How funny is it that the Cabaret performance is straight up at 9pm. So Alan Cumming is the Emcee instead of Eli Gold on The Good Wife. Hell of a difference between them haha

YAY for the best score!!! (I had no idea that was awarded during a commercial break. Seriously?!)

ps- so glad James Monroe Iglehart won... I loved his performance!! But honestly loved Danny Burnstein's too... and they are so different... I would have been happy with either!

Very disappointing that Best Score is not presented live on the awards.

Unfortunately it seems they only air Best Score now if there's a celebrate nominated.

I'd say Kenny Leon is an upset. Pundits were expecting Tim Carroll or John Tiffany to win.

Idina was way better than at the Oscars. Not pre-recorded.

P.S. I hear AHLiebross eats pea sauce and keeps sea horse.

I love the way they're staging the musical numbers. All of them. And I loved the opening number. Not easy to do nothing but hopping for that long. Wow!

I am disappointed if Idina really lip synced.

Weird about not presenting some of these awards on the broadcast. Doubt that Idina lip-synced. That was one person.

@ Jane2- i Can say whatever i want- just like you can- get over yourself.
- I have nothing against age, but being that awkward on stage is not cool at any age.

I think Iglehart was out of breath because he was very nervous and also because the Radio City stage is extremely wide so he had to do a lot of running. Although I'm not his biggest fan, the number is much better in the show.

I guess Roundabout wanted to prove that the nominators made the right decision in feeling that Cabaret was just a recycling and left it out of Best Revival. They even recycled their Tony number.

Yay Sophie! We should've seen this coming with Audra winning the same award ten years ago.
