Seeing Julie White win a Tony Award will be "it" for me.
But, some other big surprises may be:
*Boyd Gaines beating Frank Langella for Best Leading Actor in a Play *Anthony Chisholm winning Best Featured Actor in a Play *David Grindley beating Jack O'Brien for Best Direction of a Play

Enough with Ebersole losing the Tony! Stop it! Stop it! Stop it! Audra will not win. Stop wanting this people! Ebersole has been compared to Angela Lansbury and Ethel Merman for God's sake! Why should she lose? I'd love it if Sheik loosing the Tony for his **** score for Spring Awakening and I'd also love it it Grey Gardens won Best Musical. That's about it.
The biggest surprise for me right now is that we're going to see it aired at all. And my fear is that it's going to be like last year's, which at times felt like some weird, incestuous family reunion, where everyone had slept with everyone else.

I think Mary Louise Wilson is the only lock in the acting catagories this year.

What makes you think they hadn't?
Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married. Oh, and this just in: "Pettiness, spite, malice ....Such ugly emotions... So sad." - After Eight, talking about MEEEEEEEE!!! I'm so honored! :-)
I feel very nervous that 'Mary Poppins' is nominated for Best Musical. I mean, 'Curtains', 'Grey Gardens', and 'Spring Awakening', I could realistically see situations where any of these three could win. And I wouldn't mind any of them. But then I remember 'Spamalot' and 'Jersey Boys' and I get all nervous that 'Mary Poppins' will win...
Think Mr. "you're projecting your intellectualism" will be at the Tonys as well? I did so enjoy his opinions at the Drama Desk awards. ^_^

Huh? Were you referring to me?"
Depends. Do you think all Chinese people are barbarians who just plain don't understand that white people are better? Do you have a tendency to overuse the word "warrior"? Are you prone to bleating "you are projecting your intellectualism on people that have no idea what you are talking about" to old ladies who aren't fortunate enough to have escaped conversation with you?
'Cos if that's you, then I think you're a folk hero around these parts. But I sadly doubt it is you.
"I think Mary Louise Wilson is the only lock in the acting catagories this year. "
I dont think Wilson is exactly a lock. I can see Karen Ziemba taking Supporting Actress from her, quite possibly. And I really hope Pierce or Cerveris take the Tony from Esparza. That would be both a suprise and a night-maker for me come June 10th...
