Of course the Finley Awards are a crock!
Why?
Because as a theatre community we are all too nice!!
When was the last time there was a fight outside the venue because someone didn't like the fact that they came second?
When was the last time an entire theatre group walked out en masse because they were ignored in the awards?
When was the last time the objectivity of the adjudicators was called into question?
[Oh, I'm sorry, that happens every year doesn't it]
Maybe it is time that the ITA thought about extending the awards... Y'know I bet that if we actually did have Best Actor/Director awards at the Finleys there would be a lot more bad blood about.
And this is EXACTLY what we need to make the night TRULY interesting!
More fighting, more bitching, more irreparable rifts between people...
