Well as one who only ever watches stuff by accident.
I must admit to never having seen the awards all the way through.
I gather from the threads here about them it raises the temperature a little for some.
As far as I know it is only held once a year,therefore will watch it with a veiw to possibly enjoying it for what it is to me.
That is a chance to see some performers that I wouldnt normally bump into down at me local,hopefuly performing something I am not familiar with to a good standard.
I like the Jim Moray song that someone put alink to on a previous thread.
Even if I were good enough a performer,and my music could pass for folk,I wouldnt put myself forward for anything like that.
SO good luck to all who want to be involved and well done to all those who already are.
