Posted: 7/3/08 at 3:37pmI would have made this earlier but I forgot. If there has already been a thread about this please tell me. Did anyone notice when Whoopi was presenting Best musical she said In the Heightsing strange instead of Passing Strange.

I didn't read the other thread, but to me it sounded like she was just reading the nominees underneath the voiceover.
But if she accidently did announce the winner early, it wasn't a mistake. It's not like she said the wrong show. And when she actually announced it, the reactions showed that if there was a premature mistake, no one at Radio City really heard it.

Posted: 7/3/08 at 5:06pmI think when they read the nominees it is prerecorded. I don't know why they would do that, but the sound is different from when they read the nominees. So with that, I think the sound mixer overlapped her saying Passing Strange and In the Heights.

Posted: 7/3/08 at 6:40pmI was at the Tonys this year and the presenters read the nominees to the people in the audience but the people on tv heard a pre-recorded version on the nominees. So it just may not have been synced properly.
