As I sat in the press conference announcing the nominees for the 2007 Dora Awards, I couldn't help but be a little shocked and bewildered.
I didn't see any of the productions in the Opera or Dance divisions, so as far as I'm concerned, each production definitely deserve to be nominated. I wish I could say the same about the theatre division.
This is my third Dora Awards, and I think this is the first time that I have wondered - WHY?
Here are some shows and performances that I feel were missed from the Nominations announced today:
Spamalot (Mirvish)
Outstanding Production Of A Musical
Michael Siberry - Outstanding Performance by a Male - Musical
The Chairs (Soulpepper)

Oliver Dennis, Outstanding Performance by a Male - Play
