Насчет Лива - я его , честно говоря не очень хорошо представляю на сцене, и опять же по работам в кино трудно сделать вывод. Если номинировали - значит действительно показал что-то выдающееся, чего никто от него не ожидал.

TWO MEN AND A STAGE

The formula in this case is, in most respects, almost exactly the same: Two men playing co-workers in conflict, a single set, no intermission. John Logan’s “Red,” about the painter Mark Rothko, had admiring reviews and snob appeal, and the superb character actor Alfred Molina (as Rothko) and the young star-inthe- making Eddie Redmayne, two of the season’s most widely praised performances. “A Steady Rain,” a good-cop, bad-cop soap opera, had tepid reviews. And Daniel Craig (as in Bond, James Bond). And Hugh Jackman (Mr. Wolverine, to you). Read ’em and weep.

A Steady Rain

тут можно сравнить с остальными постановками

Last fall, if “A Steady Rain” hadn’t had Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig, and “Race” hadn’t had James Spader, do you think those plays would have turned a profit like they did?

BRANTLEY No.

ISHERWOOD They wouldn’t have even been on Broadway. Though “A Steady Rain” probably wouldn’t have gotten such bad reviews if it had run with minor actors off Broadway.

BRANTLEY On Broadway you’ve got to start off with a brand name today. Clearly, audiences want something that they’ve seen before, or at least they know what they’re getting into, the way they would pick up a certain brand of ice cream or a piece of J. Crew clothing. And then, if they’re surprised by something, all the better. Which is not a climate conducive to experimentation.

Jude Law hotter than Daniel Craig?
07. May 2010

Jude Law has beaten Daniel Craig – getting a prestigious Tony Award nomination for Hamlet on Broadway while Daniel was left off the list.

The James Bond actor should have been nominated for A Steady Rain as his performance was widely acclaimed by fans.

But snobby American theatre types somehow missed him off the list and also omitted Hugh Jackman.

For the full list of nominees, click here.

To me, it’s a clear case of theatre people having a chip on their shoulder about being inferior to Hollywood and Jude Law doesn’t count because he’s not done many successful films in years.

I’m not normally nasty to people, but Jude Law was rude to me once so I feel justified. Come on, is this man hot?

Or is this one better?

My money’s on Bond….yum! And I am speaking from experience (see below)

какие вечные лосты? пАзвольте вступиться!

пара статей от разочарованных пролетом Дождя придала мне оптимизма

No Daniel, No Hugh
Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman were left off the Tony Award nomination list for their work in A Steady Rain. But Jude Law was called. The New York Times hated his performance but his name was still called.

I get more and more the impression, that they REALLY were afraid to nominate Daniel and leave out Hugh and therefore went with Jude. Hugh is so much a B´way darling and not nominating him but his twin brother might have felt to some like a slap in the face. I am sure, he wouldn´t have minded at all, though, but felt happy for Daniel.

I also feel, that pointing him out in the papers as being snubbed is a bit like a making up for it, because he never was as critically liked in this as was Daniel.

Whether or not he was great and really up to it in the end doesn´t matter IMO, because this play runs 3 months and not just 3 weeks or so

Box office clout no guarantee of Tony love this year

Looks like this year's Tony nominating committee wanted to disprove two long-held beliefs:

A) That the Tonys routinely nominate undeserving shows because their commercial appeal is too vast to ignore them;

That the Tonys often neglect worthy productions that closed earlier in the season in favor of still-running shows that can benefit from the nominations and exposure on the Tony broadcast.

Another instance of big box office not being enough to turn Tony's head was Keith Huff's cops-in-conflict drama A Steady Rain, which played a sold-out run earlier in the season. Neither the play, nor the two stars who made it such a hot ticket, Daniel Craig and Hugh Jackman, received nominations.

Ah, but other already-shuttered productions, more than usual, drew major nominations -- and most of these were not box office bonanzas like Jackman and Craig's vehicle.

