Have you seen the Tony Nominations? Can you even believe how INSULTING they are??? It’s supposed to be the most prestigious award for American Theater, and THIS is what they come up with???
Sure, it’s bad that the Tony Nominations consistently favored Hollywood, big-selling, money producing names and shows over their more talented New York counterparts….
Sure, it’s bad that out of the nominees for Best Musical, the only one that is completely original is Next to Normal, and it might not beat out its competition in the form of a farting ogre.
Sure, it’s bad that [title of show] got snubbed.
Sure, it’s bad that Carla Gugino’s overall excellent, wrenching performance in Desire Under The Elms went ignored.
But that’s not really the issue.
The ISSUE, the category in which the Tony Committee REALLY f’d up, the oversight SO unforgivable I cannot even bear to post it on this blog’s main page, is….
DANIEL RADCLIFFE WAS ROBBED. ROBBED!
There, there, Dan. I know it hurts. It hurts me, too.
