At the opening of Sunday night’s 2016 Tony Awards, host James Corden expressed solidarity with the victims of this weekend’s deadly shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando and their families, saying, “You are not alone.”
This is from last night Tony Awards, during which Bryan Cranston won the award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Play. Chris O'Dowd was also nominated in that category and lost so well that he ended up winning anyway. This is how you do it.
In a very, er, interesting take on hip hop history, Tony Awards host and human-wolverine hybrid Hugh Jackman credited The Music Man songwriter Meredith Willson with creating "one of the very first rap songs ever," and then brought out T.I. and L.L. Cool J in an attempt to prove it.
I don't know all that much about musical theater, but that was pretty fun. Anyone out there watching the Tonys tonight?

Today Broadway's supposed best was bestowed with Tony nominations, making this the most important morning of the year for everyone, everywhere. Who made out like a bandit? Who flopped bigger than Carrie? Let's take a look!
"Broadway Bret Michaels" broke his silence tonight regarding his near-decapitation at the Tony Awards. He's feeling fine now, though he thought he'd lose his teeth, and he's upset he missed the afterparties. He also released photos of his beat-up face!
So you watched the Tony Awards last night, right? Prince did as well! And he really loved Karen Olivo from West Side Story, so much that he bought 20 tickets to her show so he can watch it all alone!
