DRAMA DESK AWARDS - WEBcast Live NOW! [SPOILERS] — Page 30

Wow. Exactly what I am expecting of the Tonys:
Best Book: Bee
Best Score (or here, Music): Piazza
Inexplicably, Best Musical: Spamalot (the show that didn't win a technical award).

No, they said Spamalot won. They just said Piazza and Doubt got the most awards.

My highlights of the evening.

Janine and Kyra performing
Denis winning
Sherie performing

*yawn* well, I'm gonna call it for the night.

Try to have a good night's sleep everyone.

---

That doesn't make sense. "Piazza" was winning every other award.

goodnight as well. Tony thread should be great!

---

Goodnight Everyone! Even though Spamalot won it was fun. I hope to see everyone here in two weeks to comment on the Tonys.

There are SPAMALOT fans, we just don't think it should have won.

'Night. Do you think my school will mark my tardy excused if I tell them I was up watching the Drama Desk Awards?

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

---

Yup, doesn't make much sense. Whatever.

Let us just remember that WICKED won the majority here and that it only won 3 tony's... Donna Murphy won the Drama Desk I believe...so things can very well change. Tony voters need not have their final ballots the the accounting firm until 50 hrs before the Tony telecast! Thats a big deal, a lot can happen in the next two very telling weeks.

DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS, DOUBT, 12 ANGRY MEN, & LA CAGE AUX FOLLES - ALL THE WAY BABY! ALL 4 of you DESERVE THE TOP AWARDS!!!

I think it's also funny that not only did Spamalot not win Director, Book, or Music, but it was also shut out of the acting awards, and let's face it, w/o the star casting this show wouldn't be as popular as it is. It, like The Producers, is a star driven show (but hell, at least they acknowledged it w/ The Producers, in a way, w/ wins for the actors)...Does that make any sense???

I enjoyed it. I had fun (twice!), but I just don't think it's deserving of Best Musical.
