I think the reason that so many posters on ATC are obsessed with the Tonys is because so many posters here are American. Americans have a fetish for awards, contests, rankings, lists. You see it here pretty much daily in one manifestation or another. Obviously, it is not a unanimous fetish-you and I may have been inoculated against it. (Or maybe you are Russian, as your name suggests, and not American at all.) It is not just about Broadway ; it's every where. I just read an article about Spring Training: "ST games don't count," it said. They don't? Tell that to the kid who got cut because he struck out every time he got up to the plate.

I'm American from Russian stock, actually. So perhaps that confirms your theory.
