I just don't think it's Patina's year. Any other year, she would win, but it is totally Sutton's year!
Also, I wonder how Patti feels about Laura winning the Featured Actress award and how she'll feel when Laura takes home her second Tony...will she be pissed?? That IS the question!
I'm pretty sure Patti's next book will have at least a chapter dedicated to how pissed she is at Laura.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

As much as I want it to be Patina, it seems like they're going to go the safe, more traditional route and award Sutton.
As for LuPone, if she feels any sort of jealousy or annoyance at Benanti winning over her, she'll never express it publicly. She and Benanti are too close.
Last year Montego Glover and Catherine Zeta Jones tied at both the Outer Critics Circle Awards and Drama Desk Awards, but Zeta-Jones won the Tony. I had a good feeling that Zeta-Jones was going to win, but I think the vote must've been close.
I like Patina, but in terms of her Tony chances, Sutton smokes her. I saw the final dress for Sister Act, and wanted to leave halfway through Act I. Whereas I didn't want Anything Goes to end. I went in to that show with quite a few reservations, as I am a LuPonatic, but Sutton won me over in her very first scene. The Tony will go to her, I'm sure.
Sutton won her tony for a breakout rise from the chorus role.
Patina is nominated for a breakout, rise from the chorus role.. I think Patina could take this
"Grease," the fourth revival of the season, is the worst show in the history of theater and represents an unparalleled assault on Western civilization and its values. - Michael Reidel
