The Scottsboro nominations are amazing.

I can't believe no Radcliffe! That is really surprising and I think wrong.

But what does Aaron Tveit have to do to get nominated for a Tony! He kills himself in Catch Me!

Aaron Tveit being snubbed is just beyond me. No I am not a "fangirl" but you can't deny his ability to carry a show. Poor guy

Yay, Joanna Lumley!

Wow, Tammy Blanchard!

OH MY GOD. PATTI AND LAURA?????????

[ljay889]

Posted: 5/3/11 at 8:40am

Yay, Patti!

I think they went a little overboard with Scottsboro! But not surprising.

Tammy Blanchard? OH, PLEASE.

And the two featured actor SCOTTSBORO nods? No.

These were extremely odd.

Lot of SB love there. I'm actually pleasantly surprised by a lot of the choices.

I need to see Scottsboro Boys. Any real chance of it returning thanks to the nominations?

Posted: 5/3/11 at 8:41am

Lots of love for Scottsboro-Terrific !!!

No Priscilla as Best Musical- Too bad

No Nick Adams- No love loss there.

Catch -Squeezed in as Best Musical but not much else.

Tveit- Poor guy.

I missed the Leading actor categories, who made the cut?

[broadwayjim42]

Posted: 5/3/11 at 8:44am

I know there were an abundance of potential Best Actor nominees, but I think Radcliffe's omission is pretty obscene.

[best12bars]

Posted: 5/3/11 at 8:44am

No Estelle Parsons.

Amazing day for the cast and crew of the Scottsboro well deserved all around!

[Trish2]

Posted: 5/3/11 at 8:45am

Ouch-no Radcliffe !

[Mark_E]

Posted: 5/3/11 at 8:45am

Shocked Radcliffe didn't get a nomination.

[ljay889]

Posted: 5/3/11 at 8:47am

SISTER ACT and VERGE really deserved spots in Best Orchestrations.

[best12bars]

Posted: 5/3/11 at 8:47am

No score nomination for Catch Me If You Can.

[MimiJudith]

Posted: 5/3/11 at 8:47am

Yay Mackenzie Crook!!!!!! And yay Judith Light!!!

And of course yay Mark Rylance, although I thought that was a shoo-in.

So happy for Colman Domingo. He's such a terrific performer.

Also happy to see Arian Moayed. I was worried he might get lost in the shuffle.

I am not surprised about Aaron Tveit at all. He's got loads of talent, but absolutely no personality. The only time he was exciting to watch was when he shared the stage with Butz.

Radcliffe seemed like a natural choice to host this year. That's in jeopardy now that they didn't nominate him.

I am absolutely shocked they didn't nominate Radcliffe. Were Hunter and Cuddles on the nominating committee?
