Well that's just not true, but OK."
It's an opinion. Opinions aren't true or false. But OK!
Hamilfans are insane. Respect opinions, please.
Award ceremony is underway! Can't wait to see who gets this year's Distinguished Performance.

I hope Laura Benati won't be too upset if she doesn't get the distinguished performer award this year

Oh shut the f*ck up. Also try spelling her name correctly.
In other news: THE COLOR PURPLE and A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE won the Revival categories!
To the surprise of no one: HAMILTON wins Best Musical!
Lin-Manuel Miranda wins Distinguished Performance!
Oh come on, HE got distinguished performance? He's not even the best in that cast never mind across all Broadway shows. It's like Hamilton overload.

Yay, congrats to Hamilton and LMM!
I'm actually surprised LMM won distinguished performance.

Once again proving people wrong that the industry is somehow 'sick of Hamilton'.

Did you see his performance? Or any of the performances for that matter?
Congrats on a WELL DESERVED win, LMM!

While I don't think he is undeserving, I think many other nominees were more deserving, and he probably won more because he created Hamilton.
Lin is excellent in Hamilton- he may not get the attention as a performer that some of the other cast members do, but he's every bit as great. Plus, he wrote the damn thing, so I think it's pretty well-deserved.
Indeed I did, I think Leslie was far more impressive

The Drama League voters are just random people who pay to be a member. It's not exactly "the industry."
Considering that Leslie Odum Jr. wasn't nominated, it would have been hard for him to win.
Though I am admittedly a bit surprised that Lin won, it doesn't take away from the fact that he completely deserves it. I couldn't be happier for him.

Okay, once again proving that in general people aren't sick of Hamilton.
