NOTE:

The letter 'S' stands for sweep. If the winner received at least twice as many votes as the runner-up, an 'S' will appear above the picture.

[Victoria and Norbert walk on stage]

Clark:
Welcome to the first annual Superficial Awards, hosted by BroadwayWorld. Being an actress on Broadway is very rewarding. However, even more rewarding is winning a Tony for your performance.

Norbert:
Yes, that's right. And no matter how silly your name is, it is always nice to hear it called when you win a Tony.

Clark:
Well, I wouldn't know about the name thing.

Norbert:
Well, I know....too well.

Victoria:
Well, shall we get on with the awards? The first category is Nicest Actor in Person.

Norbert:
And since neither of us were nominated, the public had to settle for my friend and co-star Gregory Jbara.

Yaaay Greg! He really deserved that one.

Clark:
Any theatre actor knows that Stage Presence is very important.

Norbert:
Yes, it is. And you cannot win a Tony without having it. And the Superficial Award for Actor with the Most Stage Presence goes to Hugh Jackman.

Clark:
Was there any surprise there?

Norbert:
I'd say not!

Norbert:
Dancing is key in a musical.

Clark:
Even though I don't have to do it in mine.

Norbert:
I jump around a lot - but I dance through life naturally. And the award for Best Dancer goes to Hugh Jackma

THIS IS HUGH JACKMAN'S SECOND AWARD OF THE NIGHT.


Norbert:
Didn't he wear that last year?

Clark:
It's Hugh, he can do whatever he wants.

Was Sutton supposed to be nicest in person?
