Academy Awards are being presented on February 28th in picturesque and dysfunctional Hollywood or somewhere in the general vicinity. I will not watch. I never do, but I will let curiosity get the best of me and scan the results in the paper the next day.
I happen to be a fan of the Tony Awards, which I never miss. I love the theater or as the snobbish say “The legitimate theater” – a term which goes back to 17th century England. I especially enjoy the musical theater and have ever since by mother dragged me to see “Damn Yankees” with Gwen Verdon and Ray Walston and the magnificent choreography of Bob Fosse.
