A prominent Estonian theatrical critic expressed disappointment that his favorite productions and performances were overlooked in the annual theater awards nominations.
Danzumees, an esteemed theatrical critic who reviewed 200 performances over the past year, voiced his concerns on Vikerraadio about the lack of nominations for what he considers the best roles and productions at this year's theater awards. He suggested that there should be a distinction in the award categories between word productions and other forms to ensure a fairer competition and better recognition for diverse creators. He described the past year as robust in theatrical offerings, yet felt that significant works were disregarded during the nominations process.
