Will Ferrell could well win both a Tony Award and an Emmy Award for playing former president George W. Bush in his new Broadway show "You're Welcome America." While reviews for this satire were somewhat mixed, Will Ferrell will benefit from competing in the Tony Awards category for special theatrical events. This catch-all category has been dominated by star turns from the likes of Elaine Stritch and Billy Crystal since it was created in 2001. That was also the year Will Ferrell competed in the individual performance category at the Emmy Awards for his work on "Saturday Night Live." And with HBO set to air this new show live on March 14, Will Ferrell will be eligible to contend in that same category at this fall's Emmy Awards.
