Tony Awards should be renamed Popularity Awards — Page 2

muscle, being in a movie is not the only way of being an A-lister.

Stamos, Chenoweth and Neuwirth are all recognizable TV stars.

And Miller was quite the tabloid queen while she was married to Jude Law.

Either way they are all bigger stars then your precious Montego Glover.

So are u telling me that being a Tony winner is a reward for people who has a sucky career in TV and movies? A-list movie stars are actors. An actor should be able to do tv, movies and theatre. If these A-list people are good enough to win, they should win. Simple as that. You said it like Kristen Chenoweth shouldn't win her Emmy because she's an "A-list" theatre actress.

An actor should be able to do tv, movies and theatre. If these A-list people are good enough to win, they should win.

I agree. I find it very funny that some people are complaining about Hollywood actors coming to Broadway and winning Tony awards. Someone over on All That Chat said that Hollywood actors were 'stealing' the awards from other, more deserving New York actors. Yet if this Broadway actor or that Broadway actress does a film or a TV show and goes on to win an Oscar or an Emmey, most people here are pleased as punch to see a Broadway actor or actress succeed in Hollywood. It seems like there's a double standard: Hollywood actors can't do Broadway, but Broadway actors are allowed do movies and TV. It seems a little hypocritical to me.

"Zeta-Jones is a musical theater pro"

Hardly. She played Peggy in the 42nd tour after the lead fell ill. Then played a role in a Kurt Weill opera.
