I mean, to be honest, it’s the best performance of the night so far."

I usually find the Tonys to be the worst produced of the EGOT award shows, but geez... Having empty seats is one thing, but not getting seat fillers in sections that you know are going to be highlighted in the broadcast is embarrassing.

 

Jake is right there, why is this happening…

Whatever you did with those 7 hours was a better use of time.

I was so surprised by how wonderful it was. Hopefully it comes back for many (or at least a few) holidays seasons to come.

Also, unless I missed something, Slave Play hasn’t won anything yet, and discourse has already started on Twitter.

It's down to 34% on Rotten Tomatoes.  It feels like a Ben Platt Razzie nomination is more likely than an Oscar nomination at this point.

Agreed. I don't understand why they opted for the Buddy the Elf hairstyle."

My theory is that his hairline has receded somewhat since the end of his Broadway run, and the stage hairstyle would highlight that more than having awful Annie wig bangs.

Whoopi has won competitive awards for all four.

This only cites an anonymous Academy source, but: "Sorry, the Hamilton Movie Won’t Be Eligible at Next Year’s Oscars"

Fosse76 said: "I remember hearing at the time he was the last holdout. I wondered if he finally agreed because they told him that they would simply shoot around him, and film his characters' scenes in an empty theater with someone else."

Didn't he finally agree because they reached a profit-sharing agreement?

On a related note, if anyone hasn't read it, this Bloomberg article is a really interesting look at the negotiating process, including emails between the cast members.

Jordan Levinson said: "Bottom line is, chances are Disney+ will remove this title whenever B'way begins its gradual reopening process, because Hamilton will most certainly survive and they have to keep making people buy tickets. If you keep waiting for it, you will probably throw away your shot. Hamilton is not to be missed."

Disney did not pay $75 million for this recording just to shelve it when Broadway reopens.  They couldn't care less about the theatrical production's ticket sales - they only care about adding/retaining subscribers for their streaming service.

LMM also responded to a tweet asking "For how long it will be available on D+?" by saying "You will just have it. For as many times as you like, right next to A Goofy Movie and Talespin and An Extremely Goofy Movie..."
