Tony Administration Committee to Assemble in December
Yahoo! News: "The Tony Awards Administration Committee includes 24 members: ten designated by the Wing, ten by the League, and one each by the Dramatists Guild, Actors' Equity Association, United Scenic Artists, and the Society of Stage Directors and Choreographers. This committee 'determines eligibility for nominations in all awards categories, reviews the rules governing the awards, and appoints the Nominating Committee. It may, at its discretion, bestow [four] non-competitive Tony Awards: Special Tony Awards and the Regional Theatre Tony Award; as well as Tony Honors for Excellence in the Theatre and the Isabelle Stevenson Award.'"

I never knew how the committee was selected. It's nice to see that everyone is represented. I also didn't realize the cut off date was in April. But also having read this article my calendar is now marked for the award show.
The Tony Awards are just another in a long list of available awards. They just happen to be the biggest "to do" of the theatre awards. I still think like most awards, they are fixed and a popularity contest. However, it is nice to be recognized for what artists do. Not to mention what it can do for anyone's career.
I have to admit I will probably watch and enjoy them.
