I'm still surprised Bryce got nominated over Pasquale for the Outer Critics.

I wonder if they'll give this to Sutton, actually. She's well-liked and a bonafide Broadway star, and from all accounts is giving a terrific performance in a role that's very different from anything she's ever done. Awarding her here could be a nice way to honor her career as well as this specific performance.

wizard-I think she may win. However, this is very, very tough year-there are some veterans on that list who've never won.

Anyone who pays a membership fee can be a member of the Drama League and vote in their annual awards. There is no small contingency of people that sit down and hash out the winners.

CurtainPullDowner, Celia was nominated for Peter and the Starcatcher.

It's really quite insulting to have some of these nominees on here when a performance like the one Celia Kennan-Bolger gave was given this season. Really quite upsetting.

Beth Malone being snubbed again sucks as well.

Linda Emond is snubbed... Again!

Good for Celia that she's getting so much love on this site, but…I thought she was the least effective of the four actors on that stage. She pretty much cowered from beginning to end with nary a nuance IMHO. Granted, I'm not sure I've ever seen that role work.

Well, it looks like NPH's chances for the Tony are now cemented.

Also, surprising ALL THE WAY took the prize, considering there were Off-Broadway plays with far more critical support.

I was surprised to see Gentleman's Guide win over Fun Home, to be honest. I was anticipating Fun Home would win most of the pre-Tony awards.

Very happy to see Gentleman's Guide win.

It's not possible for you to be "very happy" about anything.

He's happy to see a show he hates not succeed.

Has the winner of this singular acting award ever gone on to NOT win the Tony?

Has the winner of this singular acting award ever gone on to NOT win the Tony?

Yup. Several times really recently in fact. Last year, Nathan Lane won for The Nance, but Tracy Letts won the Tony for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and in 2010, Alfred Molina won for Red while Denzel won the Tony for Fences. Also, in 2007, Liev Schreiber won for Talk Radio but Frank Langella won the Tony for Frost/Nixon (in this case, however, Langella was ineligible for the Drama League Award since he had previously won it).

Oh wow thanks, interesting!

I was surprised FUN HOME didn't win, as well. I think, though, GENTLEMAN"S GUIDE is experiencing a rise in support from some in the community who think it is the best show of the Bway season and yet may lose the Tony to a show with broader appeal, like BEAUTIFUL.

I think this may be a foreshadowing of the Tony Awards.

jas1234: it was last year. I remember Kinky Boots won the Drama League for Outstanding Musical.

For fans of Neil who might want to see what he said in his acceptance speech ...

Neil brought up topics that ranged from 'Fences' to X-rated films.
