no noms for Odd Couple?

I don't think it was that good.

A lot of the "star" shows got snubbed.

I didn't care for it either. I know the general consensus seems to be kind of blech about it, but I'm thinking it's gone a bit downhill lately. The replacement for Garrett was terrible (just a bad Brad impression) and Matthew Broderick was pretty terrible (a HUGE disappointment for me, as I was really looking forward to finally seeing him in a show).

Yankeefan, I think they totally could have kept the cast...imho, it would have been infinitely more interesting to have Lane/Broderick switch their roles (either permanently or do a PSH/JCR True West bit and switch every other show). As is though, it just seemed like a tired rehashing of The Producers.

Way to go, Mantello.

What does Broderick have 2 Tonys for?

I completely agree that it would have been better to have the leads alternate roles. It may not have saved this surprisingly uninspired production, but it would have given it at least one interesting slant.

When the project was first announced, the first thing anybody asked was, "Which one's playing Felix and which one's playing Oscar?"

They could still ask Julia to present. She is on Broadway and her show was nominated for some things. A few years ago, Edie Falco presented even though her work in Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune was snubbed that year. She even made a joke about it, something like, "It is so great to be presenting here at the Tony Awards, where it is an honor just to be nominated. *deadpan*" It was hilarious. If Christina Applegate weren't nominated last year, I'm sure they would still ask her to present anyway. So I think Julia might show up. We'll see.
