Was she even eligible, since she just started last Monday? My first instinct tells me she wasn't even eligible to be nominated.

She wasn't. They would have hadf to have seen her performance by the cut off date which was right before she started.

Are you sure about that?

I doubt she would have been nominated though.

I am not ragging on Christina! It's just that it doesn't sound like her performance is that great, which is unfortunate. I was (and still am!) rooting for her.

Variety says she was snubbed. I think she was eligible after all.

This is clearly Victoria Clark's year.

She definitely would have been nominated over Jenn Gambatese. Its a really weak year for women.

Joshua,
How can you make a comment like that without having seen it? I have not seen it so I don't know either. But it is a abnoxious comment to make. From all I hear even people that don't like the production are loving here. So my educated guess would be that she would have recieved a nomination. But to make a negative comment like that with no basis is ( forgive me) kind of stupid.

The only way she could be eligible is if voters would have seen her performance. She has only been playing one week and I do believe ( and poster NYadgal would be the one to ask) cut off was a week from today.

At any rate, I expect to see her name on the tony ballot......

She will be nominated for a Tony - she's fantastic. I would give her the award hands down, she's truly great.

She clearly wasn't eligible. She started performances on Monday - that gave voters very few opportunites to see her. She wasn't snubbed - she wasn't eligible. There's no way Dilly or Gambatese would have been nominated over her had she been eligible.

WHY did they nominate Dilly?!?! Why?!?

[munkustrap178]

Posted: 4/24/05 at 9:52pm

There was no one else.

Tiny;
Sorry.. Eden is in a show that the vast majority of people consider dreadful and a waste of money. It will never, ever, ever happen.

[Tiny-Toon]

Ramona?

[DAME]

Posted: 4/24/05 at 10:06pm

huh?

[Tiny-Toon]

Posted: 4/24/05 at 10:08pm

The reviews for Ramona and Eden were very good..

[Tiny-Toon]

Posted: 4/24/05 at 10:08pm

They're terrible, Tiny. I'm sorry, you know I like you - but Eden and Ramona are terrible.

Dame,
I have to give you a standing ovation for your undying support of this show and of Christina.....FABULOUS!

[Plum]

To be fair, Ramona Keller got rather positive reviews, but she's a supporting actress and doesn't have a chance because of the show she's in, anyway.

And Applegate's "snubbing" is nothing compared to how thoroughly Spelling Bee and Gem of the Ocean got hosed. Updated On: 4/24/05 at 11:16 PM

I agree Plum, but I think people are talking about the fact that it is such a glaring, obvious omission.

Also...perhaps Spelling Bee and Christina were not on the boards long enough to be seen by OCC voters? Just a thought...

[Plum]

Posted: 4/24/05 at 11:27pm

They've had plenty of time to see Spelling Bee- the whole Off-Broadway run. If they're going to include non-Broadway shows in their nominations, they need to be there to see them.

The OCC didn't even give a NOMINATION to Bernadette Peters in Gypsy in 2003. That completely blew any credibility they may have had (which wasn't much) to me. They continue to be a big joke.

Oh dear. Thats because she was miscast and terrible in it. I am afraid you just opened a can of worms.