черт оффтоп, не убивайте

относительно АСР смешно, когда в статьях пишут, что типане дали ни Хью ни Дэну, чтоб никто не обиделся. Они - близнецы братья, какая зависть куку))

Две моих знакомых девушки были на мероприятии. Эллен написала, что во время ланча Хью практически не был в зале, а сразу ушел за кулисы, и они даже не смогли с ним перекинуться парой фраз. Зато получилось с другими актерами, но я о них писать не буду, т.к. это бродвейские штучки нам не очень интересно наверно)) Хью получил награду за Дэниела (как новичок Бродвея) и произнес шутливую речь относительно того, что Дэн очень любит всякие бесплатные подарочки, которые ему всегда давали за его "baby blues" (за красивые глаза ггг)
*ну что же.... ASR стал чемпионом по сборам в сезоне, чемпионом в Джипси и одну награду за бродвейский дебют получил Дэн. не жирно..ну ладно... будет Гудини или что-то ещё и Хью взорвет их танцпол там. Обещаем*

Eating Chicken At The Drama League Awards

Eating chicken.

That’s what most everyone seated at the massive dais could talk about when greeting the guests at the 76th Annual Drama League luncheon (May 21). Alfred Molina thought it was “great.” Sean Hayes thought it was “the best of the 12 other chicken dinners I’ve had today” and Tony Shalhoub didn’t eat it. “I’m allergic.”

Of course, there were some wonderful things being said about things other than the chicken. Most prominently, something almost every actor up there mentioned: the importance of the cast as a whole. As Viola Davis put it: “You’re only as good as your ensemble.” (Which begs the question we here at Playbill have been asking for a long time: Why there still isn’t a Best Ensemble Tony Award?) But, that’s for another time.

Hosts Vanessa Williams and Michael Urie kicked off the ceremony with their own rendition of Gypsy’s “Together, Wherever We Go,” with Urie begging to keep going wherever Williams is going, because, as he put it, his show, The Temperamentals is closing (May 30, by the way…see it, it’s great! Free plug!).

Montego Glover did a plug of her own. “Many people ask me how I manage to get through a show as vocally demanding as Memphis every night. The answer is: alcohol. I love it,” she joked.

The best speech award goes to the inimitable Nathan Lane, who was given the Distinguished Achievement in Musical Theatre Award. To the members of the Drama League, Lane said, “It’s a good thing you decided to honor me before the reviews for The Addams Family came out, otherwise, this award would probably be going to Bernadette Peters.” And about those reviews? Lane laughed, “Good thing most of America doesn’t read.” He ended his speech with some words of wisdom to his colleagues. “Good luck at the Tonys. Or as we call it in my house: Passover.”

David Alan Grier, while nominated for his acting in David Mamet’s Race, decided to sing his speech. “It’s Tony time, there are a lot of voters here, and I just wanted to take this moment to say,” before breaking into song. “I’m the greatest actor in the woooooooooooorld!” To which, Jan Maxwell replied: “I wanted to use my time to thank David Alan Grier for lending his wonderful voice to my song.”

Hugh Jackman was there representing both him and his A Steady Rain co-star, Daniel Craig. “They left it up to me to tell him [about today],” Jackman said. “He just shows up in his free Dunhill suits and his baby blues, and I thought, ‘He’s had enough’ so I’m going to take his free gift bag home with me,” he joked.

Scarlett Johansson had some sensory recall moments while riding the big, glass elevators at the Marriott Marquis. “I remember when I was eight or nine, riding those glass elevators after an audition. And then I’d go to Howard Johnson’s for some French onion soup.”

Distinguished Director winner, Kenny Leon, did a brilliant job summing up why everyone was there. “Film is art. Theatre is life. And TV is furniture!”

Alfred Molina had the last spot of the day, taking home the award for Distinguished Performance for his role in Red. “My wife told me not to go ‘English’ if I won this. She said ‘You’re in America. Take your time and enjoy it.’”

And with a little fist pump, he whispered, “Yes!”

Drama League Awards, Хью с 5.00 и далее
Хью говорит о том, что когда ему предложили этот проект, Дэн уже подписался под него, и Хью думал, что Дэн сыграет Дэнни. Я не знала об этом. А ещё моя подружка рассказала, что когда она разговаривала с Китом Хафом и Барбарой Брокколи, то те оба заявили, что эта пьеса на самом деле о Джоуи )) Любопытно.
