stop my heart melted when he said “i’d like to thank everyone at the kit kat club”

[@bway_car08]

He truly is the best Emcee

[@MichaelTheTenor]

No ,Joel Grey is the best!

[@andreavalentinaperez2734]

After Joey!

[@valmacclinchy]

Yes, Carleigh, Alan took the role to a totally different level. He's phenomenal. And a very sweet man, too.

[@inezfeytons8896]

Joey Grey in the movie is the best

[@michelehood8837]

Joel and Alan are equally as phenomenal as the MC

[@rocknroll20024]

Wow he look so young back then still love him

[@flannerymonaghan-morrs4740]

tara thelen still looks the same years later!

[@haute03]

Aw I loved his nose scratch (very *wink wink*) when he thanked "people that he loves". Such a wonderfully talented man.

[@tejaswoman]

It's so weird seeing them not cut away to the actors in the audience. I can't think when I've ever seen that when the nominations were being announced right before the award is given out.

[@npage133]

I read in Alan Cumming's memoir Baggage, that they didn't cut away to the audience because they were running short on time and needed to really speed things up.

[@alexl92]

Him thanking his mom and his brother - 😭. Makes me love him even more!

[@euemyz]

I love so much that guy

[@rociocanelacastillo]

So cute as he ponders who to thank next 😊

[@mrspock172]

Bless him he defiantly deserves this

[@tynielsen]

A well-deserved Tony! He deserved it!

[@davidpacheco7124]

Saw him the 1st time he did it. He was awesome. The whole cast!

[@wompwomp1457]

Oh my gosh how was that?! I would give about anything to go back and see that!

[@theycallmeabs50]

Alan was and is such a cutie!!!

[@Fee212]

Alan is SO charming and funny. He must be the best party guest ever. xXx

[@gbuddah]

Came to watch this after reading in the NY Times that he was on Ecstacy when he won this award. Love it!

[@emilygracey]

Oh shit, they're all great nominees!!!

[@Ayden_B]

Deservedly so.

[@rodolfogalindo4041]

Best performances i ever has the plaesure yo see. He AND chita in spider woman i wont forget ever.

[@YOYO-mx6ie]

I remember him in take the high road

[@CYP0]

In 1998, Annette Benning was making American Beauty with Sam Mendes.

[@nicolerohde9113]

Was that Cameryn Manheim sitting next to Alan? I’ve always wondered.

[@orangepineapplephoto]

It was. He brought her as his date because they were friends and she had told him she'd never been to the Tonys, but loved them

[@JeromeGentes]

Damn, he really was on Ecstasy that night. See under: dehydration.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

sweet

[@kellyfeger]

He was rolling the night away on that candy! 🤪😉

[@johndalton3180]

Lol of course. NYC. 1997. Studio 54. Ya gotta "indulge" on that yummy "candy" ; - ) SO much damn fun.

[@Jae-pe2xh]

Does anyone know why they did not show them when their name was announced like they did with the others.

[@Melhines96]

Anyone else here from TikTok after his performance is going viral?

[@hyacinthlover9370]

Cutie patootie

[@SaintCharlos]

I just wonder, why do you like Alan Cumming so much? I mean he isn't that amazing, he's just decent. He's also fucking CREEPY O_O

[@Donyalicious]

Touhoulicious lol I know this comment is 2 years old but how is he creepy

[@saschahoupt6177]

Donyalicious 1234 the commented probably meant as the character

[@dovestone_]

His character is but he isn’t

[@johnfulton4061]

Creepy just like your mother

[@ariaflame-au]

@@dovestone_ Which means he must be a very good actor if he convinced Saint Charlos.
