There were many featured performances I wished I could have included, but 6 is pushing it as it is. I thought Reichard was wonderful, but Hoff is the one that really stood out, atleast for me.

Sorry you're disappointed!

How can anyone take you seriously?

You wrote in Amanda Peet for best actress. That's a joke. She's a joke.

You voted for THE BLONDE IN THE THUNDERBIRD.

Enough said.

Nice to see you included Lestat as best musical (it IS much better than Tarzan, Lennon and In My Life, by a long shot). Also it does deserve recgonition in the technical catagories, good call.

To each their own but you didn't think Lestat deserved a score nom? I admit the lyrics are weak but the melodies are absolutely gorgeous.

No, I'm sorry, I hated LESTAT. I put it in "Best Musical" because there was nothing else. It was the lesser of the other evils.

Broadway86, what's your question? What's not to understand? You seem so easily perplexed.

My statement to Muscle was in response to his objections to my nominations and this his PM's to me ripping apart my choices. What's not to understand?


LAST DAY TO VOTE! DON'T MAKE ME NAME NAMES!

bump. just a few more hours...

Posted: 5/17/06 at 2:21pm

I think Muscle has a serious problem

I thought it was a very reasonable ballot. I do feel that Drowsy had excellent lighting for a musical. But i was going to vote for Purple anyways.

Also Thank you for putting Sutton back where she belongs in Featured.

[munkustrap178]

Posted: 5/17/06 at 2:45pm

Your welcome!

Although, I do wish I had considered Sutton, Ivanek, and Chita as leading so it would be more consistant with the Tonys, but oh well.

Winner announced tonight!

[BwayBaby18]

Posted: 5/17/06 at 2:48pm

But Sutton isn't the leadign female role in "Drowsy Chaperone". Frankly there is no leading lady.

Also why did you do away with best cast overall?

[munkustrap178]

Posted: 5/17/06 at 2:52pm

I forgot that I had that category until I went back and looked at last years' results. I guess I just thought it was stupid.

Thanks for all of them! Winners in a few hours!

More votes please.

It's strange - in most of the big categories, the winners are leading by nearly two dozen votes.

In the supporting actor/actress/musical/play categories, it's all basically anyone's game still.

Make the difference, and vote.

Where's all the Tarzan people??? Munk, I don't like your personal bias in these awards!

[broadway86]

Posted: 5/18/06 at 12:29am

I also don't understand why Zoe Wanamaker isn't nominated, yet Lauren Ambrose is. Updated On: 5/18/06 at 12:29 AM

[munkustrap178]

Posted: 5/18/06 at 12:41am

I was more impressed by Lauren Ambrose than Zoe Wanamaker, and I considered Zoe leading, so in my mind, she was in no competition with Ambrose.

Personal bias, liotte?

The only thing I thought of nominating TARZAN for was the lighting, and it just didn't make the cut in the end.

Stop acting like I'm the only one that hated the show and stop acting like I'm the only one to snub it of nominees. I didn't find it worthy, the Tony's didn't find it worthy.

Just because it amuses you doesn't mean it's good. Sorry, but it's not.

I don't understand how that could be, but okay. Updated On: 5/18/06 at 12:44 AM

We all have different opinions on what "amuses" us. We have different tastes in shows, let it be.

That being said, these awards are your opinion of who should win, because you already eliminated plenty of shows and people. This munky/monkey award thing is a joke.
