For some reason the “edit” option is gone for me so I can’t just add this to my initial post. But the rules would have changed / loosened up prior to the 2024 nominations because all three from Merrily were nominated; and Urinetown was nominated last year for City Center. I can’t think of any other instances of more than two performers from a show or City Center productions prior to that.  Others will know better than I, but I can’t think of a single ti

It does appear the eligibility either quietly changed or the rules were loosened a bit. Looking over eligibility requirements, it doesn’t state that only two performers from a show are eligible, and regarding the transfer shows “double dipping”, it states that “Productions that transfer within two separate seasons, but that are materially similar in the creative team, design, and acting company, may be considered in both seasons”.

 

Regarding C

I mean by Tony eligibility there are new musicals but The Lost Boys is technically the only “new” musical in the sense that it’s the unknown one without previous productions and transfers. If only Dead Outlaw held off a season… and if only Paddington, Mexodus and Bat Boy had opened this season (with Bat Boy somehow eligible in New Musical as correct me if I’m wrong the published perform version is mostly the original off

^Agree completely, ColorTheHours048! 

Can we just talk about the amount of performances up for consideration in all four acting categories is insane. So many of them were honestly win competitive in any other year and each of the four categories had at least two or three actors left off nominations that could easily have been nominated and win competitive in any other year… (Paul Mescal, Ariana Grande, Odessa A’zion, Joel Eggerton, Amanda S

Given his comedy chops and previous theater experience, Broadway could definitely be on the cards for him. However, with his rising star power, it’s just as likely that he has bigger TV or film projects in mind. Either way, it’s clear that his talent will keep shining beyond SNL!"

This reads like an AI response.

Also, regarding these split part movies: I honestly think the best way it’s been done to date is with one of my top 20 favorite films of all time… Kill Bill. Released Pt 1 in theatre’s fall and Pt 2 in the spring. I know that wasn’t supposed to be a split movie and it’s the only time the disgraced rapist EP didn’t go scissor happy and cut the films to pieces… but that model should be followed more often. 

Like, what if Wicked Pt 1 was re

Paul Mescal not getting a supporting nomination and It Was Just an Accident not getting in for Picture and Director are the most egregious things about the nominations. However, I’m ecstatic for Delroy Lindo; I wish there could have been a tie and supporting actor had all six nominated. Not surprised Ariana didn’t make it but I’m kind of shocked Elle Fanning is who knocked her out over Odessa A’zion. I would have nominated Amanda Seyfried for the fifth slot in Lead ove

MagicalMusical said: "So while yes, it’s true I have not seen a lot of the movies that could have Oscar worthy performances this year, I truly cannot see a world where Ariana’s performance doesnot garner an Oscar nomination. I also think she will win, but admittedly that is, as I said, without knowing much of the competition."

Having seen all of the films that are competitive in Best Supporting Actress at the Oscars, I still think Ariana is going to get a
