Did Norbert Leo Butz fail to thank his co-stars Aaron Tveit and Tom Wopat, or did I miss it?

So nice to see Norbert STEAL it! But pretty disgusting to find out that Chris Rock will be revealing the big one. The homophobe-supporter, giving the award for Best Musical? Considering the majority of those musicals would not have ever been written without the work of LGBT artists, I find it pretty disgraceful. Shame on you, Tony's.
Oh, well. It's always worth it for a Mark Rylance acceptance speech.
But sad for Mantello, who was equally as deserving!

Why is this clown presenting Best Musical? And giving birthday shoutouts?

Closing moments written by Lin-Manuel Miranda.
LOL That was a joke but then I saw on the credits that they WERE.

Sutton Foster has 2 Tonys and Barbra Streisand and Julie Andrews have none, and Ethel Merman only has one.

I want someone to get into Joseph Smith's Wikipedia page and include Tony Award for BOM.

Well if Barbra or Julie want Tony awards they need to do theater. What a stupid argument.

So Memphis go to perform after they won last year yet this year we can't get an additional performance from Book of Mormon. 
Can we start a petition for Hugh Jackman to host next year. Please, no more NPH.

Well, actually Merman had 2 Tonys. She won for CALL ME MADAM, and was given a Lifetime Achievement Tony in 1972. She was nominated a total of 3 times (also for HAPPY HUNTING and GYPSY)
Streisand was nominated for I CAN GET IT FOR YOU WHOLESALE and FUNNY GIRL but did not win. She was given a special award in 1970.
Andrews was nominated 3 times: MY FAIR LADY, CAMELOT, and VICTOR/VICTORIA and did not win any of those times.

"So when BOM wins in a minute, will they be the new record holder for most Tonys ever?"
No, The Producers won 12 awards.

Hugh's sexier. NPH's smarter. NPH got producing credit tonight. Maybe NPH did a lot of work off camera. Who knows?

Hugh Jackman AND Neil Patrick Harris to co-host!
( and then we do an "All About Eve" theme as each one trys to supplant the other w mayhem and scandal)
Seriously, I think Norbert is one of the finest performers out there but the speech sounded just a tech sanctimonious. I expect better of him ( well at least all his perfomances have been brilliant whether or not his show is)

I'm glad I tuned back in to see Norbert Leo Butz's and Larry Kramer's immensely touching speeches. I just needed a break, especially after Nikki M. James went into hysterics.
