Variety: Most legit awards orgs are so old they began with a phone call or even a telegram. The Lilly Awards, which held its first celebration Sunday night in Gotham, is so new that it all began with an email.
On May 4, the day the Tony noms were announced, playwright Theresa Rebeck sent an email to some fellow scribes to complain, "Where are the women? In this year, the fact that there were so many important plays by women, and next to none received even a nomination, do we really think this should just go by without comment? Anybody got any ideas about how to make some noise about this?"
