#32re: Nominees for the 1st Annual Yankeefan Awards for Excellence in Theatre
Posted: 12/25/06 at 11:36pm

I'm just wondering whether you folks who are voting for best and worst actors/replacements/breakthroughs, etc. actually saw the actors in these roles. The reason I'm asking is that I heard lots of first-hand reports that do not square with many of your choices. Or is it that people with strong opinions about policy voted just to 'send a message' to future producers/directors??... I noticed that several of the nominees who were considered crossovers from other media were summarily dissed (like Julia Roberts, Tony Danza, Usher, Constantine Maroulis), though I read many posts of people enjoying them in their roles. Are people just anxious to keep crossovers out?

I am a fan of lots of these shows and the actors in them, but since I did not have the opportunity to see any in person, I will not vote.


Here's to Patti And Tina And Yoko, Aretha And Nona And Nico And me
