No one has asked this, so I suppose it's time. I have my own opinion but I want to hear what other people think.
Should the 3 Billys Have Won the Tony Award?

So according to your theory, we should ask if every actor who has won an award deserved it.

Well, we DID talk about it ad nauseum BEFORE it was official.
But my vote: Nope.

They won, it's over, move on. (Although my answer would be no.)

I honestly think that all of the nominees in the category were deserving of the award...some more than others though.

I think they should have given then a special award HOWEVER I must say that I though they were AMAZING on the TONY'S
"Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world, I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport. General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around."

Absolutely. You can disagree if you want but the fact is that the MAJORITY of Tony voters agreed that they were the best.
Get over it.
Get over it.

I think they should have won a special Tony. The voters rewarded the role of Billy rather than the actors. They definately deserved something, because they are fantastic and work their butts off, but I would have rather seen Creel win for his mesmerizing performance, or Spencer for holding his own against Ripley, or D'Arcy James for creating a full, rich character out of bad material. But as someone already said, the Billy's won so we should move on and start bitching about the 2010 Tonys.
Oh, and I almost forgot to mention...I'm the good cop, he's the bad cop.

No, there were four other actors giving stellar performances eight times a week. Secondly, The voters only had to see one boy perform, so they couldn't possibly know that all three boys were worthy of an award. In conclusion, they should have made a special award for the three boys like they did for the cast of La Boheme.

We knew they were going to win the second they amended the rules and were nominated.
When they won it felt like some contrived Susan Boyle-esque moment which made my stomach turn.
"Angry Dance" does absolutely nothing for me. For a show so heavily based on dance, the choreography is pretty terrible.

Not to change the topic, but will each of them get the money, or will they split it?
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert

They absolutely deserved this award. They work there butts off every night that they are on stage.

This was a tough year for the leading men.
If the Billy's had not have won, I could see the Tony having gone to Creel, d'Arcy James or Spencer.
