If memory serves, the actual reason Dustin Hoffman didn't receive a Tony nomination for his highly acclaimed (and eventually Emmy-winning) Willy Loman in 'Death Of A Salesman' had nothing to do with any prejudice against film actors on Broadway but was instead purely political. The fact that he refused to do eight performances a week, because of the taxing nature of the role, and only agreed to six per week, pissed off the various unions (who lost work due to those two missed performances per week) and led to his infamous Tony snub. The production itself, however, including, as I recall, John Malkovich's remarkable supporting performance, did win a number of Tonys. And Hoffman himself, despite the snub, was magnanimous enough to be there at the Tonys the night of the awards to represent the show.

I will probably forget a few but whenever this topic comes up, here are some that come to mind.
Ann Harada would have had my vote for Avenue Q fairly easily, but alas, no nomination whatsoever.
I think I had Janine LaManna actually slipped in for Seussical, I would have given her my vote.
Granted I didn't see her performance live (only a bootleg and listening to the cast recording), but it is a shame Loretta Devine couldn't have received a Featured Actress nomination for Dreamgirls...but those ladies from NINE were stellar so that made it difficult. In my fantasy world, I would just bump Laurie Beechman to Lead and slip Divine into Featured.
Had Amy Spanger been nominated for Kiss Me Kate, I would've strongly considered her for the win.
I can't think of many instances where someone who was snubbed would have gotten my personal vote, but there are many, of course, that I feel were robbed of nominations at least.

"Barbara Walsh in the recent revival of "Company"...
completely nuanced, completely brilliant, completely overlooked.
I thought that she was the highlight of the entire production and made Joanne her own."
Oh my God I thought she was awful. They would have been out of their skulls if they'd nominated her for that. I have liked her in everything else I have seen her in, but no, no, no.
I was not a big fan of Dustin in Death of a Salesman and was surprised but not offended by his not being nominated. pdc7 up above said that John Malkovich had been nominated for Best Featured Actor that year and won. He was not and he did not. The award, deservedly, went to Joe Mantegna for Glengarry Glen Ross.

Last season's supporting actor category was odd.
I thought that Ian Bradford (Curious Incident) would win.
And Mark Kudisch (Hand To God) was brilliant.
From previous seasons:
Lauren Worsham (Gentleman's Guide)
Nathan Lane (Addams Family)

She was perfect.
Thanks Larry!

Yeah O'Hare was THE BEST, what a shame.

Add me to those who loved O'Hare's performance. I would have nominated both women.

Norbert Leo butz for big fish, he truly deserved at least a nomination. It's a shame that type of show can't draw a crowd. I saw it here in Chicago and absolutely loved it.

I looked at this, and thought "what a great thread", then I realized I started it years ago... haha.
This season, I'll say it once again: Vanessa Hudgens, Corey Cott, Dee Hoty, Lisa Howard.

Daniel Radcliffe should've easily walked away with the Tony for his amazing performance in How to Succeed. To not even be nominated in a role that WON the Tony for the two previous productions feels almost insulting.
I thought Fiona Shaw was excellent in Testament of Mary, even though I thought the show was just alright. Funny enough, the play was nominated and she was not.

"All the kids ensemble in A CHRISTMAS STORY THE MUSICAL instead of the 3 Matildas. "
There were four Matildas. I read here that they were ineligible to be nominated because rules stated they had to play the role a certain amount of times week, and they were no longer allowed to share a nomination like the Billy Elliots.
I thought they deserved their award myself.
