I thought sure that Kristin Scott Thomas was a shoo-in to WIN for 'The Seagull' and she wasn't even nominated. And how did Susan Sarandon get overlooked? I know she is governed by the work and not the accolades, but she is brilliant in 'Exit the King.' I thought Peter Sarsgaard also should have been nominated in 'The Seagull.'<br /><br />I hope Mr Esparza finally wins the Tony. Just having to endure Jeremy Piven on the same stage is enough reason to give it to him. He was robbed for 'Company' and 'Taboo' both, and is the most versatile performer in theatre right now. He really deserves to be a star.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-58996079776857640212009-05-06T18:35:00.000-04:002009-05-06T18:35:00.000-04:00If Angela Lansbury wins, she will tie Julie Harris...If Angela Lansbury wins, she will tie Julie Harris' record of five tony wins.

The reference I remember (and it was a vague memory in the first place) talked about the Grand Slam as a recognition for the versatility of a performer, so the specific reason for including the Grammy was to acknowledge a performer's singing talent, as opposed to acting talent.
