The news of these 2011 FAD awards, unfortunately, has been that the mystery about the winners yesterday before the ceremony was already broken, because what had not happened in 53 years of awards, that the winners leaked, yesterday happened. The members of the FAD were a little stunned by a situation in which the announcement had already taken place and the party lost some of its characteristic glamor. In short, "netica" things or their lack.
