BP jokes and Annie are a beautiful mix.

She's the BP that isn't ruining the planet.

I'm sorry, but the performance that I saw CZJ give in the theater was not that far from what I saw tonight.

Too much meaningless (distracting, even) head movement, not enough meaningful interpretation of some of Sondheim's best (and most famous) music and lyrics.

Helen Mirren... *exhale*

[strummergirl]

Posted: 6/13/10 at 9:45pm

Now this is a "Hollywood type" that I can totally support coming 'round Broadway.

Piper3500 -- well then who do we blame?

Yes, I admit I am blaming "the sound guy" whose fault it MAY NOT be. However, for the same exact issues to be happening two years in a row brings up a lot of questions. You would think management would want to make sure that, after last year, viewers could HEAR this year.

poor Jan... VIOLA VIOLA VIOLA or SCARLETT SCARLETT SCARLETT!

Wow! Helen Mirren! Wow- what a stunner! My teenage daughter said that's a pretty dress and her hair looks great! But wow!

was it just me or did Viola Davis just not thank Denzel?

[orangeskittles]

Posted: 6/13/10 at 9:49pm

So if the excuse for CZJ's performance is that it's an abbreviated, out of context performance, how come Christiane Noll entered the song halfway through at the climax and still nailed it?


I really liked the clips of the plays. Very well done.

Yay Fences!

[MissAnneThrop]

Posted: 6/13/10 at 9:50pm

i just asked myself the same thing. What about Denzel?

[PauloFanClem]

Posted: 6/13/10 at 9:50pm

Have no love and hatred to Denzel, but totally congraz to him!

[strummergirl]

Posted: 6/13/10 at 9:50pm

I do want to look like Helen Mirren NOW.

Well Viola can thank Denzel backstage.

CZJs performance came across as an audition for Norma Desmond...

And Best Actor in Play "to Grace Us with Their Presence on a Broadway Stage this year" goes to...

[MissAnneThrop]

Jada? Jada? Jada? What are you wearing and why do you look so unhappy?

[Luscious]

Posted: 6/13/10 at 9:51pm

Ugh. Denzel Washington. How unfortunate.

Posted: 6/13/10 at 9:51pm

Please, Denzel doesn't even know who to thank!

[wonkit]

Posted: 6/13/10 at 9:51pm

I wanted Molina to get this so much! I thought he was brilliant.

[raker]

Posted: 6/13/10 at 9:51pm

Isn't Denzel a good sport, not complaining about being woken up to accept the Whatchamacallit Award from the whatstheirnames.

[Piper3500]

Posted: 6/13/10 at 9:54pm

Viola has done stage before.
anyway, both she and Denzel deserved these. brilliance!!! enough of this Hollywood crap. their performances were amazing. i guess they knew what they were doing putting Viola up for best and not featured.

i was hoping for a featured actor win for it as well, i was happy about the choice.

I am not into FELA at all...i can take a break.
