I am just SHOCKED beyond belief at Daniel Radcliffe being snubbed. I think it’s because the committee didn’t want to pick only ONE of the leads from BOOK OF MORMON? I don’t know. But Dan was stupendous. They should have just given him two Tony awards, one for each hand.
I’m thrilled that Athol Fugard is getting the life-time achievement award!! He has dedicated his life to creating plays with awareness of political struggles and uses his plays as a vehicle for social change! Well deserved!!!
