About the only awards show I ever watch - maybe because the stars and the shows are stuff I have never heard of.

Half an hour into it, and we have only heard the productions numbers and the reactions from the audience. The on-stage mics are not on, or something. Nothing from the presenters or the artists' mouths.

Moving lips, but no sound.
