...Will Win: Ignore everything I just said. This is still Hollywood. No one would dare vote against Lauren Bacall, whose smart, glorious career has yielded no prior nominations, and whose dragon-mom character in Mirror would not take kindly to rejection. Bacall has won the Screen Actors Guild and Golden Globe Awards, and she's sure to give a helluva speech...

But straight plays these days too often seem like sitcom episodes padded out for an entire evening or like rough drafts for the Hollywood movies that will (if a play runs) surely follow. The surprise is that so many talented American playwrights--most of whom make their real money churning out screenplays--keep coming back to the stage, proving that theater can still, on those occasions when the stars and stage lights align, provide a magical...
