Wow, I'm rather surprised,

Wow, I'm rather surprised, and appalled, at some of the replies here - specifically, jmuzz. Seriously people, this begins with a simple question as to why Fiddler received no nominations, and it turns into moronic ranting by some. Walter Over-the-egos. You're right in that Fiddler had major problems, but doesn't every show? You're also spot-on with some criticisms such as the modern footwear; dangerous sets etc. However, how does that impact on the performances of those playing Tevye or Golda? Were they the best performances of the year? I have absolutely no idea. It does seem odd though that a number of shows totally missed out on nominations whilst others such as My Fair Lady; Jesus Christ Superstar; Reefer Madness etc seem to share in a glut of awards. As someone who does not take part in community theatre, it just seems rather odd that this would be the case, hence my original question.
