-- "even though she may be giving a knockout performance to some it seems like they have had their fill of Gypsy and want sdomething new. Gypsy is a great show don't get me wrong, I still think it was too soon for another revival..."
Okay, seriously? Now you're going to claim that she doesn't deserve the recognition because this Gypsy revival was too soon after the last one? My God, this is absurd. That has nothing to do with whether her performance is considered the best one by an actress in a musical this season!
It's been made very clear (although fairly incoherently) that you want Ms. O'Hara to win. That's great. Really, it is. But you can probably stop searching for ludicrous reasons and suggestions as to why Ms. LuPone is undeserving.
Because in actuality, she IS deserving and, fortunately, the individuals who can actually make good on it seem to know that. For instance: the Drama Desk voters, the Drama League voters (hell, they gave her the award in a category with 70 performers), and the Outer Critics Circle voters. It's likely that the Tony voters know the same.
But then again, that's only been confirmed by ALL the pundits in the industry. So I'm just crazy for thinking Ms. LuPone has the Tony and deservedly so, right
I know it might seem strange, but you never know, the voters could feel thatw ay, but I am not physic and I do not know how the voters minds work. Yes I want to Kelli, but now (its probably way too late) I still the element of surprise to be in this category still have anticpation instead of feeling like okay its actress its patti's award...next. Just becuase she has won all outside awrds is no clear indication that she will the Tony, it ups her chances, but it is not and I repeat is not a guarantee and if patti doesn't win so what, its she said the bottom is only plastic. I don't want to admit but if Kelli loses, remember if then I too should remember that statement, but til then go Kelli!!! Plus if you read the Philly Inquirer the chief drama critic says that they voted for Patti, but also says not to count the other contenders out, which is what I am doing and if you don't like too bad. If you have every right to say Patti has it in the f***ed bag, I have every reason to say the opposite.
