Carrie Fisher's performance in Wishful Drinking was fantastic...no matter what the Tony's think.
What a crock of hooey these Tony Awards are, or shall we say, The Antoinette Perry Who-Gives-A-Damn-About The Antoinette Perry Awards for Excellence in Theatre. The title of that award is pretentious enough to choke a horse. They should rename it the Sarah Siddons Award, like the one Eve Harrington won in All About Eve. Literally, if it wasn’t for Doogie Howser, would anyone watch that friggen awards show on CBS, sponsored by Geritol. Let me start by saying that every time I go to a Broadway show, I am overwhelmed as to how many bad hairdos can be clumped into one room. It is as though car coats and frizzy hair are forever in vogue to the theater going audience. That and and an fifty pounds. Granted, I am not the most avid theater goer, and I thoroughly respect the craft to the nth power, but this particular awards show season is so annoying, I can’t even begin. Naturally, I am furious at the ridiculous oversight by the Tony voters to have not included Carrie Fisher in the Best Actress category for here amazingly funny and poignant turn in Wishful Drinking. Not for nothing, The New York Times raved about Miss Fisher’s performance and who gives a damn what Roma Torre from NY-1 says. She has a stick so far up her…well…forget it…I am clearly not objective here. Anyhoo, I share the sentiments of Carrie Fisher when I say what this image implies.
