Common sense?

So, my department had an awards ceremony today. The only problem was, half the recipients weren't even there!

I suspect that the problem is that winners aren't notified in advance so that they can remember to show up. This isn't the Academy Awards--there is no list of finalists publicized in advance, or anything like that. Thus, if you want somebody to show up, you'd better let them know that their presence is encouraged.

Just a hint.

No, it didn't. But that may be because the free-food reception was held after the award ceremony in another room, thereby negating the incentive to attend the ceremony itself.
