Tony Debate: Reed or Plimpton: Who Will Win?

Posted: 6/11/08 at 7:32pm

For me I think Martha Plimpton will win because not only have I heard raves about her performance in Top Girls many people think she should have won for Utopia last year.

But then again I have also heard raves about Rondi Reed.

Your Thoughts?

I'd love for Reed to win, but many have pinned McCormack to win.

I think that if there is a August sweep then it will go to Reed, but if we the awards are more spread out it will go to McCormack.

Ms. Rhondi Reed gave one of my favotite performances of the season.
I hope she takes the award home.

Oh my god I forgot about McCormack's hilarious performance. I think they actually might give it to her because August is going to sweep other categories. I think Boeing- Boeing will walk out with at least one award and I think they will give her the award if they decide not to give Mark Rylance the tony.

Boeing may win three awards - Revival, Actor and Featured Actress for McCormack. August will be just fine with Play, Actress, Director and Set, at the very least.

I think Reed will win because August will sweep. She gives an excellent performance in an excellent show. It's her award to lose at this point.

I loved all 3 performances and would be happy for any of them, but I honestly think Mary MacCormack will win the award on Sunday.

Is it terribly shallow of me to pull for Rondi Reed to win, just because we share a first name?

Plimpton is even factoring in to the debate?

For me, the debate would be Rondi Reed or Mary McCormack. I keep going back and forth.

I hope McCormack wins, but I have a feeling that with the AUGUST sweep, Reed will take it.

I think Plimpton might pull an upset, if anything for being passed over last year.

As much as I love Plimpton it will be McCormack!

I'm hoping Reed wins, but I have a gut feeling McCormack will take it.

I truly hope Rondi Reed wins.

I'm predicting Mary McCormack to win -- she's got a lot more to do than the others, she's hilarious, and nobody who has seen the show will have trouble remembering the contribution she made to it.

Reed is nearly as likely to win because of all the "August" love, but she disappears for a long time in the show and also, voters will probably have seen "Boeing-Boeing" more recently.

I think Plimpton is being given more of a chance than she in fact has because she lost a tight race last year and because she's one of the hardest (and most) working actors on Broadway. But how many voters do you think have actually seen Top Girls?

I don't know, but I found Rondi Reed to be spectacular, electric even.
