| I'm utterly baffled with your take. Not being hyperbolic, I really am. Your reasoning for taking awards away from actors is "there is no dearth of acting awards"?! I mean, why not just cancel all but 1 or 2 awards organizations? Why even have the Lortels at all? WHy have the Drama Desk? Why have the Outer Critics Circle? Do you think that each season the same 5 people get nominated or win in every awards? Even if it's a lot of the same actors nominated by each organization, it is not actually all the same. The Lortel is a great example of that. This is an award where most of the nominees are not the same as the Tonys, and the Tony front runners can be beat by things not nearly as popular or famous. The Drama Desk is also. But I still can't wrap my head around logic or reasoning. For the entire time we've had actors nominated in each of the 8 categories... and 1 winner in each of the 8. Whether it's 4 or 5 in each, it is that. Those actors compete against 4 (or 3) other actors in their category. Now they compete against SIX other actors, and only one wins. Why is taking away the opportunity to spotlight and recognize great performances in theater something you not only support but think is a *better* idea??! The can of worms was opened already. Why are you afraid of opening the can? So the choice is tell non-binary actors they are forced to pick a gender for their eligibility, OR tell the actors there will be 3 less nomination slots and half as many people can win now? Ridiculous. Neither needs to be the way forward. There is NOTHING too complicated about saying "there are 10 nominees and the 2 with the most votes win." Whether they tie or are extremely close or not close at all is no one's business. Why are you worried about what people think about how the votes broke down to get 2 winners instead of just 1? There were always two, there's absolutely no reason to think that 2 of the 7 won't always be highly regarded enough to get votes. Either because everyone votes for 1 only and it's the 2 who get the most of the votes, or everyone votes for 2 only and it's whoever gets the top 2 rankings of votes. This is pointless madness, I'm sorry. |
