Drama League Awards - Distinguised Performance Award

Posted: 4/22/08 at 7:43pm

I cannot believe that Alice Ripley was not nominated for "Next to Normal." I mean they nominated James Snyder for Cry Baby!!!!


Anyway, I hope that Deanna Dunagun or Amy Morton take it.

I believe only one actor can win, so the chances of both LuPone and Benanti winning are extremely slim, if not nil. I think LuPone may take it, though Patrick Stewart is a possibility. It's a real shame Kelli O'Hara, Boyd Gaines and other notables were looked over, however.

OK, CATERED AFFAIR won Distinguished Production of a Musical, and didn't even get a Tony nomination

Are the awards always this weird?

Further proof why A Catered Affair should have been nominated over Cry-Baby.

Earlier this year (and even in this thread) everyone was bitter about how the Drama Leaguge was wrong in not nominating certain people (Kelli O'Hara most notably) and nominating others (James Snyder for example).... but as soon as they choose A Catered Affair as the best musical, suddenly the Drama League is smarter than the Tony nominators.

We never said they were smarter than the Tony awards, we were just happy that A Catered Affair is getting the recognition it deserves.

The Drama League voters are a group of nobodies who pay $40 a year for membership and voting privileges.

Any person on this board can become a Drama League voter for $40.

I'm happy with the results this year, but these awards have zero credibility.
