Remember that only about half of the voters were deemed qualified to vote for the sound design and orchestration categories.

TBV really is sweeping tonight. Personally, I'm a huge Tina Landau fan, but David deserves it.

Loved the SpongeBob segment...but was strange that he wasn't the focus.
Loved the Frozen segment. I loved Patti Murin but covered my ears to "Let It Go" (the song is so annoying).
I was surprised that the women were excluded in that Carousel segment.
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

Ugh, I wish Marianne and John could tie. They deserve it equally in my eyes.

Yeah...especially considering all the criticism the show was facing about the women characters.

Nice "In Memoriam" performance from DEH. Sad to learn that this was Will Roland's last performance with the cast, seeing as his last show was earlier today.

And also, I know it's not their intention, but what a great advert for the tour and the show in general. Especially after all that's been happening in the news recently with well-known celebrities.

I'm never going to get over or, honestly, forgive the people who made the choice to not dim the lights for Jan.
That was abhorrent, tacky, and something that forgive/forget doesn't cover. I'll never be able to respect the dimming of the lights ceremony again until the current administration is gone.
