I like Borle better.

"Chitty Chitty Bang Bang woman" has a name, and she's fantastic. I'm really surprised and upset about McGovern, but Jan Maxwell didn't "steal it." She deserves it, too.

Surprised about quite a bit, but no O'Hare or Borle?!?!??? That killed me. Hate to say it, but I wasn't surprised about Raul, as much as I enjoyed him.

I am however THRILLED for Matt Morrison!

your right she does have a name!!!!!! I just didn't post it. I guess she, Jan Maxwell, is the one who sings win her husband the "Churchy-church, Teddy Bear" song, right?

Yes, and she's hysterical. Why is SHE the one who stole it from McGovern? re: Let the bitching begin!!!

You're ridiculous.

I didn't expect it either, cabarethed. Just disappointed anyway.

You're right, She didn't steal it, I'll change my tone......

Personally, I think McGovern should've gotten it over Keenan-Bolger.

It is what it is, though.

I'm sorry that Borle, Goldblum and Richardson were not nominated in their respective categories. (Though given the reviews, I'm not as surprised about Richardson.) I also wish Sarah Saltzberg had been nominated for Spelling Bee, but I'm not sure who I'd leave out of that category. (I don't really think O'Hara's part is featured...)

I'm not sorry O'Hare wasn't nominated...he landed some laughs, but in some scenes I thought he was too over the top.

Christopher Sieber was amazingly solid in Spamalot, and got a lot of laughs, and I adore him - but Christian Borle had me practically falling out of my seat every time he came on. His Prince Herbert alone should have gotten him a nomination. The guy is staggeringly good.

There's always room for pathos - and jazz hands.

I'll tell you why...maureen mcgovern is past her prime I'm sorry to tell you...

and as for brooklyn the costumes wer cool, yes. but any person with access to a dumpster could have made them.

as for disappointments...dracula should be there for SOMETHING orchestrations or set or something that's just ridiculous...

also...john lithgow was GREAT in DRS but I don't think his performance was "tony worthy" I feel like he just got nominated because of the name he has created for himself. norbert certainly deserved that nomination tho...im def rooting for him!!

but on the bright side of things YAY KELLI O'HARA!!! OMG YES!!

I'm in SHOCK that Borle got snubbed.

To Cathyhyatt:

Maureen McGovern is certainly NOT past her prime... Have YOU ever seen her do her cabaret show? Brilliant.

And if you think you can do better costumes than BKLYN why is your name not up there with the nominees?

Get a life!

"Brooklyn" definitely deserved a nod for costumes. That's not even a question.

no bitching needed, I'am happy with Lithgow. It's a beautiful day.

Norbert Leo Butz quotes about John Lithgow: "He's really clumsy. One of the joys in life is to watch a great big huge man totally wipe out backstage. It takes John about three minutes to hit the floor. It's like watching a Great Sequoia falling gracelessly."

They added an extra 5th nominee several years ago for the acting awards, and wasnt there 6 actresses nominated recently? The year of King Headley...wait a minute, checking Lost Mind database...

yup:
Juliette Binoche - Betrayal
Linda Lavin - The Tale of the Allergist's Wife
**Mary-Louise Parker - Proof
Jean Smart - The Man Who Came to Dinner
Lily Tomlin - The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe (which really makes no sense since she already won for this 20 years ago)
Leslie Uggams - King Hedley II

Can I bitch about the fact that Jason Gillman is slated to perform at the understudy concert on May 15 (he covers Norbert in DRS) and I'm going to be out of town??

That's what's provoking me the most today...
