And the Tony goes to...HELEN MIRREN. That is it.

And I can't wait to see her! I am a huge Helen Mirren fan (it's one thing my mom and I agree on-she's able to reach across the generational gap very nicely.)

Caught The Audience in London and realized this is why I love theatre so much. Mirren and the play were terrific. She will lay claim to the Tony for sure.

A little Helen Mirren story...

Helen Mirren was in "Mourning becomes Electra" at the British National Theatre with Eve Best, amazingly it was 11 years ago.

At the performance I saw during a very heated scene between the two of them the lights suddenly went out on stage by mistake, they stopped the scene and they came back up a minute later. Mirren was so composed simply giving "and now" and they both flew back into the heat of the argument. I thought it was such a professional moment so well handled by both actresses.

Can't wait to see "The Audience" here.

Jim-I might be the only one more excited than you. She's one of my very favorite actresses. I think she's also just a cool person (to put it in the vernacular). I love how she doesn't seem to take herself too seriously and yet when she is acting she's fully invested.

No EGOT for Helen yet, if she manages a Tony for "The Audience" She still needs a Grammy... but look up what awards she's won and it's ridiculous. Just about every one out there for Television and Film. And why not?

She can do a book on tape to get the Grammy. I think she's a frontrunner for the Tony.
