This is for all the people who didn't get a Finlay award nomination to 'comment' on who/what was/wasn't nominated. Just getting in first. Go on, you know you want to . . .

Knifed in the ... Tombstone!

I cannot believe it!

I was sure there would be a new award for Ham 'Acting' and I was convinced I would be the inaugural winner, for my astounding performance in TIP TOE THROUGH THE TOMBSTONES.

Without putting too fine a point on it, my death scene was, well ... unforgettable AND, as I had so few lines (a MINOR!!! role Madame Director!!), for once, I didn't even muff the three or four, admittedly poignant words entrusted to me.

Worse! Worse! I see that, that, that woman!, with her leopard skin pill-box hat and her heaving breasts, HAS been (has been? Me?) nominated. 

The whole things obviously rigged!
