Ummm.... huh? Okay, let me put it this way, so that you might understand what's going on here. Someone has to play Judas Iscariot in Jesus Christ Superstar on Broadway, right? And, if someone like, say, Ben Vereen does it, and does a marvelous job and is nominated for a Tony award, don't you think he deserves a Tony award nomination? Or would you be personally offended, and think society has gone crazy if he were nominated or, God forbid, won, because his character betrayed Jesus Christ? I mean, if you honestly think Larry Blyden in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum was more deserving, that's fine, but you can't discount Ben Vereen's performance just because he played the bad guy in your eyes and the eyes of the Catholic Church, or call him a Satanist for doing so.
That's pretty much what we're doing here. We're awarding someone for a marvelous performance as the bad guy. Am I making any sense here?
