In recent years, haven't they been doing most of the creative awards during the commercial breaks?

I enjoyed the Red Carpet FB live by CBS.

Not in the US, and the LATAM broadcast seems to be delayed by two hours so I just got an USTVnow account.

Stage design of a musical: The great comet!

Anybody on here knows I am a massive Comet fan, but Dolly's costumes were on another level. 

Totally agree with these awards so far! Yay!

Well, Great Comet won't be completely shut out. But that was the no-brainer that even people who hated the show thought it should get.

Indecent: lighting design of a play!

So thrilled that Jane Greenwood FINALLY won after 21 tries!

Can't wait to hear her speech. Hope she got a standing O!

Wayman, the Playbill Press Room Blog said that she did receive a (much deserved) standing ovation :)

When he put the cast on his LEG?!  Andy Karl's face!?  Best moment ever.  Loved every second of the opening.  Amazing!!!

Wow Kevin Spacey. This is amazing! This is so exciting!

I didn't know Kevin Spacey could sing. But that opener was amazing.
