The Tony Awards, Drake's Pants, and Why People Are Getting COVID for Taylor Swift

The 77th annual Tony Awards are this Sunday on CBS, which means the best of Broadway (and some of Hollywood) are going to make their way to the Great White Way to celebrate the theatre. ("Theatre" with an intentional "re" and said like Judi Dench in a Shakespeare play.) Newsweek's H. Alan Scott breaks down who will win and how Hollywood might actually have a great night at the Tonys.

Scott also breaks down those crazy pants Drake wore, how Gwyneth Paltrow is out of touch (and that's okay), and how some fans are fine getting COVID-19 for Taylor Swift. (Like what is wrong with people?!)
