No mention of Amelie. :/

That was a real snooze. Isn't it time to put Riedel out to pasture and encourage him to find a job where he provides something that someone actually wants?

And why is he so obsessed with Groundhog Day?

It's tough for him these days when it's a slow death week.

Probably so he can position it as this season's underdog and try to take credit if it's successful. Riedel also likes taking shots at the shows/performances that are considered locks for awards -- see pretty much everything he's written on HAMILTON -- so it makes sense he would try to position Andy Karl as Ben Platt's "spoiler".

He'll be wrong there, again.

I'm really glad he included Come From Away! I really think it's going to be a surprise hit.

Remember when Bullets Over Broadway became the biggest hit since The Producers?

Sometimes, for a laugh, I go back and watch old TheaterTalk episodes on youtube where Riedel predicts the Tony Awards-- Out of dozens of predictions over the years, I think he's been correct twice... Can't they just make Jesse Green the full-time host and be done with it?
