I was thinking that the excellent Jim Norton certainly deserved a nomination for his work in Finian's Rainbow.
Last year, I felt that Mitch Jarvis was robbed too.
Who else?

Posted: 6/15/10 at 5:00pmI thought Alexander Hanson did a fabulous job in Night Music and wouldn't have been sad to see him win (though I was not disappointed in Hodge's win). And I agree about Jim Norton, though I would have loved to see Chris Fitzgerald actually win.

Posted: 6/15/10 at 5:12pmI could not agree more - Everyday Rapture was WAY overlooked. Too bad.

Nicole Kidman in The Blue Room. Should have won the Tony for Best Actress in A Play. Wasn't even nominated.
Kidman was a bit stupid with her timing. If she'd have done that play this year, when the Tonys actually started showing love for big movie stars, she'd have won the Tony by a landslide.

There were several who should have been nominated, but I can only think of two things that should have been nominated and won.
Alicia Silverstone for Featured Actress in Time Stands Still
Everyday Rapture for Best Musical

Everyday Rapture for Best Musical. BY FAR the best musical of the year.
Alexander Hanson for Best Actor in a Musical. Could have taken Kimball's spot.
Nathan Lane for Best Actor in a Musical. just because he keeps that sinking ship afloat.

Quentin Earl Darrington- he gave a brilliant performance in Ragtime.
Also, Everyday Rapture should have not only been nominated, but should have won Best Musical.

Wait, are people naming performers who should have WON, or who simply deserved to be nominated? Because some of these people in no way deserved the award over their competition.
And I agree about Everyday Rapture.

Posted: 6/15/10 at 7:21pmRobert Petkoff as Tateh in RAGTIME. Seeing the footage of him during the Tony presentation reminded how he brought such depth and romance to that role.

Robert Petkoff should have been nominated and won the Tony for what he did in "Ragtime". He was brilliant. Just my opinion.
And I thought Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig should have been nominated for their work.

This year...Nathan Lane for The Addams Family. As awful as the show was, he carried it on his back and made it bearable.
In years past, there are two that stand out. Both of them should have not only been nominated in their respective years, but won.
The first is Jeff McCarthy for Urinetown. The second is Janine LaManna for Seussical, a flawed show, but she gave it the heart it was otherwise lacking.

Posted: 6/15/10 at 7:47pmStrange fact: Robert Goulet wasn't even nominated for a Tony for his star-making performance as Lancelot in the original Camelot.
