No iam not biased, and yes of course iam pleased for those who get the awards, but people being people, some cant help filling a LITTLE out of sorts, it does not bother me personally, I do a show, and I put my heart and soul into my performances, as said, that is the judges choice, you will always get a difference of opion, someone will love your work and others will say oh no i didnt. I said about judges, MAY know someone, because once i was in a show, and the person concerned, told me that finley judges were in the audience who they knew, as friends, as they new they were coming, and they told this person, that they would be up for a nomination, but this person, was not supposed to say a thing, as they were friends of this person. If i can hold my head up at the end of the night knowing I did a good job, then thats all that matters. Its the same with sports, etc, why does there always have to be winners, why cant we all go out and perform or do our sports or whatever just for the love of, it for my the only awards i need is the audience applause. and this is a forum for opions, everyone is entitled to it, same as judges, some will like peoples opions some want take it or leave.
