Pat "Bring your own lists" Ripped, honed, years of preparation, for that moment, when all your competitors are beaten. Yes, its the arts awards season. Booker wil beat Orange, Cannes will beat Oscars, Brat will beat Brit, brave reporters will struggle amongst the fighting to comment on frocks, and at the end, the awards speech...... Amongst the plethora questions come - how can a book be better than another, what makes a film more worthy than another; isn't it all personal and subjective. Are creative types selling out by seeking prizes? Should art itself not be its own reward? Why mark out of ten? Why not have an award for everything, best thing this year?
