Tony AwardTony Awards – In line with the titling of the Academy Awards, which were moved as the article is as much about the ceremony as the awards themselves. But that's the other reason, because this article is not about a single award but a group of them that are referred to in the collective far more than in the singular, unless the category is being specified. That is, casually someone might say someone won "the Tony", but it's being used as a shorthand for "Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical" or which ever category is relevant. The articles on the individual awards should remain singular, but this article, as with the Academy Awards, refers to all of them collectively, and should be plural. oknazevad (talk) 23:57, 26 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Milestones, Individuals, Playing the Opposite Sex

[edit]

In the subheading "Award milestones" and the sub-subheading "Individuals," there's a point about people who have won Tonys for playing the opposite sex. Do we include cis man Neil Patrick Harris playing trans woman Hedwig, she of the angry inch? Do we include non-binary J. Harrison Ghee and Alex Newell playing a trans woman and a cis woman respectively? Point to consider: We're talking about sex and not gender. Should we just junk that entire part of the article? --IJVin (talk) 21:06, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
