As a Groundhog Day fan, I've resigned myself to losing tonight. 

So this here, is a place to vent your frustrations about any of the losing people/shows. 

We don't need to hear why they didn't win, let us wallow in our misery. Keep the main thread for the positive crap.  (As if.)

Release the snark, no winners allowed.

Happy for Gavin....but was rooting for  Lucas Steele.  Waaaah.

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.

Anastasia was robbed for costumes

Tonys, Oliviers, Oscars  are all bonuses 

It's the moment being on stage , the magic of the stage that counts

Honestly, if I was a Tony voter, I would've voted for Gavin... but Lucas Steele is an unbelievable Anatole. Oh, well.

I was so happy I cried about Groundhog Day's nomination though!!

 

Still really puzzled why it did not do a 'full' season in London

Would've preferred Lucas Steele, but I'm so happy for Gavin Creel! He's wonderful and was totally snubbed last year for "She Loves Me".

Dear Evan Hansen has a good score, but in Comet you find a work of art.

It's not that I don't like Dear Hansen, it's just that I don't think it's score was the best part.

I LOVE love love DEH and didn't particularly enjoy Comet, but Malloy was robbed for Orchestrations.

Anyone else think Dear Evan Hansen is pulling a La La Land and winning awards just based on the name? Devastated for Malloy. I understand Great Comet is not everyone's cup of tea but you have to admit it's pretty ground-breaking work.
