Yea, I feel like the musical itself has a decent chance, but my No-Guts-No-Glory choice is Brandon Ellis in Bandstand (or really any of the band members). But Brandon's performance has stuck with me - charming, layered...that one serious moment his character has (just a few lines) was seriously memorable. I know it is a crowded category, but it would be great to see him recognized.
I would like for bandstand to sneak in and get the fourth slot so that all best musical nominees are on the same street 2 shows beside one another on each side facing each other.
^^^That's really cool, now that I think about it! If that does happen, I'll make sure to snag a picture of the street once they have all their nominations ads up outside the theatres.
My No Guts this year is actually a LACK of nominations.
I predict that all the so called experts that are overlooking Great Comet in their oh so highly skilled predictions to be correct and that Comet will be bumped out of a number of categories including all the acting categories expect for Steele in featured actor and they are left out of a number of the technical and creative awards.
From Come From Away- Joel Hatch - such a strong presence and great voice in that show, and Cesar Samayoa and Chad Kimball. They were both entertaining and movng. I did not even realize that one of the Kevins was also the Muslim passenger for quite some time!
From DEH - Mike Faist, Will Roland and Michael Park. I thought Mike and Will were both terrific in very different pafts. I know a lot of people didn't care for To Break In A Glove, but my heart went out to Connor's dad in that song.
Jackie Hoffman in the un-magical, visually depressing, sugarless " Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". You can't keep your eyes off of her as she's the one that stands out providing much needed laughter!
