MOST BIZARRE MUSICAL TRIBUTE
The Jersey Boys/Sopranos number
Okay, we get the connections between the Jersey-set gangster drama and the Broadway musical Jersey Boys, especially since a reference to the stage bio of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons was an in-joke in a later episode of The Sopranos, on which Valli himself had a recurring role. Still, it was odd to hear falsetto-crooned love songs performed over a video montage of scenes showing characters like Ralphie and Adriana getting whacked, or Tony and Carmela fighting, or AJ attempting suicide. (Is this really what Valli had in mind when he sang ''Can't Take My Eyes Off of You''?) After the awkward tribute, the Sopranos gang took the stage and basked in audience applause — a moment that somewhat detracted from the power of their Best Drama win at the end of the ceremony.
