Posted: 5/11/05 at 11:57amIdle got the consent of the rest of the Python crew to produce Spamalot, so I don't understand what the problem is. I don't think turning Holy Grail into a musical is "greedy", but rather obvious, inspired, and smart.

Posted: 5/11/05 at 12:13pmand I believe that the rest of the gang is getting a percentage? Am I correct in this?

Posted: 5/11/05 at 12:16pmAs one of the contributing members of the Monty Python group, I'm not sure it's appropriate to claim Mr. Idle is 'ripping them off' - rather like stealing from yourself, don't you think?

Even he says this show and his other stage shows are "lovingly ripped off from Monty Python."
What I mean is that I wish he would move on to something else because he's just being greedy at this point. Spamalot isn't a great show

Posted: 5/11/05 at 7:53pmBill Irwin said an interesting thing that I completely agree with. He was puzzled as to why director Anthony Page was not nominated. Since he directed "Virginia Woolf" and everyone in the four-person cast was nominated, it just doesn't make sense why Page wouldn't be nominated--esp. since there are only four directors who are up for the award. Very strange.

Posted: 5/11/05 at 8:14pmIndeed, the director does have a hand in the entire cast receiving individual nods. Does the entire nominating group vote in each category - or is it divided into peer groups like the Emmys - where actors nominate actors, writers nominate writers, etc.?

Posted: 5/11/05 at 8:20pmI think that Anthony Page would probably have made it if they could have added one more nominee. I don't know who I would kick out of that category (Crowley, Ellis, Hughes, Mantello), as each of the nominated directors did fine work.

Posted: 5/12/05 at 11:08amThe directing awards do seem murky this year. I really don't know who will take the direction of a musical award.

Posted: 5/12/05 at 11:28amAgree with most of nominations - unfortunately Raul was in with a tough group this year (the women's group easier to get into considering Dilly's nomination).
