Totally, totally, totally agree!!! It sticks in my craw all these years later that Herman's "simple, hummable showtune[s]" (his words) were deemed "better" in comparison to Sondheim's most passionate (my words) score. I know there are many who think awards don't matter - that all they end up showing is the political side of the entertainment business, but I always want to believe they stand for merit and I reject the notion that La Cage is "better" than Sunday. But La Cage does have some terrific songs.
