The shortlist for Brandon Jacob-Jenkins seems like an attempt to make up for the snub of Octoroon.

Before this list came out I was already hoping for The Humans. I am actually attending a talk with Frank Rich and the cast of The Humans this evening. Wonder if it will be memtioned?

Every cloud has a silver lining --- or so we're told. In this case, at least The Humans didn't win it. And what about that unforgettable masterwork, John? Forgotten so soon? Ah, well. Sic transit gloria mundi, I guess.
