the [[Soap Opera Digest Awards]].
