Re: Finley Awards - The Winners
See?
I would have made an effort to go to the Finley's if I had known that my club and my theatre friends had been nominated for (and won) awards.
Congratulations to all who won and were nominated :)

Re: Finley Awards - The Winners
you say See?
All I saw was between 400 and 500 people who had a brilliant evening, all cheering and celebrating for one another. If you weren't there, well I am sorry to hear that, you missed out on an incredible evening of excitement and entertainment.
Regardless of who was nominated. who won awards, or what the critics may think or say - everyone had a brilliant evening, stepping out together showing their support for WA Community Theatre. For your information not even I or the rest of the ITA Committee know who is nominated until it is announced on the night. That information is kept under lock and key by the ITA Adjudicators.
Congratulations to all the winners, the nominees and the audience.
Now... for 2006!!!

Re: Finley Awards - The Winners
To second what Melz said...
It was your loss Mish!
I was very pleasantly surprised to see a couple of shows that I was involved with get nominated and actually collect awards.
I was pleasantly surprised to see friends from other clubs and other productions get nominated and win awards.
I was a little disappointed that other productions and other friends didn't get nominated.
I don't think the night would have been half as fun if I'd known going in who was being nominated.
If anything your attitude confirms the ITAs stance.
"I would have made an effort to go if I'd known..."
can also be read as
"I won't make an effort if I know they are not"

Re: Finley Awards - The Winners
You've got no tangible benchmark as to what would happened if you announced the nominees beforehand; why not try it and see? How will you know it will make a scrap of difference unless you test it somehow?
Walter PlingeMon, 23 Jan 2006, 03:53 pm
Re: Finley Awards - The Winners
Hmmm! Somewhere between 4 and 5 hundred people attend, but you say there will be more if less people are in with a chance of winning before the night.
I fail to see the logic.
I fail to see the logic.

Re: Finley Awards - The Winners
I never said that; I said why not try the alternative to see if it actually makes a difference.
MelzMon, 23 Jan 2006, 05:46 pm
Re: Finley Awards - The Winners
The attendance at this years Finley Awards was outstanding, with numbers still being crunched for a final tally, however the attendance was as strong as any other highly attended Finley Ceremony including the Playhouse.

Re: Finley Awards - The Winners
I dont mean to nit-pic but the lovely Franchesca Meahan was not in Fallen Angels at the Darlington Theatre.
so I am hoping that you only got the theatre wrong and not the nomination, which would mean that the even lovely Sandra missed out on an accolade.
