Jackenhacks co-host Steve Earl has stirred up a lovely pot of passive bile on his blog today.
As I know you're a digital person and can only microchunk (and therefore not read his whole post and the 20-odd comments), here's my summary:
Steve Earl: People are taking things a bit seriously, aren't they?
Someone: It's nasty. I'm boycotting it and you.
Someone else: Come off it, it's only a bit of fun.
Another person: I don't like it. It's got too personal.
And another: What's wrong with you all? They're joke awards!
Someone new: I can't bear it. I'm really upset.
Will Sturgeon: Ah well. Let's just all get pissed, eh?
I'm with Will on this (at the bar).

Looks like a fair summary Jon. I think it's endemic in the PR industry to over-analyse what everything 'means' and how it 'positions' us all in a terribly self-important way.
As you say the only positioning that will really be relevant will be locale of the bar, exit, taxi, travelcard, front door key, keyhole, bed... in that order.
Sod betting on the outcomes of the awards. I'm betting you get at least one of those in the wrong order.
Thanks Jon and well said. Hopefully it didn't cross the line on Wednesday, despite some people wanting to move it firmly towards the gutter!
