AM I the only one who finds it only "sorta" funny?

I'm with you on the "sorta" funny, but the ones that are funny are hilarious. My faves:

10:17pm
The camera cuts to actor and non-winner Brían F. O'Byrne, he of the í that makes me írrítated that Í myself am not Írísh and alas laddíe cannot have an í of me very own. I hear his Tony-losing performance in Doubt is not to be missed.

10:46pm
Bernadette Peters comes out, says "piazza," and leaves.

Nope, Margo.

Though I did really like the image of Turner ripping off JEJ's had and eating it.

What does he mean about the "All About Eve" moment from last year? I watched and don't have a clue. Anyone?

"Am I the only person that found this article offensive and ignorant?"

So far, yes.

It's all meant in good humor. Last year's was funnier, but this was pretty good.

Yes last year's was funnier, but this year's report had many moments of comic genius. By the time it got to Aretha Franklin, my co-workers had all gathered round to find out exactly what had reduced me to helpless laughter.

I think theatreboi needs a sense of humour though.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

10:09pm

"Then they bring out an actual live guy, Jesse L. Martin, to do a little song and dance and milk the now three-year-old Chicago marketing cash cow. Maybe I missed something, but how does "Razzle Dazzle" have even the slightest bit to do with dead people? I'll Google it."

This is funny. I felt the same way. I am glad I am not the only one.

I don't understand why I'm not laughing. I love sardonic, sarcastic humour.

But this was just bitchy and rather hateful...

I laughed at a few things, but most left me cold.

If you're famous, you'll be parodied at some point. I do think the "hee hee Jackman we all know you're gay" jokes get kind of tired the 659th time around, but what do I know? Anyway, this was a mixed bag- hilarious when it worked, but it didn't always work.

Hilarious and on point.

It actually made it worth sitting through the entire TV debacle just to appreciate this article!
Perhaps it was not a dream.

That's Judy Holliday from a cut number from either GREENWICH VILLAGE or SOMETHING FOR THE BOYS (both 2oth-Fox 1944).
