Wait a sec, I don't think this was ever meant to be a rant about the injustices of the awards..surely Jmuzz and everyone can realise that it's just a case of someone expressing their opinion, and yes some people do get carried away with their own opinions sometimes, but they're entitled to express them.
It is difficult when you see a show that has had a sold out season, solid feedback and standout performances from individual performers, and yet zero nominations to its name. OK, so being 'rejected' so to speak, is a half-expected reality in theatre. It doesn't mean it isn't a letdown when it happens.
There surely were enough categories that it would have been more than eligible, even just for one. And that goes for other worthy productions this year. The number restriction is, in many ways, quite unfair in terms of failing to recognise EVERY great production that has been performed this year. The only other way to avoid it would be to not have the awards at all, but not many people would like that.
I understand the pressures on the adjudicators though, and appreciate the difficulties of working within the limitations of the criteria.
Nonetheless, well done to all nominees. It would be nice not to have these controversies draw attention away from a good list of noteworthy productions. Chookas to all.
