The Tonys are behind us - a good broadcast, what I saw of it (although for the second year in a row they had microphone problems, which is shocking for a production like this).
On the local front, we have a new champion - congratulations to my pal Mel Larch for picking the most winners in a difficult season! She had 12 out of 26 correct, and earns the 2010 crown!
It was a race for last place between my pal Zach and me, but I edged him out - for last place, I mean. Zach got nine right, and I managed a paltry eight correct answers. Congrats on your second place finish, Zach!

I will wear my crown proudly as proof that even a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut! I think we all got surprised in the main performance categories.
Oh, if only my Best Musical pick would've come to pass, a three hour awards show went so fast, wake me up when the Tonys end! :)

Congrats again to Mel for winning and to Zach for taking second place (and reminding me to get the durn contest rolling in the first place).
As always, it was just fun taking part! Losing, however, was no fun at all. ;-)
