I loved the evening, but please, next year be sure that presenters know how to pronounce the names of the nominees. When I was honored to be a presenter at the very last LA Weekly Awards, I went so far as to contact a couple of the nominees personally to make sure I would do them the courtesy of not mangling their names. I cringed far too many times, and these are Shakespearean actors who should know better than to not do their homework.
