lol, I really thought she would get a nom because she's freakin' ELAINE PAIGE and she's in her 60's and who knows if she will be on Broadway again since this was like her 1st time originating a role in anything.
at least it shows that they won't do that kind of thing (same for Angela Lansbury) unless you truly deserve it. Elaine did nothing special in Follies IMO while Jayne Houdyshell really made 'Broadway Baby' her own which is hard to do for such a well known song. (plus didn't she join the show kind of last minute? that's impressive as well. :)
Elaine Pagels was robbed! She should have been a finalist for a Pulitzer for her book "Revelations: Visions, Prophecy, and Politics in the Book of Revelation."
Elaine Stritch was robbed because she was The First Elaine of the American Musical Theater until shorty showed up. But Stritch had the last laugh because she was the star of a British sitcom.
