re: OFFICIAL TONYS 2006 WINNER/BROADCAST DISCUSSION THREAD

And I think it's hysterical because

1) I think this production of Sweeney is quite good in some aspects, not so good in others and ultimately a bit overrated. I actually predicted that Pajama Game had a decent shot at winning because I bet that while voters respected this Doyle production and knew enough to publicly express positive things about it, I've found in 30+ years of Tony watching that when voters mark their ballots they usually actually vote for the show and performances that they really enjoyed the most -- not necessarily the ones that got the best reviews. And I just knew more of them had a better time at Pajama Game than Sweeney, so I think it's funny that my theory bore out again this year.

2) I find it HYSTERICAL how upset and caught up some of you get over these things. If you don't have a personal stake in this -- like actually being nominated yourself or personally knowing someone nominated -- why on earth would you let any of this bother you? What does Sweeney winning or not have to do with your life?
