that Michael Sheen rightfully deserved a TONY nomation for his performance as "David Frost"? I was BLOWN AWAY by the two of them going at it for 2 hours. It was THE MOST enthralling play I've ever seen (albeit, I say that about every show, but yeah...) I'm purchasing the paperback version from Barnes&Noble. Seriously. Peter Morgan best write another play. As much as I admire his screenwriting, he's MEANT for the stage. And yeah, Michael Sheen = SUPERB.

Poor Michael Sheen! He's the Loser of the Year. First, he didn't garner an Oscar nomination (for THE QUEEN) and now he was snubbed of a Tony nomination.

Well, he certainly deserved an Oscar nod (who voted for Mark Wahlberg over Sheen?), but this was a crowded year for leading actors in a play. I think it's hard to say that the folks who got nominated didn't deserve it: Boyd Gaines, Bryan F. O'Byrne, Frank Langella, Liev Schreiber, and Christopher Plummer, that's a pretty tough list.

Haven't you only seen 3 plays ever?

It was the most enthralling of the "three" he has seen. Hence, "I've ever seen," not "best play ever."

Let's not try to discredit opinions.

I wasn't trying to discredit his opinion. I was confused because of the extreme use in his language. It made me think whether or not it was he who has only seen 3 plays. I got all confused, lol.

He was good, but he was no Frank Langella. It was a crowded year too. Oh well.
