Alias sport and theatre are very similar. You perform / play and receive the adulation or possibly have a few walk outs at half time. But at the end of the day whether it be professional or amateur there always seems to be an element of who's the best. Example being AFL Football and the West Coast Eagles. They won the premiership back in 2006 and all involved in the club shared in the celebrations of being the best TEAM in 2006 BUT they still had their club champion awards ceremony to recognise outstanding achievements by individual players. Oh and guess what, they didn't win in 2007 but they still had their club champion awards night. Who makes these decisions? Well appropriately chosen people who have knowledge in that field, in this case football. Usually the coaches and the assistant coaches and possibly the match committee are the ones entrusted with this role. (How is this any different to our Finley adjudicators??) And it doesn't finish there. They have an award that celebrates the Fairest and Best Player of the whole competition so the individual awards just continue. Did any of the Eagles players get upset when Chris Judd (I hate to mention his name!) won his Brownlow Medal? Dean Cox could possibly be thinking "hey I made him look good by getting the ball down to him" but I wouldn't think so. So no precedent is being set here at the Finleys! In the theatre community we have the same type of thing. I personally think that it is great because there have been some outstanding performances and they do deserve to be celebrated. Yes Alias you are right ONE person does not maketh a show but does that mean we can't celebrate it. I have been in many shows in my short time involved with theatre. Some shows have featured prominently at the Finleys and some not so but these ones haven't stopped me coming back for another show and nor should they. To me the whole idea of the Finleys is to mainly celebrate the amazing theatre that goes on in this great state. I was very lucky to have won an individual award previously and that was very satisfying to know someone out there liked what I did but I must admit that the biggest buzz I have had was being part of a production that finished right up there in the best production stakes. Once the night is over though you get back to doing what you love to do. I believe that there are only a few people out there who are focussed on the prizes at the end. Maybe this is a good Website question??? All the best to the nominated ones and congratulations to the ITA committee for what I am sure will be a fantastic night!
