Does anyone NOT win a Sony Award? There seem to be about a hundred winners every year.

The Rising Star award was voted for by the public though. Miranda Sawyer's one of them. She seems to be one nearly every judging panel around.



That's one of the judges. The superinjunction man.

Miranda Sawyer is also on the Tate Members Council.

I don't know why.

Ha ha, there's two of the buggers, too ashamed to admit it perhaps? (They must therefor get a fee to be on the panel, as what else would get you to take part in something you won't be happy to admit to in public?)

Bugger me blind, how many judges do they NEED for this thing?!

For a moment I thought song interpretive dancer David Armand of Fast and Loose and Sorry I've Got No Head was on the panel for a moment which confused me rather, then I realised it was just some bald bloke called John Baish.

That doesn't bode well.

Emma Barnet (who looks younger than me):

And her radio credentials are?..
Am I hard to please or does anyone else think you don't always have to have actually done very much to get on this panel provided you are young and good looking..and female?

I've found some radio credentials here, on her blog.

This is what I imagine judges for radio awards to look like:

Well I can't be arsed going through the whole enormous list, but of those whose surnames begin with A-F, there are 21 men to 10 women. Seven of the women are definitely middle-aged. I'd imagine that for a media person, radio is the medium where it's least useful to be good-looking. However, Emma Barnett's credentials are not helped by a) being a silly posh Tory, b) having a favourite tweeter and c) that person being someone who happened to marry a king.
