    Mormons took all at the Tony Awards while Neil Patrick Harris rocked his position as host;  Catherine Zeta-Jones sparkled in red; Daniel Radcliffe took his snub in stride; Vanessa Redgrave pre-partied before the big event; Oh Land sang for the Queen of Denmark; the Puerto Rican Day Parade took over 5th Avenue and more! This weekend's parties sang, threw jazz hands, and marched across the city!

Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe was snubbed for a nomination, but did get time on stage with presenting duties and a performance. Neil Patrick Harris played host, shutting down the house with a rap that recapped the entire show and must have been written while it was in progress. Pretty dang impressive. Take that Hugh Jackman!  [Via]
