Not surprised by the shafting of YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, but CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF? It's the biggest straight-play hit of the season!

and CYRANO de BERGERAC????? why????

[Borstalboy]

Posted: 5/13/08 at 8:44am

Oh, that's right! CYRANO got shafted, too! Strange noms this year. Yay for Miss Martha Plimpton!

I was a bit upset that A CATERED AFFAIR & CYRANO DE BERGERAC was overlooked!!

I feel bad that Nathan/NOVEMBER didn't get any real recognition Oh well.

Yay! And so it begins... Congrats to the Nominees!

I honestly would have preferred YF over Cry-Baby... It really doesn't make any sense.

Kerry Butler finally gets a nomination! And Christopher Fitzgerald! Overall the only one I am really confused about is Cry-Baby, oh and Grease getting a nomination for Best Revival.

Im so happy Chris, Andrea and Kerry didnt get overlooked this year! However I dont get the cry baby nomination at all! Im so surprised ACA didnt get best musical or score when it had 12 drama desk nominations. I also find it amusing that Grease was nominated.

GREASE was nominated by default!

I'm so happy for Kerry! I'm sad that neither Sierra or Sherie got nominated though.

No way is Cry-Baby a better show than "A Catered Affair" or even YF for that matter. Laurie Metcalf?? She spends the first act doing almost nothing!! The Tonys get stranger every year!!

Congrats to them all! Even Cry Baby.. i guess.. hahah.. FINALLY KERRY BUTLER! WOOO!

How in the world did Norbert Leo Butz get passed up for Is He Dead?

Come on people!

But props to them for their nod to Chris Fitzgerald in YF. He's amazing.

Upset for the lack of Sherie love, it may have been a weak show but God she's can spin crap into gold, really, really good gold.

^^Amen!^^

Except for the part where I kind of liked TLM, but thats neither here nor there right now.

What's wrong with Cry Baby? And Grease is great why shouldn't it be up there.

A Catered Affair could eat Cry-Baby for dinner.

Seth has Boyd Gaines this Thursday. I wonder if reservations has/will jump now that Boyd is a Tony nominee.

I haven't been able to hear A Catered Affair yet. Haven't found a place that has the music yet to listen to heh.
