THE AWARDS CEREMONY begins at 8:00 p.m. ET on CBS.

Frank is absolutely brutal on the Red Carpet. Is there an understudy who can take over?

[Danielle49]

Lots of Tony threads going around, so I'll ask this question here:

I am overseas and unfortunately won't be able to watch the broadcast tonight. I've looked at the Tony Awards International Viewing page and the country I'm in isn't there, plus the 9 hour time difference won't allow me to watch via a US site at a reasonable time. Anyone have tips as to how to watch the show sometime this week? Is the full show typically posted somewhere (CBS or otherwise) following the broadcast, and if so, where? Any tips would be appreciated!

Is there a way to see the pre show?

[Elegance101]

Multiple ways; I'm watching on the Tony Awards Facebook page.

Is there any way to shut down that screeching annoying woman from BWW?

The mute button works.

[HenryTDobson]

All of these red carpet interviews are PAINFUL.

I would be shocked if frozen doesnt win best musical... hands down best show of the year

[Someone in a Tree2]

Where can we view the preshow awards-- I thought that's what the CBS feed would give us, but no-- just more inept interviews.

Shows were garbage this season... anyone that liked bands visit must have an extremely boring life... it has the “ cool” factor of pretending you liked it so you can fit in with the critics... hands down going in and walking out , frozen was best bang for your buck... as for spongebob , i cant take a nickelodeon show seriously... what’s next beavis and butthead?

Maybe I can't take a Disney show that was clearly put on Broadway to make Disney more money and not to creatively achieve anything new seriously...

[ScottyDoesn'tKnow2]

Surely, everyone can see the irony in someone shilling for a Disney product while claiming that they cannot take a Nickelodeon one seriously.

Gee, all this time I thought I adored The Band’s Visit because it uses beautiful music and exquisite performances to tell stories about the need for human connection - and about the power of music to bring together people of different cultures and languages. But apparently I only liked it because I’m boring and want to be cool! *shrugs*

[dramamama611]

But now I fit in with the critics!  Mission accomplished.

[Broadwaystar26]

There’s a reason its on tkts line every night for 50% off... garbage

[adamgreer]

Have they not handed out any of the technical awards yet? I keep refreshing and nothing. It’s 7:30 already!

Walt Disney himself is leaving hate comments for one of his competitors on a Broadway message board.

Whatever watch and see... it’s gonna win best musical
