Tom Stoppard's titanic The Coast of Utopia trilogy, despite stiff competition from Frost/Nixon, may be destined to win the Tony for Best Play, and Spring Awakening is probably the one to beat for Best Musical, but I'd like to hand out a few trophies of my own.

The "As Your Financial Adviser, I Beg You to Reconsider" Award

Broadway producers, for mounting an astonishing 20 straight plays this season, some of them neither revivals nor British exports.

The Marble Torso Award

Kevin Kline, at the Public, for having the courage to play King Lear as a silver fox with six-pack abs.

Best Proof of God's Existence

The Coast of Utopia's glorious Jennifer Ehle, re-creating Manet's Dejeuner sur l'Herbe onstage, sans costume.
