After many months of postponement, voting in the 74th Annual Tony Awards is underway, and the statues are scheduled to be presented with the reopening of Broadway this spring.

In an unusual twist, reported The New York Times, actor Aaron Tveit, star of "Moulin Rouge!" is competing for recognition as leading actor in a musical against ... only himself.

And even though there are no other nominees, Tveit could still wind up losing, as the rules require 60% of the vote to win. [New York Times, 10/15/2020]
