Since this threat kind of turned into what should/shouldn't have one, here are my opinions on some of the most wretched (more recent) Tony travesties.
1.) THE LION KING loosing best musical to RAGTIME. Completely and utterly uncalled for and shameful.
2.) Mary Stuart Masterson loosing best actress to Jane Krakowski. Both were extraordinary, but Masterson's role required more brilliance and heart - and she truly held that show together. I fell that she was the real star.
3.) Ashley Tuttle from MOVIN' OUT being nominated for best supporting actress, leaving out Laura Benanti for NINE, Jackie Hoffman for HAIRSPRAY, or Kerry Butler for HAIRSPRAY. Clearly, that was a major mistake.
4.) Bernadette losing to MJW - enough said.
5.) TABOO not winning best score. If it had lost to CAROLINE OR CHANGE, that would have been cool. Clearly, TABOO was the best score of last season and was completely screwed.
6.) MILLIE winning over URINETOWN - tragic.
7.) Harvey Fierstein winning over Anotnio Banderas - I just really think that was a huge mistake.
8.) AVENUE Q beating CAROLINE OR CHANGE for best musical. Awful.
9.) Idina Menzel winning the Tony. All other nominees in that category gave superior performances to hers - In my opinion, Tonya Pinkins was the true winner last year.
