Hooray for Jenn! Wondering to see what will happen next week...remember 2 years ago when Lena Hall was snubbed from the Drama Desks all together, the other two women tied that night, and then Lena Hall won the Tony? Crazyyyyy

I was really hoping Block would win this, and carry that momentum to the Tony's. I wonder if Colella will be able to best Rachel Bay Jones.

Tune did announce there was a tie when he opened the envelope.  Then he did the proper thing by announcing one winner at a time.

Wow! Didn't expect Linney to win over Metcalf. Both are fabulous woman who are overdue. THE LITTLE FOXES seems to have the momentum.

Linney has now won this season's Outer Critics Circle Award and Drama Desk Award. Might she knock out Metcalf for the Tony next week too?
