ray-andallthatjazz86, I read in article that said Julia Roberts was being submitted for Best Actress and Meryl Streep was being submitted for Supporting. Not sure how accurate this source is: http://www.goldderby.com/news/4656/meryl-streep-oprah-winfrey-oscars-entertainment-news-386149257.html

I'd love to subway but am forced to cab because I have a walker and the subway system as a whole is pretty inaccessible, even though some have elevators (not many). Will have to try the bus next time I'm in the city. Glad you enjoyed your trip!

She said in an interview that her take on the character in early readings really helped to develop the role into what it is now. So I'm not saying you're being too sensitive because I totally see where you're coming from, but she had a hand in creating the character, so I doubt that was the intention.

It sounds like this play is directly connected to McNally's short one-act and subsequent film Andre's Mother. Can anyone comment who saw the original play or film? Fascinating that he's revisiting these characters, if indeed he is, in a "sequel" of sorts. Thanks for the review, perfectliar. Regarding the original one-act (I've only read it) couldn't have been more than ten minutes long, so maybe he likes telling this story in short chunks.

Thanks, WiCkEDrOcKS, that makes me fill better. I remember changing them before the ceremony last year, but this year they must have disabled that this year. Or maybe I'm just crazy.

I only got 500 this year and last, but last year I did much better category wise. I wish I'd waited a while before making the predictions. I got almost everything right in a column I wrote for my college newspaper online, but I didn't think to go back and change my Audience Rewards predictions at that point.

But really, GatorNY, I want to see that photo of Tony Yazbeck.

Christine Ebersole's "Another Winter in a Summer Town" and the moments of Mary Louise Wilson screaming for her to come back before you know whether or not she actually does. Also, the window framing her face at the end of both acts. The last twenty minutes of Wit. Certainly not a twist, but gut-wrenching all the same. Kristine Nielsen's phone call in the second act of Vanya and Sonia Dan and Gabe at the end of Next to Normal. The beauty of the wedding sequence and the final moments of the rec...

Kristine and David were extremely kind to me at the stage door. Signed and took photos. Sigourney also seemed lovely but I wasn't in her path. Billy was the only one who seemed to want to avoid the crowd, as seems to be common based on this thread, but on the day I was there he was chatting with a friend near the curb, which is certainly understandable, and his hood was up so not many people noticed him.

It definitely seems like it's Patina's award to take. I honestly thought that was a general consensus. Patina is leading the hottest production of the season and giving a breathtaking performance. If she doesn't win on Sunday, I'll be shocked.

Patash, I agree with you. I too avoided it during previews and certainly regret that now.

I've watched this many times, but it still makes me smile!

I also want to echo the previous poster's question. I have mild cerebral palsy and walk with a walker, so seating is ideal, but if I'll be seeing significantly better theatre, I'll stand for 90 minutes if I must.

I wrote this in my journal while the play was in previews. Obviously I was wrong, the play is incredibly successful financially, and maybe even artistically by some standards. The reviews I read were extremely tactful and sort of danced around the flaws of the script: I love Nora Ephron and her work with all my heart. In the weeks following her unexpected death last summer, I really felt like I was mourning the loss of a friend, and certainly a mentor. I have such a strong desire to write and...

Yes, Pattil did replace Zoe Caldwell, and if I remember correctly she wanted to be the replacement for the Night Music revival, but Bernadette got it instead. Didn't she say in an interview that she "called Trevor" but he never called back? Or was that in reference to when the revival was getting off the ground, before Zeta-Jones was cast?

Bumping this because the video is hysterical.

For those who've been recently, how long does the cancellation line appear to be?

Has anyone, by chance, tried the cancellation line?

Has anyone else seen this lately? Will it be a hit or sell-out, do you think? I'd like to wait until Tuesday when I'm in the city to buy tickets, but I'm afraid the performances next week might sell out with a great review.
