Those poor, lowly crafts awards just got demoted

Los Angeles Times: "In the past, PBS telecast the bestowal of the creative-arts Tony Awards that were handed out before the CBS broadcast. At least that gave them some serious media attention. This year PBS didn't bother. The presentations were only webcast. That might be OK in this Internet age, but they didn't even get attention from the Tonys chiefs. As those awards were being passed out, that video wasn't what appeared on the monitors back in the press room. Instead, those monitors were tuned to the red-carpet arrivals aired on NY1, the local, New York-only cable channel."
