TONY - as in Time Out New York - has just posted the Tony nominees it would name if it called the shots. Some controversial calls. See what the real Tony committee will get WRONG on Tuesday.

Deborah Cox from Jekyll and Hyde? Funny!
YAY!!! LAURA OSNES!!!
YAY!!! SANTINO FONTANA!!!
YAY!!! YVONNE STRAHOVSKI!!!
YAY!!! SETH NUMRICH!!!!
YAY!!! GOLDEN BOY!!!!
I think they are going to find a pretty high percentage of matches with the Tony noms.
LOVE- except, of course, regarding Bertie Carvel--the article must have been written a day or two ago.

The article specifically says that is makes noms the way they see them....not with what they think will happen, nor that their choices take the ruling into considertation. They specifically mention they put Bertie in featured because that's where they think he should be.
Ooops. Sorry! I still love it, and I agree that Carvel should be supporting.

The Sound Design for musical category is ridiculous. The MOTOWN nominee isn't even a sound designer and the PIPPIN nominee was fired and replaced weeks ago during previews!
Hands should have stuck around a little longer.
I wonder when Pippin will jack up their prices. Now after the Tony win or both times?

Wait, why isn't Gregg Barnes on the Best Costume list?! The entire premise of KINKY BOOTS is based around his designs...
No, the premise is an already existing movie...and that movie was based on a true story.
And these aren't ACTUALLY the nominations....I hope you realize.
How could they leave Bette Midler out?
Crazy.
I bet not one of their Featured Actors in a Musical will get a nom (in that category).
Even if Andy Karl should.

I won't be surprised if Midler is left out. It's very close to her own persona, which is a great fit, but they like actors who stretch and this is in no way a stretch for her. And great as Barnes is, Kinky didn't really call upon him to do anything extraordinary other than, arguably, the boots. The drag is rather easy and typical.
