Gee, all that was missing was the dun-dun-DAH! after Leo's "...for the criminally insane". True, although I don't see why any of those reasons would preclude it from being recognized in the acting categories. Emily Mortimer, especially seems to be a pretty good candidate in support just b...

And while I'm being grumpy, what's with the changing of the pronunciation of "Godot" from "Ga-doe" to "God-oh"? According to director Anthony Lane from a NY Times interview : GOD-dough is what Samuel Beckett said. Also, the word has to echo Pozzo. That’s the right pron...

How on earth did the winning song garner so many votes? Granted the competition was lackluster but for that ditty to win by such a landslide was ridiculous. By the way - and unusually so, for such a gay-oriented event - not many attractive men on the stage this year They were probably outside, gett...

The Aviator from this disappointing bunch.

I think Rush will still take it; if there's one thing you can't miss with his acting (especially on stage), it's THE ACTING.
