Loved Allison's comments. I wouldn't have minded all 3 ladies sharing a nomination.

The Tony nominating committee is full of sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigots!!!

Jazzy, what new musical this year did you LIKE?
Didn't you know? TheCharleston is now suddenly a fan of Rock of Ages and cheering it on.

Out of support for Stephanie and Megan, Allison should rescind her nomination.

"Out of support for Stephanie and Megan, Allison should rescind her nomination."
No she shouldn't. That would be stupid. She should hope that she gets the upset, and then accept the award on behalf of the three of them.

It is obvious that Alice Ripley is getting it.

That, on top of the fact that Ripley is giving the performance of a lifetime. Janney just isn't even close to giving a performance of the same caliber as Ripley.
Ripley just deserves it more, for multiple reasons. To be honest, I would have much rather seen Block or Hilty get nominated than Janney. Again, for multiple reasons.

She's the favorite, yeah, but weirder things have happened. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if Allison picked up votes because of the Best Musical snub. If there's an upset, it's going to Janney. She'd be stupid to withdraw her nomination.

It would be stupid, but a class act thing to do. Similar to Julie Andrews.

I thought 9 to 5 was shooting for next year Tony's after I missing the several nominations.

IMO it's a very different situation. Janney wasn't the only person nominated from 9 to 5. Should Marc Kudisch withdraw? Dolly? She was nominated because she was the most deserving of the girls, and gave, IMO, the best performance in the show. There's nothing unjust or unfair about her nomination over Hilty and Block. The snubs in Best Musical, Best Book, Sets, etc. are something to whine about, but Hilty and Block had an outside shot at best.
Anyone could've seen this coming. Unless they were nominated as a group (I believe Janney brought this up? Like Billy Elliot) people were going to be left out. Not putting Hilty and Block in featured set this up to happen.

Ripley is giving an excellent performance in N2N, but I thought her performance in SIDE SHOW was better...plus her voice was in top form back in 1997.
Still, she deserves to win this year.

Someone with extensive TONY AWARD History knowledge.... please prove that this ridiculous comment is completely inaccurate. I know it is - I just can't think of past examples.

I kind of want Allison Janney to win. Although she's giving an excellent performance in N2N, there's just something about Alice Ripley that leaves me cold.

I could think of other examples of musically untrained actors/actresses winning, too, but I don't want this thread to become even more ridiculous.

I actually want Janney to win as well, but I thought I was the only one who did, so I was afraid to say something.
