I actually think Best Book is an interesting category. I loved Grey Gardens and was amazed at the first act. Everything in it came from little off hand comments in the documentary. It's a creation of Doug Wright, but is a very plausible creation based on the Doc. While the second act is more entertaining, it is straight from the documentary, in many cases word for word.

From what I've heard the book for Spring Awakening is almost straight from the play and of course Curtains is totally created by Rupert based on Peter Stones original concept.

So, I think the race will be between Grey Gardens and Curtains. Of course I'm cheering for Curtains, but I would be happy if either of these two won

I just got through going through my "Education in a box" bag. I have a box for elementary/Jr High/ and High School and College. I anaged to find quite a few photos of our friend who died a week ago yesterday. I am going to try to see if I can improve them in photoshop and then print them out for his family, and for my brother, who is having a terrible time dealing with this, mainly because he lives alone in the mountains and diesn't have much to take his mind off of it.

I hope he will go with me on Father's Day to visit my dad. It might be a nice break for him.

Thank you Dakotacelt. I had not seen that. I had heard that Rang De Basanti was as very good picture and I keep meaning to get it.

If you want to see the Red Carpet it will be on Tonyawards.com. They are webcasting the red carpet and the "Creative Tonys" live and then will then update the award winners as the CBS broadcast progresses. So if you're on the west coast and want to see the red carpet and creative Tonys you have to tune in on the web at 6:30 Eastern time...is that 3:30 Pacific?

From www.tonyawards.com

On Tony night, the fun begins even before the audience members take their seats at Radio City Music Hall®. Broadway and Hollywood celebrities arrive early to meet the press—and show off their outfits. We’ll be webcasting their arrivals live from the sidewalk of West 50th Street, in partnership with NY1 News, beginning at 6:30 p.m. ET on June 10. Check back soon for more information.

The fact that the Tonys are telecast in the summer "off-season" is a help since the ratings expectations are much lower than during the regular season. And the ceremony carries quite a bit of prestige with it as usually the classiest of the award shows with the best performance talent.

So, unless the ratings hit rock bottom tonight, I doubt seriously CBS will drop their option to show it.

Matt H. · « **Reply #167 on:** June 10, 2007, 01:28:07 PM »

I had myself a CLOSER marathon afternoon.

First, I watched the last episode in the set, the two-part special shown last December. I had forgotten a good deal about it, so it was simply grand seeing Brenda regain her job and squad after they were unfairly taken away from her.

Matt H. · « **Reply #168 on:** June 10, 2007, 01:29:24 PM »

As soon as that two-part episode was over, I jumped right back to the start of season two so I could rewatch every single episode again. The comedy elements of the show, especially those first few episodes when Brenda was trying to stay off processed sugar products, were simply hilarious.

Matt H. · « **Reply #169 on:** June 10, 2007, 01:30:33 PM »

And I'm looking at the ensemble acting among the squad, and the more I see it, the more I'm impressed about how fantastically this group of actors functions as one.

And just another week before I get to see Brenda Leigh in NEW adventures, and in high definition yet! Hooray!

OK...riddle me this:

SACCO AND VANETTI is going to be released on DVD in August.

Amazon already has it listed, and has paired it with another movie. Can you guess which one? The answer may surprise you.

Hint: Think "well-known Broadway play"...

Sunday afternoon greetings! DH Richard, DS Rob, and I have had a busy Sunday in Cincinnati. Rob and I dropped Richard off at church for a class and went to UC to do a moving-out errand for Rob. After coffee at Starbuck's we went back to church for 11:30 mass, then on a shopping trip during which Rob bought a pair of shoes, a shirt, and some speakers for his iPod. I bought 2 pairs of shoes, some cosmetics, and a birthday present for my DN Laura (who was with me in NYC for DR PennyO's show 2 years ago).

Now we're home and I have the MacBook all charged up so I can be online for the Tony bash and watch TV in the family room.

Felix is Nicola...Rosina kicks him out and he has to move in with his single buddy, Bart, at the boarding house. Nick is a neat freak and has a steady job; Bart is a freelance sportsmonger. After having their Friday night poker party busted up by the police, Nick and Bart wind up in the hoosegow. They are forced to share a jail cell where Bart's slovenly habits drive Nick nuts and he is temporarily committed to a hospital for the criminally insane.

Gotta fix the ending, though...it's a real downer.

Neil Simon, look out!

And the word of the day is: HYPOCORISM!

That CRISPY HOMO named Quentin, known for being CHOOSY, PRIM and snarky, thought that his HYPOCORISM should be "civil servant." His friends, preferring to cut to the chase, simply called him Dorothy.
