Theater lovers will most likely tune into the Tony Awards ceremony this Sunday — but how much of that will overlap with Facebook?

The official page for the Tonys has 125,789 likes — while that kind of number might not seem small for pages in other industries, for entertainment and television in particular, that tally comes in on the small side.

The highest like count we found for an entertainment award ceremony on Facebook: The BET Awards has 611,789 likes, and the next ceremony is June 26.

There just so happens to be a contest on the page that promises one grand prize winner a deluxe trip to the actual BET Awards ceremony — it’s very possible that this promotion jacked up the like count, based on the tallies among award ceremonies that don’t have contests.
