*Sigh* Thanks, Louisa - yes, this is something new this year. Every year since the Finleys were upgraded - EVERY single year - people have complained that the short lists of nominees were not released beforehand. This year, the ITA committee decided to try it. Never let it be said that we don't listen and don't try anything new. Gloria has used exactly - EXACTLY - the argument that everyone uses against releasing the nominees: "I'm not nominated so I'm not going." Okay, Gloria - what IS missing? The shortlists for Best Play and Best Musical. And there are 1st, 2nd and 3rd places in BOTH categories (another new feature). There is the Brian Maddox Youth Award, the Sheila McHale Achievement Award, the Liz Crews FOH Award. And yes - okay - here I go and spoil the surprise: There are umpteen Adjudicators' Awards recognising various aspects of shows that either NEEDED recognition, or just didn't fit into any other category. Just because (fill in the blank) isn't nominated above, DOES NOT automatically mean it won't be getting anything. No club has been snubbed. As for Grease and We Will Rock You - they were not entered. Come see the show, decide for yourself, then complain later. Or, if you feel that strongly about it, join the ITA committee (the AGM is next month!) and work from the inside to improve things.
