CIRCLE AWARDS

As producer of the recent Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Awards, I feel a reply to Lin Shaye’s letter last Sunday is needed to clarify the situation.

If Shaye was not so close to one nominee, she may have noticed there were three categories, not one, that had nominees but no recipients. I felt it was kinder to just list the nominees in the printed program.

The show’s host, Nan Martin, did announce early in the program that the Circle honors “excellence” and not “best” and therefore there would be multiple recipients in some categories while other categories would have no recipients.
