Spring Awakening won for Best Choreography. I didn't make any predictions for this category because I hadn't seen enough of the nominated shows to make a judgement. But I'm happy because Spring Awakening is awesome.

Spring Awakening won for Best Director as well. So far, they're running the table. I can't say I'm not happy.

Spring Awakeening is AWESOME. Choreography? Yeah, didn't think it deserved that. Best musical? Oh yeah, ROCK ON!

I definitely deserved Best Musical. Not sure about Choreography. I haven't seen enough of all the nominated shows to make a good comparison. Though I do think that Grey Gardens should've won best score. They do some very intersting things with music. And it never reminds me of 'Once More, With Feeling'
