That's a beautiful speech! very sweet!

[BdaSinga]

I think I watched the beginning like ten times, analyzing each woman's reaction.

[Just3guyzproduction]

This is how a thanking speech should be!!!

[ICS1993]

"They're saying wrap it up, but I will not leave this stage!" I'm glad she fought for her moment.

[yankeefan42]

[theatrefreak3]

Laura looked shocked and pissed!!!!!!

[supersnail3354]

@theatrefreak3 lol I know right? She totally thought she had it... you can even say her say "wow" when Nikki is announced lol

[rozanund133]

Rory at 1:30. <3

[moelizabethsings]

i love her. :) Sooo glad that she won!!!

[fountainchain126]

BUSTED! Laura was sooooooooo totally like "wow, I was not expecting that......" she mouths "woah" for gods sakes its so funny!!! she is so disappointed, bless her. Patti is totally chilled & you can tell :)

[fountainchain126]

OMG Vicki Clark is so happy for her thats so nice!!

[fountainchain126]

I'm so glad that Patti wasn't even expecting it; she looks so happy for Nikki. I'd imagine Laura was PISSED though

[olivianicolexo]

@fountainchain126 Laura has her Tony though so I don't feel sympathy for her. I always root for the underdogs at awards shows and to see that Nikki won was such a great feeling :)

[LucidDivinity]

lol, i love the initial look of surprise from the one on the bottom left.

at 1:04, the guy on the right is like "Really? >.>"

And lol...I hate when they start to play music over the performers' speeches :| I understand that they have to watch time, but it always bugs me...I want them to have their moment ;_;

[lilpokey731]

@LucidDivinity that guy on the right is Trey Parker, he created the show, he was about to cry haha. I don't think "really?" is going through his mind haha

[lilpokey731]

@LucidDivinity and by Trey Parker I mean Matt Stone!! Sorry the two of them are always together haha

[beaux1]

So deserving and so talented!!! Truly the best moment of the Tonys 2011

[CleveNMLActor]

laura benanti looked pissed lol soooo glad nikki won!!

[kylejerel]

@CleveNMLActor Well, she and Nikki were the frontrunners; Laura won the Critcs and Drama Desk awards weeks before. However, even a tad surprised, she was happy for Nikki (per her Facebook). (Personally, I would rather either; both are wonderful.)
