As we're getting closer to Nomination Day, I'd like to ask you all who you think deserves to be among this year's Tony Nominees for Best Direction of a Play? Please keep in mind that since we've got more than seven eligible candidates this year, there will likely be five nominees.
Stephen Daldry-The Audience
*Stephen Daldry-Skylight
*Marianne Elliott-The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
*Scott Ellis-The Elephant Man
*Scott Ellis-You Can't Take It With You
Sam Gold-The Real Thing
*Jeremy Herrin-Wolf Hall
Michael Longhurst-Constellations
Pam MacKinnon-A Delicate Balance
Pam MacKinnon-The Heidi Chronicles
Joe Mantello-Airline Highway

Ian Rickson-The River
Kimberly Senior-Disgraced
Anna D. Shapiro-Fish in the Dark
Anna D. Shapiro-This is Our Youth
Daniel Sullivan-The Country House
*Moritz von Stuelpnagel-Hand to God
*Who I think deserves a nomination.
I think we'll see:
Daldry - The Audience
Von Stuelpnagel

Herrin
Fifth slot going to Kimberly Senior, with Ellis as a spoiler for one of his productions.
My bet:
Stephen Daldry-Skylight
Marianne Elliott-The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Scott Ellis-You Can't Take It With You
Jeremy Herrin-Wolf Hall
Moritz von Stuelpnagel-Hand to God
Though I would pick:

Michael Longhurst-Constellations
Moritz von Stuelpnagel-Hand to God
