BWW said it was updating live but it's been 45 minutes and there have been no updates.

Any word on winners yet?

They couldn't do any better when selecting the interviewers on the Red Carpet? Who the heck are Phillip and Marabell from The Broadway Channel ? They are just terrible. Jim Caruso is well, Jim Caruso. A triple bomb-cast.

I've seen better amateur video interviews here on BW !

^To See Rock City no less... that show barely had a cohesive book.

Really wishing I'd have seen SEE ROCK CITY now.

You really didn't miss much. The first 20 minutes were great. After that, it went downhill quickly.

It's not streaming anywhere this year?

Mormon Lost best Book because it is not the best book and very over-hyped.

Is it bad that my first thought was "BWW screwed up. Book of Mormon and See Rock City are next to each other on the list, and they bolded the wrong one."?

I am just so surprised that it won music and lyrics, yet lost book, which is the award it is basically guaranteed to win at the Tonys.

DirectorGP, did you see See Rock City?

Mormon winning score is a bigger LOL. It's clever, but nothing remarkable. Surprised to see it NOT take Best Book though.

There haven't been any further updates in the past 45 minutes. What other winners have been trophied?

Based on Theater Mania's tweets, it appears as though some of the special awards were given out in the past 45 minutes or so.

If I were watching these live I may have shut them off by now.

[bjh2114]

This is taking forever. The actors must all want to kill themselves by now.

Also, Rain just beat out Newsical for Best Revue. Why?

While I'm not surprised at all that Brian Bedford won, I wish it had gone to either Christian Borle for Peter and the Starcatcher or Zachary Qunito for Angels in America.

Yay Brian Bedford! I wish he was in this more appropriate category for the Tonys.

BENANTI WON!!! WOO!
