Six-Time Tony Winner Audra McDonald, reigning Queen of Broadway
In honor of the Tony nomination announcement today, it's about time I published this post I've had waiting for almost two months now. With 64 Divas in our tournament, they're practically drowning in Tonys. Collectively, 53 Divas have received one or more nominations across four eligible acting categories, and 31 have taken home the prize. And you'll never believe what tumblr's image limit is. 30.
As luck would have it, two Divas won Tonys in the same year and despite what might be the most dramatic height difference possible, Bebe Neuwirth and Janet McTeer were photographed together specifically so I could make this post work 27 years later. (Bebe in heels and Janet in flats, and still...)

THATS RIGHT FOLKS, ITS YET ANOTHER TUMBLR BRACKET!
This bracket it dedicated to finding the silliest of sillygirls. May the silliest (and, in all likelyhood, most autistic) one win.
BLOG RULES:
1: Vote for whomever you think is silliest
2a: If there is a tie, both parties move on to the next round.
2b: if this creates an uneven amount of contestants, a poll will be held with a selection of losers (chosen by who lost to the smallest margin) to see who re-enters to balance it out.
3: Be a good sport. Don’t be vitriolic if a character beats your favorite.
4: Don’t be mean about smaller fandoms. Kinda goes hand and hand with rule 3.
5. No botting the votes/otherwise use voter fraud. I cannot stop you but it would just be an dick move on a fucking tumblr poll.
6: You are allowed to not vote for Dahlia (My Friends Cat(From Real Life)) but do be aware it would make her sad.
7: Be kind to Mod Silver. He is delicate.

Since I have a write up about every other AU I have in this poll, I thought I’d give the medieval AU one as well.
Albert Munson III was traitorous bastard whose only thought was making the next gold coin. Coin he never seemed to be able to hold on to. Gambling, booze, and women were only some of Albert’s vices. His younger, more level headed brother, Wayne did everything he could to try and keep as much of Edward’s inheritance as possible, but it was a losing battle.
Finally Albert spent the wrong man’s coin and ended up beheaded at the behest of the crown. The two remaining Munsons were stripped of their lands, title, what little was left of their coffers.
King Lawrence demanded that Wayne replace his court jester, but Edward stepped in and volunteered, saying that he knew how to sing, and to play the lute. King Lawrence agreed.
The point of the jester is to speak truth to power. To make the king laugh in front of his court and then think later in private. Eddie was good. He was just getting a feel for the old King when the man passes away suddenly. Edward would have suspected the young prince, Stephan, of murdering the old man. But the prince cried harder then the queen mother, Queen Penelope at the funeral.
Queen Penelope is eager to find Stephan a bride as soon as possible. Duchess Annika, called Nancy by her friends. The Marquise Robbyne of Buckley. Her first husband died while she was still young enough to be married off again. Ladies Tamera and Victoria. But the brightest gem is Princess Christine of Cunningham. Are all brought to the castle with a gift and their doweries to entice King Stephan to the alter.
Too bad his eyes tend to wander toward his jester then bevy of beauties his mother keeps parading around.
Sir Dustin is Stephan’s personal servant and guard. Hopper is chief of the guards that include Sirs Lucas, Michael, and William. Lord Jonathan was given head of his family’s fading house when his father died in the battle that Albert, Earl of Munson had sold the king’s own weapons to the opposition.
