The 2019 Paddy Awards were presented on Feb. 22, 2020. For each show, the cast and crew voted for the one person they felt exemplified the Spirit of the Show. Voting was competitive with many notes of appreciation sent between cast & crew. Because voting was so close, we added honorable mention recognitions:
