It’s AWARD Season right now and handing them out doesn’t always make for interesting viewing. Especially if just a handful of people/films/shows sweeping the board. It can also be disappointing as in this year’s Golden Globes where some great queer nominees went home empty-handed. https://bit.ly/48MdLcA .
However once in a blue moon an actor shocks and delights us all with a live performance in the middle of the ceremony that lifts it all to another plane. Like on the night of the Tony Awards back in. 1983 Dorothy Loudon gave a fearless, showstopping performance of “Vodka!” ( from the 1925 musical Song of the Flame). The actress was best-known for her Tony Award-winning performance creating the role of Miss Hannigan in Annie and would go on to get nominated for Tony Awards for the musicals The Fig Leaves Are Falling and Ballroom
But this was the night she stole the show
