Your microwave, Jordan? An odd choice, but I share the sentiment.
Hah! Microwaves are a bit heavy for me... But I learned by lesson some years back after throwing a remote control at the TV when Brokeback Mountain lost the Oscar best picture to Crash. Luckily, the remote took the most damage and the TV escaped relatively unscathed. But it was still aggravating enough to replace the remote for me to never try it again.
I'm incredibly biased about Book of Mormon, and I hope it wins big tonight. If it gets Best Musical, Book, AND Score, I would laugh. I hope Scottsboro wins Score for sentiment's sake. But who knows what those silly voters might do. I'm also rooting for Rory O'Malley.
"And still others hate Book of Mormon and will resent every win because it's not as offensive as they expected the South Park Guys' musical to be."
I've read that statement about 5 times and am still stunned. While offensive can be fun (and it is in Book of Mormon), I can't believe people actually "hate" a show because it isn't offensive enough. Are you serious?
other than Best Musical the races are so open that any number of meltdowns could occur.
And that of course is all the more entertaining!
For my part I'm pulling for Mormon to take everything, but I don't think it will. It's not going to be the sweep everyone in the press is saying it will be.
I'd like Donna Murphy will rush the stage screaming wildly and rip her top off if she doesn't win.
I few things that need to happen for me tonight:
• Benanti for Featured Actress
• Scottsboro Boys for Score
• Stroman for Choreograph (and hopefully Directing) for Scottsboro Boys
Your microwave, Jordan? Please choose something you'd never miss. Like that copy of Emily Post's Etiquette you have laying around.
I don't gots that book no more. I was out of toilet paper last week so I finally put it to good use.
...aaannnd as always, he delivers!
My favorite thing about that book (the copy I have is from the 1930's) is that it assumes that the reader has a staff. It's a hilarious read.
wait....you don't have a staff? I thought everyone had staffs these days.
anyone wanna take any bets if sutton loses, hunter starts another anti-tony facebook page?
Beth Leavel taking leading actress - that bitch'll sting
Patash, a couple people showed up after the first preview saying exactly that. Other than the God song, they thought it was way too safe and sanitized. I guess they thought it would be the Terrance and Phillip movie within the movie scene from South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut and it wasn't. So yes, some people think it's not offensive enough. They're called trolls.

If Norbert Leo Butz loses to someone from Mormon I'll scream and throw things.

I will have a meltdown if-
Patti wins featured actress
Mormon loses musical
Sutton loses lead actress
Women on the Verge wins score
Sister Act wins book
Everything else would be fine...and by that I mean a Mormon sweep would just be peachy with me.

I will not be having any meltdowns....but Tony Sheldon better win Best Actor in a Musical!!! I saw him in Toronto and it was one of the best performances I have ever seen.....and The Book of Mormon better win a whole bunch of awards....I'm still singing the songs from that show in my head....it was the best thing on Broadway this year!!!!!!!!
I forgot Patti was nominated. If she wins, I will probably blink slowly while thinking "Did anybody else see what just happened?"
I'm sure Hunter, Cuddles and Meridee will come up with something to have a meltdown about.
We all know biggest pre-Tonys meltdown. Steel Pier Fan. :P
