The Theatreview Award for Best Ensemble Acting of the Year: Death & Dreamlife of Elephants. The Michael and Sharon Wray Award for Best Entrance of the Year: Byron Coll in Heat - it's hard to top being a painted naked penguin. Also, Byron Coll's robot man descending from the Downstage rafters in nothing but underpants and fake teeth in The Spy Who Wouldn't Die Again. The Award for Best Accent of the Year: Tim Spite's series of accent changes as he was successfully unmasked as a double, then triple, then quadruple, then whatever ten-uple is agent in The Spy Who Wouldn't Die Again. The Award for Best Line in a Kiwi Play: "My arch nemesis, a teapot!” Love in the Time of Vampires. The Award for the Best Actress to play a feisty socialist grandmother in the 1930's and a well-dressed gay man in the 1980's in a play about Robert Muldoon…ahem…of the Year: Jean Sergeant! The Award for Best Singing in a Play: Aroha White in The Bird Song. Simply mesmerising. The Costume Cave Award for Best Costume of the Year: Veronica Lake - a dress that doubles as the set. The Award for Best Unscripted Moment of the Year: Bryony Skillington. When an audience member entered the Bats auditorium through the fire exit door at the side to take their a seat in the middle of her monologue, only moments after a late entrance through the more usual door by audience member, Bryony went a tad off script in Christ Almighty with an exasperated - "what the fuck is going on?!" The Award for Best Stage Manager of the Year: Hannah Nielsen-Jones for No Taste Forever. It looked like she had her work cut out controlling that lot and the post-show clean-up! The Award for Best Death of the Year: Downstage Theatre because, in line with the traditions of dramatic deaths, the resurrection is coming! The Award for Best Newcomer of the Year: Hannah Banks - Good Acting (Rubber Room, Elephants, Young & Hungry), Good Producing (Engine Room), Good Directing (Everything is Surrounded by Water). And that's just the last 11 months in a year she also graduated! The Award for Best Actor/Actress playing a Political Figure in an Election Year: Three nominations: Allen Henry's Winston Peters (PSA), Phil Grieve's Muldoon (Slouching) and Harriet Cowan's Helen Clark (Engine Room). Tough one to separate. The Award for Biggest Fight of the Year: No Taste Forever. The biggest cast of the year. The biggest food fight ever. Messy. In every way. Never has the front row of Bats been so scary. I need more time to think about the other categories, but a final one:
