Yankee's Favorite Quotes: BWW Members React to the Tonys

This probably doesn't deserve it's own thread, but, hell, why not?

Here are just a few of my favorite reaction quotes (for the sheer absurdity of them), posted by your friends and neighbors on BroadwayWorld. I'll keep everything anonymous to spare animosity, embarrassment, etc. No fights on this thread, please. It's meant to be humorous. If you posted one of these quotes, feel free to defend your opinion, or, keep to yourself, so that way you won't be lambasted.


"And yes, I think his win is tarnished by the obvious outcry here....."
"DHP should go to Hell. i hate him alot"
"i think even DHP knows that he didn't deserve to win"
"I wish they would stop giving the Tony's to people for other shows then the ones they are nominated for."
"Raul was tottally f***ed."
"Well, this award is called "Best Leading Actor in a Musical", not "Best Friendy Guy in the Musical Industry"."
"Absolutely disgusting... wow"
"I was thoroughly pissed when DHP won. It ruined my night."
" I screamed "WHAT THE F*CK?" at the top of my lungs. I reminded in a state of shock for 20 seconds."

Get some perspective. It's really, truly, 100% not the end of the world, people.

I yelled fvckity fvck fvck a lot.

But as the night wore on (and seeing how last year's Tonys went) I realized that these awards are complete and total bullsh!t.

David Hyde Pierce gave one of the most geniune speeches of the evening. How these people YankeeFan has quoted could be so mean is beyond me. I was rooting for everyone in the category but Jonathan Groff, so it didn't matter to me who won. I'm thrilled for Mr. Hyde Pierce.

the sad thing is 70% of those quotes came from raul himself.

Does "Friendy" mean he has a lot of MySpace contacts?

---

lol papa!! so true.

---

who's Raul?

i posted the one about DHP knowing he shouldn't have won...and i'm not embarassed for posting it at all. If you look at his reaction and see/read his speech he acted as if he honestly didn't think he was going to win. And i'm sure a lot of people think he shouldn't have and a lot of people think he should have.

I mean is it the end of the world? obviously not, but i thought it was a bit rediculous.

While I think it's laughably ironic that nearly all of your favorite quotes pertained to the lead actor award, even I think these are funny. I was disappointed, but it's these kinds of ridiculous, over-emotional, insanely hyperbolic statements that make Esparza's fans look bad. It's upsetting, and I'm easily one of his biggest supporters, but even I want to tell some of these people to get a grip. My God, he didn't die.

"DHP should go to Hell. i hate him alot"

I remember seeing this when it was posted. I'm laughing out loud right now because especially when taken out of context "the morning after" these are all really funny, lol
