I would be happy with the same scenario or CONTACT. The artists should all be eligible in their categories, elementarily... but Swan a wasn't a musical and neither is Contact. Can't imagine how or why they'd be categorized differently.
I remember that Tonys and how that made much more sense than in 2000 with the Contact ruling. Which is fascinating since Swan Lake was also a buzzed-about and praised "musical" event, and it was widely considered a weak year for new musicals (Fosse won, beating The Civil War, It Ain't Nothin' But the Blues, and sadly Parade). Swan Lake even nabbed a Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical nomination for Adam Cooper as The Swan.
Why was that the ruling 2 years prior with ThE SAME SITUATION but not for Contact? Because Swan Lake was an existing ballet and Contact was new? Bourne made it new is a similar way. But it's either a musical or not... either a ballet counts as a musical or it doesn't. |
