''Btw, the 1970s was a period of great contentiousness in the Tonys.''

Boy, you aren't kidding. I just Googled and found this 1977 N.Y. Times article about various Tony disputes from that era.

It covers Rita Moreno, ''Side by Side by Sondheim,'' Donna McKechnie, plus notable Tony omissions and oversights.

It was really fascinating to read about the jockeying and jostling over Lenny Baker (''I Love My Wife'').
