Why are they breaking down the technical awards by play and musical?

I like that they are breaking down some of the awards. It gives more talented people the chance to win.

Some early predictions...
Best Actor in a Musical: Tom Hewitt, Dracula (even those who hate the show seem to love him) OR B.D. Wong, Pacific Overtures
Best Actress in a Musical: Christina Applegate, Sweet Charity (I absolutely adore her, and this role is perfect for her)
Best Actress in a Play: Neve Campbell, Syncopation (Not sure about that one... When is it opening?)
Best Featured Actor in a Play: Philip Bosco, 12 Angry Men
Best Featured Actress in a Play: Brenda Blethyn, 'night Mother
It is, of course, too early to seriously predict this. But, if any of these people really win, you heard it here first.

Syncopation is not happening, but the proposition of Neve Campbell winning Best Actress is completely hilarious. I'd put my money on Natasha Richardson in Streetcar Named Desire or Jessica Lange in The Glass Menagerie, with Phylicia Rashad (Gem of the Ocean), Mary-Louise Parker (Reckless), Laura Linney (Sight Unseen) and Edie Falco ('Night Mother) for possible nominations, though the spring could bring any number of surprises.

Best Actor in Musical: Tom Hewitt (Dracula), *Tim Curry(Spamalot)*, Daniel Davis (La Cage aux Folles), B.D. Wong (Pacific Overtures), Cleavant Derreks (Brooklyn)- sorry if I spelt his name wrong
Best Actress in Musical: Sutton Foster (Little Women), *Eden Espinosa (Brookyn)*, Romona Keller (Brooklyn), Christina Applegate (Sweet Charity), (BLANK)
Best Featured Actor in Musical: Don Stephenson (Dracula)
Best Featured Actress in Musical: Kelli O'Hara (Dracula)

I disagree completely, BroadwayChild. As for Best Musical, Brooklyn is far from it, but considering the competition this year, it might as well win.
Best revival should go to Pacific Overtures, no matter what. La Cage aux Follies doesn't even hold a candle to PO.
Best actor? Possibly B.D. Wong.
Best Actress? Ramona Keller, all the way. Not only for Brooklyn, but there should be a special something for Caroline. A lot better then screechy ol' Eden.

Let's count. The Tonys are.... 8 months away. I'm excited, too, but early much?

Best costumes for a musical: Tobin Ost, Brooklyn
That's the only close shot of a Tony that I foresee for Brooklyn at this point in time (it hasn't even opened), besides a possible Ramona nod.

There's no way Christina Applegate will beat out Sutton Foster, I don't even think she'd beat out Eden or Ramona. Then again, I've never heard her sing, but I'm still thinking it's an impossibilty based on pure talent (for Sutt) and hype, if not talent (for Eden).

You may think the material is better, but that doesn't automatically mean the revival will be better.

Speaking of Donna, she seems to be miraculously better. I know she didn't need her voice to attend Golda's Balcony on Sunday, but the girl has just been popping up everywhere since she's left WT.
IT'S A MIRACLE!!
