Its so... mechanical and cliched for the stories we Queer people are allowed to have, complete with the straight lead character who is inspired by the Saint Gays. The show would be infinitely better without Dee Dee and if Emma had some real flaws of her own to overcome. But, as is usual, a queer story needs to have a straight lead... for sales... Its not as bad as a story of the AIDs crisis being fronted by 2 straight men who are moderately upset at... gentrification... which is caused by the hard working black man... blech... but I thought after Fun Home got the tony... it meant we could be the main characters of our own story. We deserve that dignity. And the score was... typical...

I have noticed that the largest publications like the Times have been trying to push for a Prom win, and pretending a show as anti-Capitalist as Hadestown has no message, and that also makes me want Hadestown to win big.

The only upsets I am really rooting for is Ain't Too Proud for Best Book and Damon Daunno for Best Actor, though that is going to go to Santino for... I guess for dancing in heels... I just didn't like Tootsie. And I cannot remember any of the music. It actually bothers me that I can't remember the music, I try to recall Unstoppable and can't think of any tune other than Impossible from Cinderella. And I remember songs. I saw a production of Windy City 15 years ago and remember songs from it."

Ok, why did you read my mind and take the words out of my mouth? I agree, 100%.

Absolutely no upsets. 
Predicated by the press almost across the board.
