Best Female Breakthrough Performance
Christine Ebersole as Big/Little Edie - Grey Gardens
Yeah, a lot of the nominations are bogus. Ebersole is not a breakthrough. Tons of other nominees didn't fit into their categories, neither. But who cares? This is for fun.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

Posted: 12/29/06 at 9:12pmFYI - for anyone wondering - I'll state again that these nominations reflect the members of this board and not my own personal views. I will say that I did vote, though....and none of my votes had any bearing on the winners.

Ebersole and Leavel? "Breakthrough performances"? What? Have you all only been following musical theater for a year?
