Dora Awards 2023 nominations: snubs and surprises

The historical drama Red Velvet, the beautiful Uncle Vanya and the musical take on Alice in Wonderland are among the most-nominated shows at this year's Dora Mavor Moore Awards, announced at a live press conference this morning at Meridian Hall.

The ceremony itself, recognizing a full year of fall-to-spring productions for the first time since the 2018-2019 season, will happen on June 27 at Koerner Hall, hosted by Craig Lauzon, with musical guests the Jason Wilson Quartet.

Remember to vote for the Jon Kaplan Audience Choice Award here; the deadline is June 21 at 11:59 am EST. The winner will be announced at the June 27 ceremony.

Here are some Dora nomination surprises and snubs (you can find the complete list at the end):

Surprise: Outstanding new plays are outstanding  

Perhaps because of a backlog due to pandemic closures and delays, this was one of the strongest seasons for new Canadian work. And the nominees in the General Theatre Division Outstanding New Play category reflect that. Kanika Ambrose's our place, Tawiah M'Carthy and Brad Cook's Maanomaa, My Brother, Erin Shields's Queen Goneril, Anosh Irani's Behind the Moon and Paolo Santalucia's Prodigal are all mostly deserving nominees (I wasn't wowed by Maanomaa). It's especially nice to see Santaluccia's first-ever play get nominated.

But what a shame more formally experimental and challenging works like Ho Ka Kei's (Jeff Ho) Cockroach, Makram Ayache's The Hooves Belonged to the Deer, Marie Farsi's adaptation of André Alexis's Fifteen Dogs and Olivier Choinière's Public Enemy didn't get nods. Just shows you how strong a year it was for new scripts.

The list of Independent Theatre Division nominees is equally deserving, consisting of Haley McGee's The Ex-Boyfriend Yardsale, Matthew MacKenzie and Mariya Khomutova's First Métis Man of Odessa, Deanna H. Choi and Maddie Bautista's Love You Wrong Time, Hengameh E. Rice's Anahita's Republic and Curtis Campbell and Daniel Krolik's Gay for Pay with Blake and Clay.

I'm especially happy that the fall remount of the savage satire Gay for Pay got a nomination, since when it debuted at the Fringe a few months earlier I wrote "If this show were being mounted during the regular theatre season, it would likely be up for awards." Sure, it scored one nomination, but it's a big one. Let's hope there's a sequel.

Snubs: The Seagull, Doubt, Indecent, The First Stone and Things I Know to Be True

It seems weird that five of the most acclaimed and/or popular shows of the season received a grand total of one Dora nomination – Things I Know to Be True received a nod for Nick Blais's exquisite lighting.

I figured Daniel Brooks's stunning production of The Seagull at Soulpepper would have, bare minimum, scored nominations for director and leads Hailey Gillis and Paolo Santalucia, who delivered focussed and grounded work. I was also pretty sure Deborah Drakeford would have earned an acting nod for her nuanced performance in Doubt. And it seems bizarre that Indecent, which made several best-of-2022 lists, went completely unnoticed by the Dora jury (I'm especially disappointed that Matt Baram wasn't recognized for his deeply moving portrayal of stage manager Lemml). Considering its timeliness and its artistry, it feels like an insult not to reward Donna-Michelle St. Bernard's epic play The First Stone in some way. And three things I thought would be true were that Tom McCamus, Seana McKenna and Christine Horne would be acknowledged for their work in the runaway hit Things I Know to Be True.

Speaking of acting nominees...

Surprises: Ali Kazmi and Dan Mousseau

I was hoping both of these actors would get some recognition at the Doras, and it happened – Kazmi for his wrenching turn as an exploited undocumented worker at an Indian restaurant in Behind the Moon (one of four wide-ranging roles he took on this season) and Mousseau as a drug-addicted, truth-telling black sheep of a prominent family in Prodigal, one of the most thrilling breakthrough performances in years.

Surprise: d'bi.young anitafrika is nominated for the second time in the same role

No surprise that the 20th anniversary remount of trey anthony's 'da Kink in My Hair should get lots of Dora love, including nods for Outstanding Production, costume design (Rachel Forbes) and sound design/composition. The unusual thing is that d'bi.young anitafrika, so powerful as the young abuse survivor Staceyanne, should get a Dora nomination for Outstanding Performance in a Featured Role after being nominated in the category of Outstanding Performance by a Female in a Principal Role (anitafrika identifies now as non-binary) back in 2004 for pretty much the same performance. Also, I guess in 20 years the part somehow changed from Principal to Featured.

Snubs: actors Steven Hao, Amanda Cordner, Chelsea Russell, Sarah Gadon, Nabil Traboulsi

What's slightly jarring about anitafrika taking up one of eight nomination slots in the General Theatre Division is that that slot could have been taken by any number of worthy featured performers doing new work: Chelsea Russell (for Fairview), for instance, or Tom Rooney or Peter Fernandes (Fifteen Dogs), Vik Sahay (Behind the Moon), Veronica Hortiguela (Prodigal), Mirabella Sundar Singh (NEW) and Rosemary Dunsmore (Public Enemy).

Other obvious snubs in Leading roles include Steven Hao (Cockroach), who delivered one of the most jaw-dropping performances of this or any season, Amanda Cordner (Body So Fluorescent), both in the General Theatre division (Cordner was acknowledged for her work in the Theatre for Young Audiences show Snow White); and Sarah Gadon (Yerma) and Nabil Traboulsi (MARTYR), in Independent, although the latter two shows received deserving nods for co-stars Daren A. Herbert and Adriano Reis.

Surprises: the Uncle Vanya design team, sans director

It's not surprising that most of the entire Uncle Vanya design team, including Julie Fox and Joshua Quinlan (scenic design), Kimberly Purtell (lighting) and Thomas Ryder Payne (sound design/composition) should get singled out for their elegant and immersive work. But how then not acknowledge director Chris Abraham for orchestrating all of these elements and earning the show an Outstanding Production nomination?

Other overlooked director nominees include Peter Hinton for Hooves and Sabryn Rock for our place (like Vanya, nominated for Outstanding Production).

Snub: Rachel Forbes's design for Of the Sea

Rachel Forbes had a fantastic year, as illustrated by her deserving double nominations for her 'da Kink and Fairview costumes. But how to explain her stunning sets and costumes for Of the Sea being left off the Opera Division design shortlist?

Surprise: RETOLD in the Musical Theatre Division

I can't find any reviews of RETOLD, produced by the Musical Stage Company, Toronto Public Library and Yonge Street Theatricals, even though it received nominations for Outstanding new musical, direction and two performances in a featured role. It would have been nice to have been "TOLD" just once about this show that featured talents like Kat Sandler, Fatuma Adar, Starr Domingue, Tracy Michailidis and Kaylee Harwood, all nominated.
