| Oh, if you put it all in perspective, the Tonys aren't any worse than the Oscars. In its 73-year history, Bosley ('60), Grimes ('61), Daniels ('69), and Rose ('76) are the 4 most unbelievably outrageous manipulations that come to mind. Of course, I'm sure there were others, although probably not as obvious. I've heard it theorized that Bosley and Grimes (both relative unknowns) were deemed "featured" to allow both them and, of course, Gleason and Seal to all win Tonys. I'm sure that made Merrick happy. Theoretically if Daniels had been willing to play the game, both he and Orbach would have collected well deserved Tonys. Regardless, Merrick again triumphed. The Rose situation is a bit more puzzling. However, it did allow both he and Sammy Williams to get Tonys, which, nevertheless, were well earned. I've also heard that Bennett did a lot of campaigning to make that and the McKechnie and Bishop wins happen. |
