The Tonys are one thing that group doesn't have a stick up his ass this group does. Still pissed that Lego Movie didn't get nominated. A good comedian would likely get a cold reception as well.

Mumbles February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 This thing with the guy from Selma is borderline offensive. Oprah was giving NPH the death stare. This show lacks Hollywood royalty. Sadly it's been like that for years. When I was a kid, the presenters were A list people. Now Dakota Johnson is doing presentations (no dig against her, but she's not A list yet). And if they wasted Shirley McClaine mid-show and use some boring TV person or meh movie actor to give out a major award, that would be annoying. If IMDB is right, Maureen O'Hara will be 95 this year.
