Awards

We’ve been nominated for awards twice this year and I’m not sure I like it. Effectively, a group of people nominate you for their award and then invite you to come to their ceremony so that they can tell you that you haven’t won. They know you haven’t won before they invite you, so why not cut to the chase: “you were nominated you for one of our awards but hey, you didn’t win!”. This seems more sensible and would cut down on catering. I am however developing the technique of looking extremely unhappy when we don’t win. No “oh that’s great, they deserve it” expressions. Anyone watching me as the envelope opens should be able to discern the words I am mouthing as the winner takes to the stage. It requires time and practise, but I hope to set a new trend for nominated losers.
