‘Red’ and ‘Memphis’ win big at star-studded 2010 Tony awards

The World

Despite the drizzle, last night’s 2010 Tony Awards at Radio City Music Hall felt like a Hollywood event. Scarlett Johannson, Laura Linney, Jude Law, and the band Green Day walked down the red carpet. The night’s biggest awards went to “Memphis,” which won in the Musical category, and “Red,” which took home the Tony for Musical Revival. Patrick Healy of The New York Times was there and joins The Takeaway to talk about the winners, losers, and surprises from the night.
