Game of Thrones versus NBA Finals
White Walkers versus Crab Walkers.
GoT versus GOAT (even if he isn’t).
Tywin Lannister versus Joey Crawford.
Auman: For a second, I thought Mufasa would introduce this year’s People Who Died montage, which would have been strong on many levels. Instead, The Lion King folks are offering highlights from costume awards earlier.
Gabriel Ebert (Matilda!) wins Best Actor in a Musical, and sets the bar high for speeches — handles a way-too-low mike deftly, earnestly thanks just the right number of people, hits his mark on time. We should all be so lucky.
Walters: Why don’t any of the Tony Award winners thank the people who sell drinks before the show and during intermission at the back of the theater? They’re the REAL heroes.
GoT and GOAT … and the Tonys come in with EGOT! I’ve got nothing on Mad Men for that one …
