A NON b*tching Tony nominee thread

In the midst of all the complaining about the nominees for this year (ie: "Too much SPAM!"/"Where the f*ck is Maureen!?"/"More Little Women and BKLYN!"/"Wheres Raul!?"/"More Chitty and ASU!" etc etc etc) I'd like to begin a post where you each tell what your thankful to the nominating comittee for giving a nod. Discuss. :)

All of the Piazza nominations
Christopher Sieber and everyone else from Spamalot.
Cherry Jones

Overall, I'm pretty thrilled with what a great bunch of noms they turned out to be.

Oh Im also so thrilled for Sutton. Although her chances of winning are slim, she deserved a mention.

I'm very glad Gem of the Ocean was recognized, as was Phylicia Rashad. I was afraid this show would get overlooked.

Two words:

Sara Ramirez.

Yaaaaay!! I love her. And Chris Sieber and the rest of the Spam cast(though I have to say I liked David Hyde Pierce better than Tim Curry, but no one's bitching), as well as Billy Crudup. And Twelve Angry Men.

Well on a positive note:
Yeay for Sutton, Victoria Clark, Sherie Rene and Joanna!

Alright, still have yet to see Spamalot and Chitty, but of those I've seen I'm happy for:

The 4 shows nominated for musical, book, score, director, they all certainly deserve it, in light of what was left out.

Norbie(of course!), Lithgow, Clark, Sherie, Sutton, Joanna, Kelli, and Matthew.

Lots of noms for DRS and Piazza.

Piazza's technical noms.

Mary-Louise Parker... you are my hero... and yay for your Tony nomination!

Tee-hee... I was reading them in math class and did a little yell when I saw that... no one understands me... yeah, that's right, I got a little emo on you.

So psyched about the Piazza noms, especially for Matt and Kelli, obviously for Norbert, Joanna and Sherie, as well as MLP for Reckless, because she's a goddess.

::shuts mouth and avoids complaint::
I shall continue to b*tch in my head.

Very happy about all the Piazza noms.

My happy surprise was Bill Irwin for Woolf. I know the reception to him was mixed at best, but I really liked him - and meeting him afterwards turned out to be one of the more pleasant experiences of our trip. A genuinely warm and nice man who truly wants to give his all to the project.

I am very happy for Mary-Louise Parker and Laura Linney. I thought that they would be forgotten, but, in the words of Sondheim, "Happily, I was mistaken."

I forget...do the Tonys do what the Academy Awards do - last year's best actress in a musical presents to this year's best actor? (I don't have any old tapes here with me or I'd pop one in to check)

Because that would set us up for Idina possibly presenting to Norbert. I love little moments that reunite colleagues and pairings from previous shows (regardless of said show). (Not to mention onstage reunions like Sherie and Norbie!)
