Should there be a "No Award," like the Pulitzer sometimes does? I think even the Tony's a few years ago couldn't come up with a single nominee in one of the categories. Although the award for Best Production rewards all the artists that have a part in the work. (Most of them have no say in the programming.) If Man of LaManch truly is the Best Production, then the team deserves the award, no? An interesting question.
