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, 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.

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

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?
