I can't believe she wasn't nominated!! I'm still like "wtf?!?!?". She's so amazing in Xanadu!! U-N-F-A-I-R!!

Better question: why is there no similar outpouring of bewilderment over The Seafarer not getting nominated for Best Play?

because the sefarer isn't kerry butler and so it doesn't have a bunch of tween fangirls up it's ass.

This many question marks and exclamation points over something so trivial????!!?!?!?!?!?!????!?!!!!!!

The word isn't "losing", I believe the word is "lost".

I'm still in shock...as long as she gets the Tony nomination it'll hopefully make me a bit happier.. as for right now... im in a serious state of shock.

I love Sierra, saw her in Mermaid and thought she was great! But not as great as Kerry, Kerry is phenominal.

Testing -- I was personally devastated, but I was trying to be sad quietly :~)

(and I apologize, I think we've slightly threadjacked this one, at least I think that's the term)

She'll get the Tony Award nomination, which is more important and meaningful. All the off-broadway actresses will be shut out.

^ Can something be called a shut out if you're not even eligible?

I have learned to TRY and take these noms lightly--- dont want it to spoil the passion I feel for these shows (and performers)

I REALLY miss "Seafarer" !!

Testing --

I'm right there with you -- every weekend as I'm first waking up, I think I have to hurry to catch the train...

Then I remember I'll never see 'Seafarer' again (at least not with that cast) :~(

And that makes me VERY sad

And I feel the same as you do about the awards --

I was so happy for Conleth Hill (even happier than I'd have been if Jim Norton were nominated), but sad for the play itself. It seems like such a slap to me. And it's hard for something you love so much to be snubbed so

Smaxie --

You shouldn't have gotten us started... ;~)

She needs to hire Victoria Clark's publicist; he clearly can work miracles.

I love Kerry, don't get me wrong. However, Sierra's just a better performer in general. That girl's voice! Jeez.

[MTVMANN]

Posted: 4/29/08 at 7:28pm

Actually I stand corrected......5 of the 6 actresses on the bill are in a BROADWAY show, so she may not get the Tony Nomination after all.

Sierra's just a better performer in general.

Better than Kerry Butler?! Please, elaborate.

Posted: 4/29/08 at 8:46pm

No - Pleae don't elaborate. I've seen both Kerry & Sierra and IMHO I think Kerry was sooo much better. And every time I go to the show (21 times now) I think to myself how amazing she really is... giving it her all 8 times a week. I'm still upset about it.
