My picks for best featured actor are Jarrod Emick and Raul Esparza.
Gregg Edelman put me to SLEEP!
And Morton was garbage, yeah he had a pretty voice, but he couldn't act...let's hope they include that as a requirement.
Leading Actor category is a definite. Jackman, has ultimately no competition. Molina is fine as Tevye, sure, but he doesn't have a chance.
Jim, from Big River, is Michael McElroy, who in a perfect world would go right beside anyone for Best Leading or Featured...I do not know what they are considering that role as of yet. But it was one of the FEW truly brilliant performances this year. My guess is that if anyone gets nominated for Leading from Big River it would be Daniel Jenkins who was Mark Twain/voice of Huck.
Jackman
Molina
Jenkins
Tartaglia
...the 5th is TBD...
who else is SO damn eager for June 6??

Molina won't get nominated because he's a movie star. (Is he, really?) He'll get nominated because he's playing Tevye, simple as that.
I've heard mixed reviews about Molina, so thats why I am unpositive about a nomination for him. And plus, I havent see him to judge for myself.
Molina is good as Tevye...the show. eh. - He's not Zero Moestel. But he does a fine job, and since it's a Broadway Revival of one of the greatest male roles of all-time, he'll be sure to get a nod (no Mama Rose in any Broadway revival would be bereft of a nomination).

This season is Hugh Jackman's on Broadway! Not too many will bet against his winning this year's TONY.
There are other strong performances in THE BOY FROM OZ as well -Mitchel Federan, Jarrod Emick and Michael Mulheren. Their performances are all worthy of consideration for the TONY nominations.
Jo
the tony people said john tartaglia is considered for lead actor
So is Rick supporting or going against John?
I hope Rick is in the supporting category and takes it.
His puppets make Avenue Q! He also is amazing as Trekkie, Nicky and a bad idea bear.

As a lot of you already said, that Tony is most definitely Hugh Jackman's.
As for featured actor.... I really don't know. I'm hoping someone from Taboo will at least get a nomination.
