Tracy Letts, whose Pulitzer Prize winning play "August: Osage County" won best play:
In thanking his producers, he took a swipe at Broadway shows that cast movie stars and winners from TV reality shows and said, "They did an amazing thing: They decided to produce an American play on Broadway with theater actors."

My sediments exactly...writing ROCKS! ;)

I dig this one (plus is just awesome that a woman director got the award):

Anna D. Shapiro, winner direction-play for "August: Osage County":
She thanked her six nieces and nephews who "mercifully just think of me as Aunt Anna and don't care about any of this. They just don't. They just wanted tickets to `Little Mermaid.' And I got them."
