"Broadway is dark tonight." ~the goo goo dolls

Fun fact: Tony night is the only night of the year all of Broadway is dark.

Scroll down for my actual newest post. This is a Tony post. I thought I'd share my predictions. I made these awhile ago, before the New York Times released their own predictions. There are some VERY tight races tonight, so I'm not expecting to do well.
I'll try to update these as we go.

ETA: Okay, I should have seen this coming once I knew the Glee stars were performing and Green Day was performing two songs (I won't even go into that), but I hate the fact that Hollywood is invading the Tonys. If all the Hollywood winners were deserving of their awards, fine, but I don't believe they all are. Catherine Zeta Jones was not even close to being the best actress of the season. She wasn't bad, but she was definitely not the best. I saw all the actresses in that category and I'd actually put CJZ as the least deserving. And it pisses me off. I AM happy for ScarJo and feel that she is deserving, but I'm just upset in general with this trend.

I'm 21/26. Ugh.
