Tony Predictions - And winners!

If you care about not knowing who won the Tony awards last night...well then you'd better come back and read this post later.  That's your warning.

Kari and I made Tony predictions right before they started last night but as I wasn't around my computer at that time, I'll post them now along with who actually won!  We got a lot wrong (mostly when it had to do with Nice Work If You Can Get It, but I think we made some pretty good guesses!  Our guesses are highlighted in blue with winners notated in bold.

We had a total of 13 correct guesses (Kari had 15 because I really just wanted Newsies to sweep the board and she was smarter and realized that Once would win a lot of awards).

I think Once pretty much swept the board with 11 nominations and 8 Tonys as far as musicals go and then as far as plays go Peter and the Starcatcher had 9 nominations and 5 Tonys.

I'll do another post later with some of my favorite moments :)
