The poll actually asks if you'd base your decision to attend on knowing who is nominated, not on whether or not YOU are nominated. I actually think it's a fair response to say that you'd like to know who is competing before you decide to attend the competition. Most people polled seem to agree...yet the attendance last night didn't seem at all hurt by the ITA's policy of not revealing the shortlist; in fact attendance was better than last year.
If you attend sports events, like the footy, you probably base your decision to attend on knowing which teams are playing, but that's not to say you wouldn't have a good time watching a comp played by unknown teams. And plenty of people book for the Grand Finals months in advance, not knowing whether their team will get to play...it's the event that's important, and the actual finalists may well be a surprise.
So too with the Finley Awards...the 'Grand Final' of WA community theatre. Your team might not make it through to the finals, but if theatre is your sport you can be sure you'll enjoy the event regardless of who plays.
There was some top entertainment, a lot of loyal team supporters, recognition of excellent achievement, and several very well-spoken presenters. (...'Best other than Pb', Dr J...I'm still laughing over that one..!)
I don't have the full list of finalists and winners, so rather than post an incomplete list I'm sure one of the ITA committee will post the full results soon.
Cheers,
Craig
