"Don't you think, though, that JUNO greatly hurts HAIRSPRAY's chances?"
Yes, I think you're right.
JUNO should appease those voters who want to see something a little more "mainstream" (at least in spirit) get in.

They don't make you a better actor, but they promote good work.
They also help negotiate how much an actor/actress will get on the next movie they do.

"then it's not being judged by merit...only by what's popular."
I talk a little about this in a thread I made on the Bway Board about critics.
With Clay Aiken in Spamalot, all of Broadway is singing a collective "There! Right! There!" -Me-
"Not Barker, Todd is the only person I've ever known who could imitate Katherine Hepburn...in print." -nmartin-
