Another "Viva" commercial - thank goodness, I had almost forgotten about it!
It's 10:40pm as we return - hey, I see light at the end of the tunnel!
As we return: Jane Alexander honors the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta - the group received its award earlier. Hey, here's Fantasia to honor the award to the Alliance by singing. She's terrific, of course, as an "American Idol" winner should be. Her voice seems a bit distorted, though - her voice is probably too strong for the mic. Again, the perils of live performance.
Next: Bernadette Peters (who has apparently not aged in two decades) and Harvey Fierstein. The award: Best Performance by a leading actor in a musical - this is the one Michael Cerveris is nominated for. The winner: David Hyde Pierce for "Curtains." (Sorry, Michael.) He honors his fellow nominees, and seems genuinely shocked to win. Great speech.
Next up: Ben Vereen and Usher. The award: Best Performance by a leading actress in a musical. This is the one Kentucky's Laura Bell Bundy is nominated for. The winner: Christine Ebersole for "Grey Gardens." (Sorry, Laura.)
Seven minutes left, they'd better kick it in gear. Commerical break.
