Tony was a no-show, luckily Daniel Radcliffe and Al Pacino's headband turned up

The Tony Awards are like the Oscars and The Brits, except it's for the theatre, so Holy Moly's readership are likely to think "War Horse? Ah yeah - saw the advert on the tube" rather than "YES! Brian Macdevitt won Best Lighting!" but the organisers know that, so they invite a load of famous people to the ceremony so we aren't just sat here looking awkwardly at each other.

 

 

The pictures are notable for a couple of reasons:

  1. Daniel Radcliffe trying not to be Harry Potter while everyone looks at the picture and says "There's Harry Potter without his glasses on".
  2. Al Pacino's headband. What?
  3. Whoopi Goldberg's hat
  4. Harry Connick Jr's disappointing shade of foundation
  5. Cagney! or is it Lacey!
  6. If you stare into these eyes long enough you actually fall asleep and wake up with your underwear on backwards
  7. Ellen Berkin's plastic surgery :(
  8. Christina Hendricks
  9. See 8
  10. See 9
