My Favorite Moments of the Tony Awards '08

I'm kinda late in posting, but what the hey! I got tied up and didn't bother to finish. But, here it is, anywaa... It's nice to be brought back, eh?

Deanna Dunagan winning Best Actress for AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY. I really wish that there had been a tie, though. I think BOTH Deanna and Amy Morton should have won the award.

Rondi Reed winning for Best Featured Actress for AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY. And her praise for: Amy Morton! Amy Morton! Amy Morton! &c...

Patti LuPone's speech for winning Best Actress in a Musical for GYPSY.

Laura Benanti's speech for winning Best Featured Actress in a Musical for GYPSY.

Lily Tomlin's hommage walk to Marisa Tomei.

Lin-Manuel Miranda's speech for winning Best Original Score for IN THE HEIGHTS.

Anna D. Shapiro winning Best Director of AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY.

Tracy Letts winning for Best Play for AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY.

The irreverant speech of Mark Rylance, winning for BOEING-BOEING.

And...Whoopi Goldberg as the Host. She was dynamite!
