Posted: 6/16/08 at 2:53am...how awesome next year's will be instead? Seriously, I sat through all three hours complaining, "Meh, predictable. Can't this be 2009 with title of show and the Merrily revival and other, well, interesting things like that?" Yes, it was the year of the plays, but c'mon, anyone with half a brain could see that August: Osage County had it wrapped up. When your show needs to get performances by not only new, non-nominated shows, but old classics like Lion King and Rent, you know that your show is just not memorable. And man, speaking of Rent...sad...but, that's besides the point. Bring on 2009!

Yup. The technical awards were fun to watch, but once the main ceremony began, the results got a little predictable. Ah well. ^_^

I Tivoed and I watched the ENTIRE show in less than 45 minutes AND this was watching the selected acceptance speeches and watching EVERY single musical performance and Whoopi's bit on the plays.
Thanks to Tivo, you don't need to waste your entire evening watching this crap anymore.

For the first year in a long time I felt that there were no surprises, which was nice because I favored the winners, but it did take a lot of the stressful-fun out of watching.
I was just relieved that the GYPSY trifecta won.

I just kept thinking that the people in my living room better eat all those snacks they brought, cuz I don't want them left around here while I'm working at home this week!
TOO TEMPTING!
