Julie Andrews turns down Tony nomination

[lovejulieandrews]

so nice of julie andrews to do that! To recognize that it is not just her in that production, but the whole cast! she wouldn't even be nominated if it weren't for them! but i still love Julie! just look at my user name

[waldemarlopess]

The great, talented and forever beautiful Julie Andrews is truly a Broadway legend, has the most beautiful voice that's graced the stage and screen and should be given (or should already have been given) a Tony for her phenomenal performances in the theatre which include such landmarks as My Fair Lady and Camelot.

[muzicmn166]

I actually think Julie Andrews is the Julie Andrews of Broadway

[garryola]

Actually they should've given the damn award to Shaz!

[garryola]

That Shazza Channing is a true star and a real Lady of the theatre, I loved her as Mitzi in"Thoroughly Up to Date Maude"

[Jennalovesrainbows]

I think they should just give Julie Andrews a Tony just cause shes AMAZING! And is a legend. Case closed

[AndrewRudin]

What moron doesn't know CAROL Channing when they see and hear her? Ridiculous.

[PeggyJo5673]

@AndrewRudin give it a break - sometimes the right name doesn't come first go round... please give people a break

[MollyKoenigStarGleek]

True talent knows when someone is more deserving. Represent, Julie.

[Arcazazel]

:fuck, i gota dress up and go to those awards again for the hundreth time.

:I have searched my concious and my heart and sadly i cannot accept this nomination. aaaaaaaaawww..............

[NCNLocalTV]

@Arcazazel It's fitting that someone like you who would post such a moronic remark also is barely literate.... "concious"? Try "conscience." If you paid more attention in class, maybe you'd have more class now.

[mikahhorn]

Sharon Channing...hilarious.

[PeggyJo5673]

@mikahhorn Carol Channing...



[frazrowley]

I really want Julie to go back to broadway and do a play, after all she can still act. Then she can FINALLY get her well deserved Tony.

[tigrr10]

fyi - The Tony Awards, are NOT voted on by members of the Theatre industry. They are voted on by some Producers and a very elite and small crowd, mostly socialites and businessmen. It is often a purely politcial and business-oriented award. Sad to say, but true.

[wattever333]

I didn't know Carol Channing had a twin sister!? good for her.

[tranurse]

she's got class.

[groovygirl23]

Sharon Channing?

That's the legendary Carol Channing

[kylezo]

Sharon Channing? hahaha

[LukeWittz]

its carol channing dumb ass

[bombygriz]

It takes guts to turn down Broadway's greatest honour in favour of supporting ALL your cast- and crew-mates. This woman is amazing.

[popcornchickendude]

Did I like the musical Victor/Victoria? Not incredibly. It was slow at times, with some unmemorable songs. But, did they deserve to only get a nomination for Julie Andrews? No! Julie definitely deserved hers, hell, she would've won that year! But the costumes, Rachel York, set, Tony Edwards, they deserved nominations too! Especially Rachel, because if Andrews wasn't there, she would've stolen the show.

[princesso8788]

I agree only one word can describe her and that is pure CLASS.

[Framblott]

Isn't it awful when a woman in public life has gorgeous breasts and doesn't get credit for them because they don't fit her image. Sit down Carol. For example, Julie Andrews (the movie SOB), Katherine Grayson(38s), Marie Wilson (38s), and the 25 yr old Elizabeth II (38s same as M Monroe).

[Framblott]

@ryboe77. No, it's Sherrol Channing, and I had her when she was good. Together we sang Ceement Mixer Puttee Puttee.

[luckey13chic]

That is just so inspiring. Talk about the most unselfish person ever. Holy crap.

[IamGodsGirlandsecond]

You cant find a more classy lady than that one right there. Love her!

[chassetriel]

you don't get many people who turn down prestigious awards because the supporting cast were unacknowledged, nowadays. love her to bits!

[indyfred1]

That was Carol's twin sister and stunt double Sharon. (jk)

[KekoaOnorati]

@indyfred1 OMG Don't say that, that's how rumors get started! LMAO xD

[JuneRox25]

They put Sharon Channing. Isn't it Carol channing?

[EquineDreams]

She had real CLASS! Growing up I knew her mostly from "The Sound of Music" and always loved her. But I don't know my theater history. When she said "overlooked" who was she referring to? And what were they trying to give her the tony award for- was this for Camelot? Please forgive my ignorance.

[Beejeification]

@EquineDreams HAHA its okay. She turned down the nomination because the rest of the company of the show "Victor/Victoria" was overlooked: she was the only one from the show who was nominated. Since she felt it was wrong that she was recognized and her superb cast and crew wasn't, she turned down the nomination.

[LiveLaughLove8489]

@EquineDreams mary poppins for me and princess diaries, and she still does have class. always will.

A. She was refering to her entire cast. She was the only one nominated from Victor/Victoria

B. The show was Victor/Victoria.

[cilrogers]

Because the remainder of the company was not recognized.

[andreinagarban]

Julie is an absolutely queen! Class, sweetness, kindness, and a very generous soul!

[disneygirly22]

why did she turn it down? anyone know?

[ryboe77]

That is Carol Channing, not Sharon Channing.
