It’s effected/affected everyone to some degree or other. Sadly even the KM UK Awards are not immune to the global financial crisis.
Belts must be tightened. No diamond-studded Ferrari’s for the bankers this year. The little ‘RichE’ statuettes have been melted down to make gold watches for their bonuses. Don’t worry, they’ll get their normal bonuses next year for (not) screwing things up again. Instead we’ve had to resort using the silver medals that Team Great Britain (and Northern Ireland) won’t be winning at this year’s London Olympics. We’ve even had to sell the red carpet (which would have been white anyway due to current the whether in England), so no parading up and down in inappropriately skimpy clothing for the time of year ladies. And, the budget will no longer cover the legions of scriptwriters, so don’t expect the usual comedy gold either. Sorry.
All the press attention might be going on the upcoming Oscars and this weekend’s BAFTAs but even in their reduced form these are the awards everyone really wants. Ladies and gentlemen, the Kathryn Morris UK Awards 2012.
