Looks like a MEMPHIS, LA CAGE, and RED-heavy ceremony

This greatly increases Molina's chances of winning best actor. It's definitely a lock now for best play. I guess sitting through 90 minutes of pretentious dialog that leaves you feeling as though you've now been baptized in the "artistic" world qualifies as what should win for best play. I doubt half of the theater goers who see this actually comprehend anything much about the show.

I want to see Next Fall now.

I saw Red and very much enjoy it, and I like to think that I am not pretentious. It wasn't exactly a hard show to understand...I've had harder times understanding other shows.

I like this way of introducing the plays, I feel as though I understand more about them than I did when they showed clips.

I wanted to see NEXT FALL before, but now after that Tony presentation, I REALLY REALLY am motivated to go and buy a ticket!
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

OK, I did enjoy that non-scripted moment (I hope) with Chris Noth.

Next Fall and Time Stands Still were both much more enjoyable than Red. Either of those should be the winning play.

Marianne-
there were some excellent performances last year with much smaller venues than RCMH normally.
the whole show is just not on...people are not ON. are they missing ques?
but...I think Sean is excellent.

Nice change in the presentation of the plays. I loved the summaries from the stars. Would've been even better with perhaps some clips playing in the background.

Oooh Next Fall. That was the first time any of the play introductions made me want to see the show.

I actually agree the presentation for NEXT FALL made me want to see it, and I had no interest before.
Terry Johnson, yeah, he deserves it. But I was hoping for Bill T. Jones. I see him like Michael Mayer, without whom their respective productions wouldn't even exist. Oh well.. I don't see anything stopping LA CAGE, RED, and MEMPHIS from taking the big prizes now...

Someone should tell Jada Pinkett Smith that the effect of a standing ovation is negated when you're wearing a bitchface.

Ha Ha orangeskittles, yeah I agree, she should probably be at home finding a new profession for her son after his terrible performance in the Karate Kid remake.
