You are, of course, absolutely correct on all your points; and it's probably fair to say that the Green Rooms, with their complex and endlessly worked over system of peer assessment, are the most credible awards we have, and they are created out of an enormous amount of voluntary time. I really don't mean to dismiss the hard work of you and Alison Croggonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398213223487458758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202906.post-61342564441224206632009-04-23T18:23:00.000+10:002009-04-23T18:23:00.000+10:00Dear Alison,

In the case of the Green Room Awards, sometimes people do put up amounts of money as memorials or prizes, but, in those cases, we always make recommendations and leave it to the donor to decide. In effect, that award operates in parallel with the Association's awards. Those types of prizes weren’t actually Mark Williamshttp://www.greenroom.org.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202906.post-79494319863734154642009-04-23T13:01:00.000+10:002009-04-23T13:01:00.000+10:00Fair dos.

Even so, I think they should have cheques attached...or would like them to mean something more, in a culture where, say, art happens on the front pages of the newspaper and leads the nightly news. Ie, I know I'm wondering about something impossible... In the meantime, it's nice if they go to the right people.Alison Croggonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398213223487458758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202906.post-39704606498045505882009-04-23T12:11:00.000+10:002009-04-23T12:11:00.000+10:00I need prizes.I need prizes.Casey Bennettohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00069992763893159912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202906.post-7130061591863506952009-04-22T14:15:00.000+10:002009-04-22T14:15:00.000+10:00Hi Nick - yes, theatre awards are wholly vexed.

And we had a very strong year here last year too, which the complete dominance of SOS in the Companies section seems, rightly or wrongly, to erase. I hasten to say, I adored that production, which I thought remarkable - on which note, you can't tell me that its complete absence from Best Production/ Direction/Actors noms in the Sydney Critics AwardsAlison Croggonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398213223487458758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202906.post-21099599908650772622009-04-22T12:07:00.000+10:002009-04-22T12:07:00.000+10:00It's interesting Sarsparilla was largely ignored i...It's interesting Sarsparilla was largely ignored in Sydney especially after such positive reviews. But it was a pretty strong year up here in Sydney - especially within the independent sector - so I don't think it's fair to say it got a 'snubbing'.<br /><br />It's actually quite tenuous trying to draw comparisons between the workings of the Melbourne and Sydney theatre awards.<br /><br />In fact Nicholas Pickardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06765213293334506905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7202906.post-87628901494410594332009-04-21T21:09:00.000+10:002009-04-21T21:09:00.000+10:00say = saw
