Personally, I offiially don't get why they exist anymore.
There are audience awards to see what the audience likes most.
These clearly don't value artistic merit.
If they want to award 'fun' shows that they want to support finacially, I say they bag the whole thing and make a fund in the name of Mamma Mia.
"We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. Life's bounty is in it's flow, later is too late. Where is the song when it's been sung, the dance when it's been danced? It's only we humans who want to own the future too."
- Tom Stoppard, Shipwreck
