MagicToDo82, if you saying that you want Spamalot to win Best Musical, but you don't think that it will, Well I think you may get your wish!!!!!!


Two that I feel really strongly about are featured acting in a musical, and I'm using the word probably will win, in order to keep my hope alive

Actress: probably will win- Sara Ramirez
Want to win: Kelli O'hara

Actor: probably will win- Dan Fogler
want to win- Matthew Morrison

Although, if I could only get go with one, I'd go with Kelli!!!!!! I want Victoria Clark to win too, but I think that I'm pretty safe with this one!!!!!!

Chita, I think I just wet myself...

[tagiunagi]

Posted: 6/3/05 at 7:51pm

Anyone who thinks that Christina should win for best actress in a musical clearly didn't see Sweet Charity... or for that matter, Piazza.

[Pinguin]

Posted: 6/3/05 at 8:05pm

You know, it's funny, 'cause I think all the sudden Applegate buzz is so random...I actually would think Victoria Clark's biggest competition would be Sutton Foster, but now I feel like in the past week or two it's become all about Applegate. Not that I think that Victoria has anything to worry about :0)

I will still say Matt should win.

Maybe it's the language geek in me - but they we he just seamlessly swichtes amazes me.

Plus the acting and singing is all great.

[PJ]

Posted: 6/3/05 at 11:49pm

I'm certainly hoping for at least one major upset Sunday evening. I look for it to be in one of the acting categories--musical or play.

[BobbyBubby]

Posted: 6/4/05 at 12:10am

I think Matt Morrison gives the best performance in his category.

Fine, like Christina Applegate, that's great. But wanting her to win over Clark baffles me.

Posted: 6/4/05 at 12:15am

Matthew Morrison is awesome... I like Christina and thats only because I havent seen or heard any of the other nominees other than Sutton which I would like to see her win just to make Little Women feel better bout closing but you guys know more than I do... so yeah... but Matt should win and so should Norbert and someone from Spamlot should win something
