First Disabled Actress Ali Stroker Wins a Tony Award

Image
On Sunday night I tuned into the Tony Awards.   Oklahoma  performed the number "I Can't Say No."  I noticed a woman in a wheelchair playing Ado Annie. I wiped my eyes making sure I was seeing things right and yes I was. I was watching Ali Stroker make history by being the first person to win a Tony Award in a wheelchair.  She accepted the award for the best-featured actress.  This is amazing because people with disabilities should be able to play parts even if they can't use their legs or have other conditions. Ali Stoker, a 31-year-old woman from New Jersey who ended up in a wheelchair at the age of two years old from a car accident. She has been active in theater since the age of seven.

My 2019 Golden Globe Awards Predictions

The Golden Globes of 2019 is fast approaching. I thought it would be fun to let you know who I think will win and who I wish will win. I haven't seen all of the movies and tv shows, but I will predict from the trailers and critics. Even if you haven't seen all of the movies and tv shows it is still fun to see if you are predicting it right.  To be honest, I haven't seen every movie in this category, but from what I have seen of them and what I have read from critics the film who has a very good chance of winning is Bohemian Rhapsody.  What I would love to see win: I would love to see Bohemian Rhapsody or Black Panther. A Star is Born was a good film but if it wasn't for Lady Gaga and her music it would have been very boring.  I have not seen every movie in this category but I believe Mary Poppins Returns  will win. I also could see Vice  winning because everyone seems to be into politics.  What I would love to see win is Mary Poppins Returns .
