75th Annual Tony Nominations — Page 5

Jordan Catalano said: "Johanna Day not being nominated is the unforgivable sin of these nominations."

 

Oh yeah!! Also no Jessica Frances Dukes! I was distracted by my happiness over Kara Young, I didn't notice that both of those performances got shut out. But I haven't seen POTUS yet so I can't really judge...

It did

The last time this happened at least in terms of musical was in 2001 when from The Producers when Brad Oscar was nominated for his role as  Franz Liebkind, while understudying the roles of Max Bialystock and Roger De Bris, and Gary Beach who was actually playing Roger De Bris was also nominated. Beach ended up wining the Tony for his performance. 

Surprised by the omission of Debra Messing, who I thought gave a wonderful performance in Birthday Candles. Wouldn’t have been disappointed with featured nominations for Susannah Flood, Crystal Finn, or John Earl Jelks either.

Did Brad Oscar ever go on for Roger DeBris? I'd love to see that performance. (I know that understudy assignment carried over from his standby days, I always assumed they just put a different understudy on when Gary was out.)

No surprise the shows opening earlier, or years ago, received less nominations to those that opened recently.  

Very questionable when Paradise Square choreography by Garrett Coleman and Jason Oremus (Irish and Hammerstep choreography) is diminished to" Choreography by Bill T. Jones" .  They deserve to be included - as it's a big portion of the show.

Brown shouldn't have been nominated for Direction of A Play (Choreography, yes).

Tamika Lawrence should've been nominated for Caroline Or Change 

Strange Loop doesn't deserve a Sound Design nomination. It was the weakest link.

Wasn’t he out with Covid for a while? Possible they didn’t get to see him."

 

Nominators are required to see all all eligible performers - and eligible performer is defined as those in the cast on opening night.  So if a nominator is in the room on the day they do the nominations, they saw Fishburne.

OH MY GOD SHOSHANA!!

 

I am so proud of her!
