I don't think there's ANY question that "if her husband hadn't been the director/writer and maker of the film it was adapted from, she wouldn't have been so motivated to slap back at the Tonys..." (I don't think there's also any question that she ever would have done the show if not for her husband.)
Yes, it would have been wonderful for her to have won a competitive Tony. Yes, it would have been wonderful for William Daniels to have won for 1776. But people do have the right to stand up for what they believe is right even if it costs them a Tony.
Yes, too, Camelot should have been nominated. I don't agree, however, that Do Re Mi was "forgettable."
And it wasn't simply Irma La Douce "which beat Julie for her acting award." It was a person, namely Elizabeth Seal in one of the most acclaimed triple threat performances in Broadway history. |
