LES MIZ will most certainly only be considered for revival.

I think ACL will win for Revival considering how big of a financial success it is. Jay Johnson will win for Theatrical Event.

ACL has little to no chance of winning. There is nothing original about it and the cast is mediocre almost in its entirety.

Kiki and Herb gets in there as a special theatrical event, and then possibly Martin Short. So there will be definitely 3 nominations, maybe 4. If Martin Short is a musical, Jay Johnson will win special theatrical event, unless something else amazing squeezes into the Helen Hayes before spring.

EDIT: If Martin Short is a special event, then the Tony could go to either Jay Johnson or Martin Short. It's a tough call.

As for revivals, Les Miz won't even get a nomination. The four slots will be as follows:
A Chorus Line
The Apple Tree
Company
110 in the Shade

Les Mis
Company
The Apple Tree
110 In The Shade

I personally think it's between Les Mis and ACL for the 4th nomination. It could go either way but I feel Les Mis is the stronger production based on cast and changes made to the show. Neither will win.

Oh I agree that neither will win. But I do think that Chorus Line has way better chances of getting nominated for the following reasons.
1) As a stand alone production, this ACL is much better than this Les Miz.
2) Chorus Line has been gone longer, and thus feels more like a REVIVAL than Les Miz's return from its short hiatus.
3) Aspiringactress said that ACL's cast is almost mediocre in it's entirety, which I completely disagree with. The dancers are all great and much of the acting is good. Only Charlotte, Deidre, and Michael can be considered mediocre. If you want a mediocre cast, look at Lez Miz. When Enjolras stands out as the best cast member, there's a problem. Aaron and Celia are the only two good things about this show.

All in all, Lez Miz will not be nominated...just look at the reviews if you don't believe me.
