Drama League Awards
The ceremony was held on Fri. May 15, 2009 at the Grand Ballroom in the Marriott Marquis in NYC. Patrick presented the award for "Distinguished Production of a Play" and was a nominee for the "Distinguished Performance Award". (Geoffrey Rush of "Exit the King" was the winner.)

Here's a write-up about the Awards Luncheon & Ceremony from broadway.com
It sounds like such an interesting event:
http://www.broadway.com/Billy-Elliot-Carnage-and-Geoffrey-Rush-Take-Top-Drama-League-Honors/broadway_news/5027519

Excerpt:
"As usual, the nominated actors were seated on a three-tier dais on the stage of the Marriott's Broadway Ballroom. After being introduced, each nominee was handed a microphone and invited to make a short speech. Before winning, Rush gave the wittiest remarks of the afternoon, calling the Drama League luncheon "unique, thrilling and strange" and comparing the dais to "a performance art installation." The group photo, he added, was like posing for the cover of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper album. Not to be outdone, Shrek star Christopher Sieber likened the dais to "the largest panel of Match Game ever." "

We've added some photos of Patrick arriving for the ceremony. They are in the Miscellaneous Photos Gallery on our main site: HERE
