As promised last week (with serious caveats), here are my nominees for the Carvy Olympia Theater Awards for 2010. I was obliged to pick a winner; my gut choices are printed in bold. This was a busy year for local theater, so if you didn't win, think of it as an honor to be nominated. And if you aren't on the list at all, assume you were brilliant the night after I saw your show. I can tell you in all sincerity there's not a category on this list that wasn't a tough call.

My apologies to the technical crew of End Days, who were inadvertently left off the nominations list in this week's print edition.
