but trust me, Hamilton got robbed.

No, it didn't. It won a ton of Tonys, because it's a play -- a play that premiered six years ago. A filmed play performance has never been eligible for this award before, and there was no reason to make Hamilton eligible this year except to have Lin Manuel appear on the broadcast. It winning would have been ridiculous. Even more ridiculous than the level of absurdity the Globes already normally feature in their ceremonies.
