It\u2019s the mooost wonderful tiiiime of the year!\u00a0<\/em>It\u2019s Tony season! Well I guess it\u2019s\u00a0been <\/em>Tony season; now it\u2019s TONY WEEKEND! How pumped are you? How are you talking about anything else? The big Federer-Nadal match is over, no one is seeing\u00a0Dark Phoenix<\/em>, and the world is still going to shit so there is nothing more to do but sit back, relax, and let the joy of Tony Weekend wash all over you.<\/p>\n
Until Monday morning, when we piss and moan about all the injustice of amazing performers losing arbitrary awards to equally amazing performers and all of them getting to do the best job on the planet, so unfair.<\/p>\n
So what will I be pissing and moaning about in particular on Monday morning? A lot of things! Mainly, that here in the UK I can\u2019t watch it live, but also that a few of my favorite performances probably won\u2019t be rewarded; that Scott Rudin will add to his vast collection of trophies even though he\u2019s a big dumb bully; and that Tony voters should have to see all the nominees in order to\u00a0be<\/em>\u00a0Tony voters (you have one job; if you don\u2019t want it, give it to me plz).<\/p>\n
If Tony knows what\u2019s good for her (yes, Tony is a girl!), she\u2019ll do her level best to keep a few of those predicted complaints from happening, but most importantly she\u2019ll put on one hell of a show and, with James Corden\u2019s help, demonstrate to the Emmys, the Grammys, and the Oscars most years how to do awards shows right. Mostly, as long as Tony Toni Tone sticks to the whole underworld theme of the best shows this season (Hadestown<\/em>\u00a0is obvs about Hades and the underworld, and\u00a0The Ferryman<\/em> title refers to Hades\u2019s ferryman Charon who rows the newly dead souls across the river Styx and into the underworld. POSS CROSSOVER EVENT?), things will be good.<\/p>\n
