The time is now my friends and it’s truly Broadway’s Biggest Night as the 75th Annual Tony Awards winners were recently given their trophies for excellence in theatre. I don’t think I have to state the obvious but this pandemic was a hard hit to the world of Broadway shows. Live theatre was put on hold back in March of 2020 and wouldn’t return until September of 2021 which is about 18 months dark. Let’s remember that this is more than the shows and the actors playing all the roles. It’s the musicians, its the stagehards and the assorted front of house staff and all those behind the scenes. The pandemic created COVID safety teams which I even participated in once the re-opening happened and when that return was in play, it was a wonderful thing to behold. So I casually watched the broadcast to catch the announcements and will be watching in full tomorrow since its a slower day for me. The main host of the show was Ariana DeBose and here now are your winners for the 75th Annual Tony Awards.

Hello again my friends, we have arrived at the day when the winners of the 2020 Golden Globe Awards are announced and I am getting this information to you as fast as humanly possible. I actually was editing the list while the program aired. It was hosted by Ricky Gervaise and while I was interested in watching the whole thing in full, I had too much else on the plate to simply focus on more than updating the assorted categories with the winner names. As you will see down below, I’ve also left the nominees for each of the category so you will have a talking point if your favorite was overlooked. It’s a long list but some of these are and that’s fine with me. It keeps you on the website a little longer which we always enjoy. So without further adieu……presenting your winners of the Golden Globe Awards.
