I was more bothered by the fact that Hurwitz opted not to thank people when he accepted the award for Original Score but then started rattling off names after winning for Original Song while Pasek and Paul were still making their way to the stage, thereby cutting into Pasek and Paul's time to speak.

Fastest win to EGOT LMM or Pasek/Paul#27

They have written a song for Supergirl but no one has heard it yet or knows what its competition will be, so to say they have a good chance of winning an Emmy for it is a little premature.

As it stands:

LMM: Emmy winner, 2x Grammy winner, 3x Tony winner, Oscar nomination (no win).

Pasek and Paul: Oscar winners. Previous Tony nominations, and very likely to be nominees/winners this year. Grammy nomination also likely for DEH cast recording. No Emmy nomination to date.

It's anybody's guess.

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

I'll say this again, getting a daytime Emmy is pretty easy. They could do musical work for any number kid's shows.

Ahhh, ok. Thanks, everyone.

What seems closer to reality is Viola. Let's get her a nice book of poetry to do an audiobook for or something.

It would be a true shame if P&P did not win the Tony this year. Their score is beautiful and heart wrenching. While Comet is indeed inventive and interesting -- that doesn't mean it's good. Most of the lyrics come straight from the book, and while that's cool, that's again not the same as being worthy of awards. And while some of the music is lovely (like No One Else), the good parts are few and far between. Comet will probably win a lot because it's such an interesting spectacle but that spectacle I feel is distracting people from its being not actually very good.

Their Oscar win this year was ridiculous. That song couldn't be more bland.

I loved Dear Evan Hansen just like any other theater nerd, but Great Comet's music is really really good. I'd be equally happy with either of those shows taking home the best music/lyrics award. I don't think we need to bring other good shows down to justify our love for a particular good show.

Love P&P's music, loved DEH, enjoyed La La Land and wanted to root for Hurwitz who is a "local boy". Had never heard the song from Moana until last night and think Lin was truly robbed. The man in general is a genius and while I'm not saying it's anything close to Lin's musical theater work, that song was significantly better than "City of Stars". I had a feeling Lin wouldn't win but was bummed out nonetheless, especially with the PEGOT riding on it.

I don't think they have one yet, but they will be eligible to be nominated in September for their upcoming contributions to the FLASH/SUPERGIRL musical episodes. (Final cut pending, of course.)

So it's completely 100% possible that they could win their EGOT all within the span of 12 months. The Emmy will be probably be the trickiest since CW shows are not necessarily known for being Emmy bait.

I'm also pulling for Great Comet for Best Score, though I'm a Pasek & Paul fan in general. I think they deserved an Emmy for their work on Smash. And I have little doubt that they (as well as LMM) will be EGOTs before too long.

They received a Daytime Emmy nomination in 2015 for their song "Unlimited" in the category of Outstanding Special Class--Short Format Daytime Program, for a 2014 Old Navy back-to-school campaign.

I truly think they won't win an Emmy against Crazy Ex Girlfriend's "We Suffered" but who knows.

I don't think either party deserved the Oscar. Drive it Like You Stole It was completely and utterly robbed.
