After seeing that last number I just had terrible flashbacks to that big old flop I saw last night--Holler If Ya Hear Me.

^ This. PRECISELY. If they came up with the bucks, they'd perform.

Wait....I thought Bullets WAS performing....Zach Braff mentioned it on the red carpet.

I thought the rap was pretty funny.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

A bunch of boring purists here! I'm not generally a fan of rap, but that bit was inspired, IMO.
Salve, Regina, Mater misericordiae
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
O clemens O pia

Does this mean no in memoriam segment tonight? Time is running short with three awards still to present. That's disappointing.
Scratch and claw for every day you're worth! Make them drag you screaming from life, keep dreaming You'll live forever here on earth.

I just turned off the broadcast. Rap singers? And, I'm sorry, but NPH got the "Thank you for keeping our ratings up all these years, Neal" Tony award. I feel like the theater part of the Tonys is totally eclipsed by the Hollywood/popular music/ TV stars contingent. I know, I know, it is a TV show but it is supposed to be a live theater celebration. Hoped against hope that Bryce Pinkham might have won - extraordinary performer.

End of rant.

Good night.

Why is Beautiful showing actors other than Jessie Mueller? Makes no sense.

"It's now rather very common to hear people say 'I'm rather offended by that'. As if that gives them certain rights. It's actually nothing more than a whine. It has no meaning, no purpose. It has no reason to be respected as a phrase. 'I am offended by that'. Well, so f**king what?"--Stephen Fry

Bullets may be a casualty of time restrictions.

Omg. Carole King's endorsement of Beautiful is ridiculously good for the show.

I wish that was the actual cut of "WIll You Love Me Tomorrow" and other songs in Beautiful.

He's worn wigs for years. The man is bald.

The camerawork on this telecast is HORRIBLE this year.
Everyone is aware that "Sutton Ross" used to go by "Sue Storm". Right?

So Jennifer Hudson is performing tonight? Now wait, but Jennifer Hudson is a Broadway star. Oh wait, scratch that. But she's performed on Broadway, nope wait, again. OK well she's had a string of hit movies. Nope, again, hold off on that.

Yeah, people know who she is and can sing. I guess that's why?
