How Did David Hyde Pierce Win Best Actor, and Other Unanswered Questions

HBO wasn't the only source of unanswered questions last night. There were plenty from CBS, too. A few: Did "Being Alive" make any sense to viewers who hadn't seen the rest of Company? Why was "Revolutionary Costume for Today" so good onstage but so lousy onscreen? How did David Hyde Pierce (whom we love, but still) beat Raúl Esparza? (Also: Esparza was sitting next to a woman, so is he straight again now? And should we be impressed that Hyde Pierce thanked his partner "of twenty-four years" or a little disgusted that he did so only at the Tonys, never at the Emmys?) Doesn't "Please welcome Chorus Line composer Marvin Hamlisch and CSI star Marg Helgenberger" sound like a Family Guy joke? And, perhaps of the gravest concern to us, what exploded on Marcia Gay Harden, and did that explosion also blind Judd Hirsch (or somehow turn him into Richard Belzer)? We expected at least some of these questions to be answered on Vulture today. No luck. Guess The Sopranos got in the way. Tomorrow? (We do, after all, love ya, tomorrow.)
