:eek: WTF 
Plus he beat (are you ready?)
Phillip Seymour Hoffman
John Lithgow
Frank Langella
James Earl Jones
World gone mad.
Don't care what anybody says NO WAY he will ever act for one freakin' second better then those 4 greats.
He must know where some bodies are buried or something.

"She makes me say 'us' instead of 'I' and 'we' instead of 'me', and I love her. Thank you very much."
His comments reminded me of the lyrics to Ben
"I used to say "I and me"
Now it's us now it's we
(I used to say "I is me")
(now it's us now it's we)
Congratulations and well done to him on his award.
Me too.
But he is a great stage actor. I'm sorry.
Sadly me and Mr AK couldn't got the night we had tickets for due to family stuff, but every review I've seen and the people I know that have seen it have all said he was brilliant - so well done Mr Corden
Good for him.
It's comparing James Corden in One Man, Two Guvnors against Philip Seymour Hoffman in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman (and the the other three nominees).
Have you seen both plays on multiple nights to be in a position to judge their respective merits? I suspect not. Your view of Corden in Lesbian Vampire Killers and Hoffman in Capote doesn't count.
It's like claiming that Chelsea is not a better team than Bayern Munich despite beating them in the Champions League Final, overall they might not be but on the night they were.
I said James Corden was a great stage actor. I then went on to say that he wasn't a better actor than Philip Seymour Hoffman. I didn't say PSH's nominated perfomance was better than JC's nominated performance. I was saying that PSH is a better actor than JC.
Is that ok with you?
I thought the exact same thing
Well done to him, I say.
Here is where it all started, his tango adverts (which got banned):

I saw the play in London and the whole cast were marvellous. Wasn't sure if it would translate so well in America even though they changed a few things to 'americanise' it. They obviously loved it and I'm really chuffed for him. His speech does suggest he's not as flash a character as people think he is as I thought he came across as very humble. Well done James!!
If I remember an interview correctly most of the main cast transferred to Broadway although they couldn't take the whole cast & crew because American Equity laws restrict the number of foreign artists allowed (and insists on a certain number of Americans).
Let me think about it and I'll get back to you.
UPDATE - I seldom look at posters names, so I was not aware that you had posted twice in a row. Therefore I was only replied to the post I quoted and was not aware of your earlier comment.
On reflection therefore, taking this additional information into account, I have decided that yes, it is OK with me.
Glad to help.
I think he's an appalling presenter, and incredibly annoying as a "personality"... he was so over-exposed a few years ago I'm not surprised there was a back lash for a while.
However, I thought he was really good in Doctor Who so I can imagine him being good on stage too.
Well done.
OP you seem very bitter, I think the tony judges are more qualified than you to decide. Have you seen the show? It's not as though he got the award for his portrayal of Smithy ffs.
I only saw Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Death Of A Salesman. It was brilliant.
Like i said before he'll never act better than the 4 of them. End of story.
I'm delighted for James, from what I've read he is excellent in One Man Two Guvnors, a Tony award is pretty much up there when it comes to awards.
What impressed me about Corden was that he admitted he was becoming a nightmare, not many celebs do that. Since he's become a dad he seems to have mellowed, his acceptance speech is proof of that - he seems very contented.
