[edit] Sandrof & Balakian awards & the NBCC page
It seems that just because no winner is listed at the NBCC site, it is not necessarily the case that no award was given. For example, this page on the NBCC site says that Pauline Kael was given a Sandrof in 2000, but there's no mention of her on the winners' page. So I've removed the "No award given" lines, and I'm looking for a more complete source. ShelfSkewed [Talk] 04:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- Hi again! I thought that may be the case when I added those notes, but for lack of better sources, I thought to leave it as it was; the official website is obviously still in the process of being updated as far as past winners go. Thanks for helping out! María: (habla ~ cosas) 12:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- A note of interest: Nona Balakian died in 1991, suggesting that the award was inaugurated in 1992 (for work during the previous year), which is why there are no winners to be found earlier than that. ShelfSkewed [Talk] 22:44, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
- Confirmed: I found two references to George Scialabba as the first winner of the Balakian award. --ShelfSkewed [Talk] 03:15, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
