Guess this means Score/Book will not be televised again this year...

Does anyone know if there's an online video stream of these awards? I looked on the Tony website but didn't find anything.

All it says is 14 categories.  Subtracting the 6 design awards leaves us 8.  Do you suppose they would count the honorary awards as Creative Arts?  Otherwise, lumping together Book, Score, Direction, Choreography, and Orchestrations still leaves us 2 categories.

The press release says it will all take place before the telecast. So does that mean they won't be giving out some of the awards during commercials this year?

"All it says is 14 categories... Do you suppose they would count the honorary awards as Creative Arts?"

A little math tells us that those 14 must include the honorary awards.  There are only 24 competitive categories.  At least 12 of them will be on the telecast (the 4 show awards and the 8 acting awards).  That would only leave 12, so for the Creative Arts telecast to have 14, some of them MUST be honorary.

I believe there are 5 categories of honorary awards this year, so that brings it down to 9 competitive awards in the pre-show (I'm guessing the 6 design awards, choreography, orchestrations, and book, with both directing categories and score making the main telecast).
