"I only liked Jefferson Mays as the nicest of the victims."
Isn't he all of the victims?!
I think they meant they only liked his performance as Lord Asquith D'Ysquith, Sr. (who I would assume is the "nicest" of the victims)
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.

Who knows what the nominators will do, but given that there are only 2 musicals that most agree will get the nod (MIDNIGHT and GENTLEMAN'S) I think there is a good chance that the other votes will be close and there will be 5 in the category.
