"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.” ~ Muhammad Ali

No, you guys. Everyone hates Raul. No Tonys for him.

Don't hate me....but I didn't see Caroline or Change, so I can't comment on Pinkins, but having seen the OBC of Wicked, if they had to have given it to one of em, I'd have given it to Chenoweth, no contest.

I just wish I could have seen the Tonya Pinkins everyone else raved about in Caroline or Change. Unfortunately, when I saw the show, her voice was shot to the point of distraction. She cracked on the opening line and it was downhill from there. I just felt this underlying tension the entire show whether or not she was going to get each line out or worse, if she would be replaced by her understudy mid-performance. Anika stole the entire show with I Hate the Bus.

*Bertie Carvel (MATILDA)-Hands down, one of the best performances that I have seen!
*Jeremey Jordan (NEWSIES)
*Alan Baldwin (MACBETH)-Stunned that he didn't get anything
*If Andrea Martin wasn't nominated for a Tony this year, i'd say Lauren Ward would have won for Matilda and she deserves it, but Andrea deserved it so much than the others

Joel Grey for Anything Goes, Sierra Boggess, Sherie Rene Scott and Tituss Burgess for Little Mermaid, John Vickery for Lion King, and a few other people that I forget should have been at least nominated

I admit I was dazzled by Alexis Smith at the time, but gossipguy is right: the 1972 winner should have been Dorothy Collins for FOLLIES.

And it's absolutely ridiculous that Julie Andrews has won every award in the world except the Nobel Peace Prize and the Tony Award. No doubt the former will come first.

Bernadette Peters- GYPSY
Alan Cumming- MACBETH
J. Robert Spencer- next to normal (I find it wrong that the Billy Elliots were even eligible to be nominated like that...)

Also, not a performance, but American Idiot should have won for best orchestrations, and Kevin Adams lighting design for both shows he was nominated for in 2009 blew Billy Elliots lighting design out of the water
