The New York Drama Critics’ Circle voted on its annual awards yesterday, and announced the results immediately after the meeting. To find out who won what and how we all voted, go here.
Two items for the record:
• I didn’t vote for any of the winners.
• Our bylaws specify that after the first ballot, each member must vote for three shows in each category, regardless of whether that member believes there to be three shows worthy of a prize. Therein lies a dilemma: if you don’t vote for three different shows, your vote(s) for the show(s) you did support won’t be counted. Hence I “voted” for second- and third-place shows in the Best Foreign Play and Best Musical categories that I did not in fact support.
If you should go to the NYDCC website and look at the balloting, please don’t draw any mistaken conclusions from my “votes” on the later ballots.
