The Awaresie Awards, honoring excellence on Broadway, the Broadway Internet and beyond, have been announced. The Awaresies were created to spread awareness of lesser-celebrated creatives within the industry as well as highlight important (and maybe some not-so important) entities that contribute greatly to the community.
Nominees were handpicked by Annoying Actor Friend after a happy hour, and winners were voted on by the Awaresie Academy, which is a group of over 60 industry professionals (actors, writers, producers, media) and friends chosen by Annoying Actor Friend.
The second annual awards were feature appearances from Cameron Adams, Iain Armitage, Laura Benanti, Mo Brady, Andrew Briedis, Craig Burns, Mike Carlsen, Gavin Creel, Max Crumm, Frank DiLella, Tina Fey, Brian Gallagher, Kathryn Gallagher, Megan Hilty, Rachel Hoffman, Sarah Marie Jenkins, Nikka Graff Lanzarone, Ashlee Latimer, Zachary Levi, Lesli Margherita, Ellyn Marie Marsh, Chris McCarrell, Chelsea Nachman, Keala Settle, Jeff Richmond, Matthew Rodin, Krysta Rodriguez, Jennifer Ashley Tepper, Roma Torre, Jennifer Simard and Alex Wyse.
