2002 Awards - Jumping to Conclusions (Part 1)


Way (3), Hedda Gabler (2), Major Barbara (4) only managed one win (Elaine's). The Goat or Who is Sylvia? doesn't count (see "Animals" above and "Punctuation" below), nor does Thoroughly Modern Millie (see "Adjectives" above).
  • The Ladies beat the Men! The Phantom Lady (1 nom, no wins) and The Women (4 noms, 2 wins) beat The Elephant Man (5 noms, no wins) and The Man Who Had All the Luck (2 noms, no wins). Although the men managed 7 nominations to the women's 5 (yeah, men!).
  • Scary creatures don't win awards. The Elephant Man (5 noms), The Golem (1), Monster (1), and The Phantom Lady (1) pulled no awards.
  • Don't be so loud, it won't help much. tick, tick... BOOM! got 1 award in 8 nominations, and Noises Off got 3 out of 8.
  • Telling us what planet you're on doesn't win points, especially if it's the same one we usually live on. Wonder of the World got 2 nominations; World of Mirth got 1. Neither won.
  • Leave food out of it. The Spitfire Grill's 4 nominations and Swimming with Watermelon's 1 did not garner any wins. But, hmmmm, do they cook The Goat?
  • Points for punctuation? The Goat or Who is Sylvia?, Oklahoma!, and Urinetown! had a combined 20 wins. But Mamma Mia!, Morning's at Seven, Summer of '42 , To You, The Birdie! and tick, tick... BOOM! had only 2 wins between 'em.

    To be continued...

    Our congratulations are extended to all the players. Win or lose, remember it's not brain surgery!
