Posted: 5/23/11 at 11:28pmWOW John Larroquette pulled out the win over Rory O'Malley. And yay Laura Benanti.

Posted: 5/23/11 at 11:31pmNot surprised Edie Falco won, but really wish Judith Light took home the trophy: she was phenomenal in Lombardi!

No O'Malley or James! This is wonderful. Nothing against them, but they don't deserve it, in my opinion. Let's hope the Tonys turn out like this too.

Posted: 5/23/11 at 11:31pmPersonally, I wish O'Malley had won, but thrilled Benanti won.
I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Posted: 5/23/11 at 11:32pmI agree regarding James, but not O'Malley. I didn't think John was very good in How to Succeed. If Tom Wopat were nominated for the Tony, I would root for him over Rory, but alas the Scottsboro guys took two of the slots. I would prefer Rory to the other 4.

Very happy to see Benanti continue her winning streak.
I think Larroquette will win the Tony because (1) he's great in the show and (2) it's a way to honor How to Succeed since it will likely lose Best Revival. And Benanti will win her second Tony because she really was the best this year and sometimes voters can't deny that, even if the show has closed.

Congratulations to Laura Benanti - I couldn't be happier!
So she won the Drama Desk and Outer Critics' Circle... does she have a shot at the Tony?

YAY very unexpected and fantastic choices here.
THRILLED for Benanti, and I actually loved Larroquette in the show, so his win is exciting! Cannavale pulls the biggest upset of the night! Congrats!

THRILLED about Norbert and Laura. THRILLED!
Larroquette is the second most deserving in that category and should take home the Tony for sure. Though it certainly should have been Wopat's from the start.

Posted: 5/23/11 at 11:41pmWOAH. Norbert! I'd be thrilled if he could pull that off in a few weeks.

WOW!! I really thought that all these awards shows would be all Mormon and even thought it would even have a shot at beating The Producer's record. If the Drama Desks are any indication (which they are usually fairly similar) then I could not have been more wrong! I am thrilled that Norbert won and am completely in shock about Bobby Cannavale

Looks like Benanti and Foster are guarenteed their second Tony Awards. I am perfectly okay with this because they are both very talented women. I'm very happy Norbert won. He's always been one of my favorite Broadway performers.

Posted: 5/23/11 at 11:55pmWell we all know the Tony is going to War Horse, but I had hoped that the Drama Desks would have actually awarded a worthy play.

Lies, it's all up and no big surprise with those winners.
Honestly, if the Tonys end up anything like tonight did then I will have nothing to complain about.

bjh2114-
This is one year more than perhaps any other that I wish there was a separation in the play categories between an award for the play's script and an award for the play itself.
For me, WAR HORSE was the best play I saw all year, but in no way shape or form did it have the best script.
