The final stretch! It's 10:56pm as we return - look for a quick wrap-up as they hand the "Best Musical" award to "Spring Awakening."

Angela Lansbury is back to present the award - the winner: "Spring Awakening." Who'da thunk it? Seriously, of all the musical performances tonight, it's the only one that stands out. Congrats to the show for what looks like a near-clean sweep!

A quick wrap up and we're off to the local news. Didn't I tell you they'd finish on time?

So, a solid show, though not filled with the kind of awesome song-and-dance numbers we might expect. Still, classy, in good taste (aside from one blooper) and devoid of the usual over-the-top "aren't we great" feeling you get from most award shows.

Thanks to all for tuning in to our live-blogging experiment. It's been fun! I'll have a final recap of the show tomorrow, assuming I'm still able to type. Good night!
