Fancy That! An Awards Show That Disses Standup!

From the first paragraph of a comedy.co.uk article about the Britich Comedy Awards:

How time flies. Just as the harsh injustice of Ant and Dec winning a British Comedy Award and the disbelief that a comedy awards were held with no award for standup are beginning to fade into repressed memory along they come to do it again.

If we can parse this statement: Near as we can figure, the Comedy UK folks feel the same way we did when we applied for press creds to the American Comedy Awards of 2000 and found out, much to our horror, that they were no longer giving out an award for Best Standup Comic. We boycotted the whole affair. We suggest our compadres across the pond do the same.
