Thanks for providing the complete list of winners. Missed a couple of them during the broadcast when I was out of the room for a few minutes. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm looking for a salt shaker in order to eat these words of mine: "Oh, there won't be anything like the 'Book of Mormon' juggernaut from last year when it comes to the musical awards."

Thank goodness for DVR or I would have missed more than that (I didn't get home 'til well after the show started).

Yeah, "Once" was a monster - a surprise, since the original film was such a small success (though quite good).

Can we agree that NPH should be "host for life?"

Mel Larch said...

Agreed. He's charming, funny, keeps the show rolling at a good pace, & pulls off the musical numbers very well. I'm surprised he hasn't had a Broadway run yet, even if it was just a short one built around his schedule for "How I Met Your Mother."
While I don't think BOM was ever meant to be a "star vehicle", it'd be interesting to see "Elder NPH" at some point.
