Delicacy prevents us from getting too specific, but anyone at the Ivey Awards at the State Theatre in Minneapolis Monday night will know what we mean when we say "friends don't let friends present drunk." As we seek the answer, we pose the question: Was one of the actor/presenters really intoxicated at the podium, or was it just an act? Either way, it made us uncomfortable, and not in a good way.
