I, for one, am sick of people calling other people dumb or morons because they had an emotional connection to a performance and wished that that performance would be properly recognized.
Obviously the lack of an award doesn't take anything away from that performance.
But some of us are passionate about it. That doesn't make us dumb. Dramatic? Sure. Overboard? Yeah. But it's (possibly misguided) passion, not stupidity.
