When you consider that there are in the region of 20 musicals up for nominations, and that there would be every conceivable made to have each and every show as good as they can be within the various restrictions imposed by the club's budget, facilities, resources and cast/crew, then you understand that the competition is exceptionally fierce.

When it comes to musicials specifically (as opposed to non-musical) all the elements must integrate really well. So often you will find that when you have a standout performance in one area, it will be closely associated with an overall good quality production, which will both reflect and draw upon other aspects of the production. That is my humble opinion of the majority of cases. That is not to exclude the singular stand-out elements of any production (actor, set design, direction, etc) which do frequently occur also.

It is more likely that a musical will have a number of nominations for a variety of categories and we see this often, every year, and not just within Community Theatre.

As for Muzz and others, please be patient with them. The Finley's are a frequent target for criticism and ridcule (as most awards events are) and these poor soles are simply venting their frustration over the ongoing cycle. ;-)
