This was a wild Tony Awards. I had mixed emotions on all the performances, but so many well earned wins (and some surprising wins). I don't think I've ever been this invested while watching a ceremony before.
ABC= Nominee that I predicted would win
ABC= Nominee that won
If a category has only a name in pink that means that the nominee I predicted would win did win.
